I hope we hear a news release about WIU moving to D2..... I want to compete again.
WIU Athletes work hard to represent the University and Macomb. Regardless of any comment I make on a topic I want to affirm my support. Go Leathernecks....
Remember Athletics are a window for the public to view the entire University.

Moving to D-II would have a negtive ripple effect.
Sending a broad mssg to all that WIU is moving backwards.
WIU is in a situation no different than probablly 40-50 D-I schools right now as far as money woes, and a bleek outlook when it comes to trying to keep up with the cost of D-I sports. Many schools are losing lots of money.

Honestly, I don't want to move back down. I don't think it would ever happen. I say it in jest because of the things that I feel should be done differently. I want to operate like a D1 institution. The attention to detail is what bothers me. I understand the overwhelming costs of some of the needs WIU has but the lack of execution on the little things leaves me feeling lost on what the true goal of the athletic department is (don't copy and paste the mission statement for me). The schools has lost focus on using athletics as a marketing tool. Also, I have been taught athletics provides a window to the school for the general public to view. It is the nature of our society to follow sports... I think we would all want to show that we have pride, class, talent, intelligence, and much more. I do not see that being reflected at the levels they should be at the moment.
