RE: Which FBS or FCS schools will be the next to drop football?
DavidSt... look who isn't doing so well in PA.
Even the once mighty PASSHE system is starting to crumble. Mergers or shutters...yikes.
I'm pretty annoyed by this, being a PA resident. The state's pulled funding back for years, and Penn State has shoved its hand out there for far too long. A school like Cheyney would have been forced well over a decade ago to get its stuff together about merging or closing, but, because it's the old HBCU, it becomes a way too sensitive subject and preservation project. Nevermind it being less than a 15 minute drive to the largest, most successful, and still growing school in the system. Nope...the likes of Lock Haven (probably with either Mansfield, Bloomsburg, Clarion, or IUP), Slippery Rock (with Cal-PA), and Kutztown (with East Stroudsburg) will get sucked down, too. Because it's gotten that bad, and nobody could make a decision on any one of them to just stop operating. And that includes Penn State and many of its satellite campuses adding to the bloat.
