I received an email today from UA athletics saying they are bringing back baseball and adding women's lacrosse. Everything I had heard about money trouble over?

Surprising.

Many sports can be revenue postive if you give athletics credit for the tuition and fees paid by non-scholarship athletes. I wonder if this is playing a role here.

I saw that the former baseball players were vocal. Very surprised they have been successful. Glad for them. Surprised that donations are covering this. Very impressive to raise the money so quickly.

I'd be surprised if they were out of financial trouble, but I have to imagine the students they do have attending provide a higher margin than the commuters they primarily served in the past. Lots more kids living on campus/in student neighborhood right off campus. Driving down Exchange Street on their campus is a vastly different experience from the Akron I recall 10 years ago. Looks more like a High Street Columbus Jr.

While I look forward to beating them in football, hoops is the game I have circled.
