4) why didn't DePauw run the ball on the first play at the 1? 

Ouch, that was a lot of bad luck for the tigers

How much are they asking for it? I figure it would take at least $150 million to start a new college with a decent endowment if some billionaire was interested in a namesake legacy, probably could x that figure by 2 or 3.  I doubt the Alabama A&M offer will be outbid by anybody though and it seems like a good plan for everyone but miles college

Unless miles has a major donor this seems like a bad move for them and for BSC if their goal is to keep their campus functioning post closure especially with the Alabama A&M offer for the BSC campus.I just don't see how it would make sense for miles to run two campuses but my guess is this move by miles is just to block the Alabama A&M offer to move into Birmingham. I wonder if Alabama A&M would be interested in the miles campus if miles moved to the BSC campus. Ideally, miles and BSC would have merged a year ago but it would have been hard to merge the two schools. It might make sense for miles to merge into the Alabama A&M system but they would lose their independence. The big takeaway is the state of Alabama should have just made the loan to BSC

Is miles planning to move campuses?

That would be a strange move by Hendrix since they have plenty of money

Any or all from Centenary, Lagrange and Austin would be nice additions.

Centenary College could work

Is BSC going to accept the Alabama A&M offer? Still surprised auburn doesn't have interest in starting an Auburn-Birmingham campus.

Would it be crazy for Alabama A&M to just move to Birmingham and for University of Alabama at Huntsville take over the current Alabama A&M campus ?

Always thought Hillsdale would be better off in Division III and could fit the NCAC

Seems like she would have been a good President of BSC. Hopefully, the campus gets taken over by another school soon

The W at Mississippi state university sounds like a hotel

Any idea what will happen to the campus?

Seems like Miles College should try to merge with the shell of BSC instead of trying to buy the campus after it closes. Than post merger reapply for the $30 million loan from the state and sell its campus to a state community college. In that case, miles could bypass a large purchase price for the BSC campus and move to D3

If BSC could collect 1/3 of the $45 million it says has been pledged for awhile that should buy them at least another year of operation to further fundraise. They could also try to go back to the state legislature but I suspect the governor is also against any state aid so she probably would veto anything passed next spring. Unless some super rich person or foundation decides at the last minute to make a huge donation, BSC future looks grim. Those people and foundations sure do love to give money to schools that don't need money but that's life.  The best bet is a merger to keep the campus functioning but there aren't too many options. I wonder if miles would just switch campuses but that still would result in a vacant campus. I don't really see the BSC being vacant so somebody is going to buy it and run some type of school at its location. Ideally that school would be a 1500 student D3 institution
