A10 is a 1 bid league now which means credits get split 15 ways. That is far less money then 4 or 5 bids going 14 ways!! Add in the presumption that we are probably 14th-15th tier in NIL budget. I'm ready for the MAAC, though it would be unpopular, it beats the suggestion seen recently here that we may depend on D3 for the sake of enrollment money.
MAAC = Atlantic City! And less flying to away games for bball and all sports down the line.
La Salle thrived in the MAAC once and remained nationally relevant. What are the downsides, if any, of a conference affiliation change, besides some recruiting budget limitations and some potential buyout money (subject to negotiation)?

Beyond the team getting better, the university needs this building. or to move out of Philly Parker ran a "tough on crime," mayoral campaign, similar to Michael Nutter. If enough voters get tired of the DA, than Krasner will be voted out. The city will clean up rather quickly. I don't mean that Logan will be a college town, but it will go back to what it was in 2011. That will help La Salle, St. Joes, and Temple with enrollment. So far, the university city schools have navigated through the present day challenges of Philadelphia relatively unscathed. The neighborhoods of Logan and North Philly have tremendously hurt La Salle and Temple over the course of the Kenney and Krasner regime. |

Cam is an anthropological archaeologist with scholarly interests in Native American architecture and community planning, non-capitalist political economies, remote sensing and archaeometry.
Is he a vegetarian like K'zell?

As we have gotten smaller with enrollment I like the idea of condensing the campus and investing in a smaller area of infrastructure which allows more resources to go to that smaller area. it does make sense.
On the other hand it does somewhat signal the hurdles we face in raising the enrollment numbers.
Finally, can we please get everything announced and out there. It is dragging soooooo long.

If I'm La Salle, I'm seriously looking at selling everything owned north of Olney. Currently have: North Dorms (North Campus) St. Miguel Apartments
Neumann
BasilsIf La Salle is a 2500 student undergraduate school now...how many of those 2500 are in housing? A third? I'd guess it's even less than that, but lets say it's a third. Can you fit those students without North Dorms? Can dining at Basils effectively feed the on-campus students? You become a lot more walled if nobody has to cross Olney Avenue. Close 20th street to internal traffic only and it gets even better. |

7 acres. I don't know. I think it's more like it is better to not have it than to have it.

Starting to be more aggressive advertising in South Jersey. View AttachmentI got hit up early this summer in a group text to donate $2500 to fund those banners. I declined. It was all funded with donations and I felt donations would be used for better things like scholarships for the students. Funny thing...i heard people on beach question who "Roy" was when they saw the banner. |

Until East Germantown and Logan, and for that matter the rest of the city, gets tougher on crime (and by that I mean something similar to when Michael Nutter was Mayor and a pre-Krasner DA period) La Salle, and Temple, are going to seriously suffer. Temple is big enough to tread water until the clean up happens. La Salle went from a St. Joes sized school to Gwynedd Mercy. That's it in a nutshell.
Sorry for the run on sentence. We better hope that the Parker administration can clean the up the city. I believe that she can, and will, and that's why she was able to quietly defeat louder candidates with more money, in the Democratic primary. If the pendulum doesn't swing back, it's tough sledding for us and Explorers.

They continue to vote people in positions that wreck things instead of build them. |

Buried in yesterday's ( lowest circulation ) Phila. Inquirer Saturday edition " Health " Section ( rather than in the Business, Education or PA News Sections ). Thomas Jefferson University (TJU ) ' allegedly ' failed to utilize / dispense $5.7 million in federal medical student loan funds, but simply added it to the University's Endowment fund, where it generated $2.7 million in interest from 2009 to 2016. TJU has now returned the $5.7 million in question to the feds, together with disgorging the $2.7 million in illicit interest / appreciation. Meanwhile, " Of the 25 senior executives listed on Jefferson's website two years ago, only 5 remain in top roles on the current roster of 20 leaders ".Thomas Jefferson University will pay $2.7 million to feds over alleged misuse of student loan money.

As far as problems go, nearby crime is like sixth on La Salle’s list. I think it's a major issue in the enrollment decline from when you and I roamed campus and now. My buddy got stuck up at Rockland Beer distributor. But nobody got killed at a weed corner (right by the Fiji house). It's not even rivaling crews. The biggest weed corner in the city is a block from Fiji. It's basically light selling moonshine in present day Philadelphia. Yet a little kid was killed in a shootout. I don't like putting this out there to scare people away. I don't was to stir shit. It concerns me as somebody that loves La Salle and would like to send 3 girls to school there in the next 10 to 19 years. It's the reality of present day East Germantown and Logan. Joe, you could be totally right, and I could be totally wrong. I will allow that you're waaayyy more plugged into the school than me. I've read some of Delgreco's posts and articles, and at a minimum, it hurts us getting local recruits. They want out of Philly. I just think it has to correspond with the general student population as well. ***full disclosure, my high school is suffering from severe enrollment decline as well. I'm very nostalgic nowadays. |

It’s a reality of all inner city schools and while it seems to be worse now from the outside, the stats around La Salle haven’t increased at the levels you’re seeing at Temple or even University City. La Salle’s benefit is that on-campus kids don’t even have to cross a road to get to most of their classes. Even kids going to the business school can use the bridge.
The crime you’re going to experience? It’s going to be off campus whether in a neighborhood or transporting.
It’s not good, but Temple has a big time problem. Since their school is integrated on a major road and plopped amongst the inner city…with students that need to coexist there…they can’t do anything other than add police officers.
La Salle is much more isolated and, if they sold North Dorms, could be completely isolated. And my comment about the sixth problem on their list wasn’t an attempt to be glib or combative. Enrollment is through the floor, but not because of the campus. It’s like that because less kids are in archdiocese schools which were major feeders. Schools like La Salle High and the Prep have become elite on the level of Germantown Academy, and those kids are going elsewhere. The cost of La Salle, while lower than other private schools, is still many times the cost of say…West Chester. And the degree doesn’t carry any additional weight. Campus improvements have happened, but are not flashy. A new business school doesn’t drive enrollment. Is anybody clamoring for ISBT anymore? Is anyone kicking the door in for La Salle’s business program or MBA?
These are some of the problems as I see them.
