(not going to repeat nonsense)

It's nice to know the endowment numbers, but ...

what is their athletic budget?
how much of that budget is subsidized?
are they willing and able to at least double that budget to be competitive in D1?

On the schools listed:

Frostburg State has completed only 1 year of their reclassification from D3 so they are many years away from maybe being in a position to think about D1.

Pennsylvania has begun discussions on possibly consolidating PASSHE schools within about 5 years because many of the schools have some financial issues and facing declining enrollment.

Winston-Salem State has already said "been there, done that, not again" and they replaced baseball with men's golf just a year ago to save money.

Fayetteville State just dropped a sport last month also to save money.

UNC-Pembroke is moving from the Peach Belt to the Carolinas next year in another money saving move and very unlikely to change to a D1 conference so soon.

It's funny that back in February you were saying Virginia State was too small for D1 and now they are good to join D1 even though their enrollment has not changed.

Show a link for the possibility of UMES and Coppin State football.
