[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNU is D3, so it will never ever compare to D1 sports from a rah rah spectator perspective.

WVU is aggressively trying to attract students because their enrollment has declined by like 1/3 over the last 10 years.  You may be surprised what merit they will provide.  Obviously, just apply and see what happens.[/quote]
Very interesting. Is there a graph of the student body population you know of? I had no idea this was happening.[/quote]

So, there are many negative news articles about WVU if you do a search...they are cutting a number of programs and professors.

Yes, never good...but they are still making a big push to increase enrollment and the normal popular majors are not really impacted.  Here is a blurb from an article:https://newrepublic.com/article/176202/west-virginia-university-higher-education-enrollment-cliff-cuts

Some, though, were in outright denial—perhaps none more so than Gee of West Virginia. In 2017, he announced a plan to grow WVU enrollment from 28,409—after a decade of holding steady between 28,000 and 29,700—to 40,000 by 2020, and spent accordingly on debt-financed building projects and industry partnerships. “Of course, we will be careful with our growth,” Gee said at the time. “We will protect the quality of life that we love in this community, and we will not overburden our infrastructure.” The opposite has come true: WVU had a little over 26,000 students in 2023 and was $33 million in debt during the last fiscal year—yet has continued to spend. The future is no brighter: The university projects a loss of 5,000 students over the next decade due to reduced enrollment, costing it $72.5 million.[/quote]
