I'm wondering whether or not the Valley is respected enough to give Drake an at-large bid.
I'll answer my own question: No. Latest RPI had Missouri State ranked 101, Drake 105, UNI 137 and Valpo 146

Eugene Parker needs to be properly honored at Valpo. It is an outrage that this had not been. A great person and leader. He was a pioneer in American minority athletics and did more for sport than Jon Steinbrecher, who is in the Hall of Fame, ever did.

On a personal note, I am disappointed that VU does not put more effort into recruiting the Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana market for more students. Concordia Lutheran High in FW gets bombarded by all the "mid-west" Concordias...AnnArbor, Chicago, Wisconsin(Milwaukee) and Seward , Nebraska. Last year was really disappointing in that there were no Valpo selections but a good number of Concordia recruits for that senior class.
I really think Valpo is sometimes a hidden gem and the great facts and attributes of our School are not being conveyed to the junior and senior classes of high schools in this area.

How did the WBB program not get addressed? Apathy? they have been brutal.

I would hope that if the legal avenue to stop the sale does not prevail, as I expect would be the case, and the looming specter of bad public relations continues, then this would be a good fallback position for those who wish to retain the painting as an asset in the museum and those who wish to sell the painting but retain respect. Maybe it is all part of the art of the deal: neither side offers a compromise until other paths are exhausted. In any case, it appears a compromise would be a win-win solution.
excellent idea, but don't you think they would have considered that?

Without clear enrollment strategy and tactics you can't succeed because you can't recruit each of the 1 million or more 12th graders every year. Somewhere in the "strategic plan" internal details there must be a target number of students from Lutheran high schools. If that target is absent, then it speaks more loudly about Lutheran identity than a conservative target.
VU72, despite his numerous efforts, has never heard assurance of this priority or seen evidence that it gets carried out.
Yes, ValpoTX is absolutely right that Lutherans as a church body are decreasing and that it can't become a dominant strategy. But is logical to start there in defining your targets since it can be rapidly identified. I think there may be several Lutheran high schools who graduate half or more of their classes as non-Lutherans. If those parents and students were open to Lutheran influence, then they are certainly higher than the vague pools of kids with no family or school affinity.

College golf scoring (for men and women). For each round, you count the four best 18 hole scores out of five players designated as playing for the team. In some tournaments, teams will have additional players compete individually and their scores cannot count in calculating the team score (though they are included in the individual competition).
