Interesting, giving up on scholarships and going DIII in all sports, but bringing football back. This is the model of many liberal arts colleges back east and midwest. They use football as a recruiting tool for male students who have stopped going to college at the same rate as females.

This was for years an arguement that never got heard on campus at LB, that for example the track team has 12.1 and 18.1 scholarships for men and women, but fields a team of 90, thus bringing ~60 paying members to the university. That never gets discussed in budget considerations, but also has a much greater impact at private schools who aren't paying much less tuition.
