Bellarmine moving to D-1

How long before they surpass LilBrothel as the top D1 Basketball program in Louisville?

When the NCAA Death-Penalty hammer falls on LilBro will Bellarmine displace UofLoL as the top local D1? Will Bellarmine be allowed to use the KFC YUM center so that the lights can remain on?

Truth told I am very happy for Bellarmine. Welcome into the big boy pool. The water is warm....and wet.
 
Not sure this will pan out but it could. Knights Hall only holds 2160 and i am afraid ticket and food prices go up. 60 per cent of the crowd is senior citizens so I will be curious to see what happens. Wish they would have stayed put. Grass isn’t always greener.

Also 1.6 million to NCAA to go division 1 and that is a joke plus making them wait 4 years before they can play in ncaa is stupid too. Half of that entrance fee money will probably go into Emmett’s pocket.
 
Their bball program is not a fan of UK. I think UK knows it. Wouldn’t think we see a game.

They will get a share of the NCAA Tourn monies each year. That should make it worth the losses that pile up.

Don't be so sure that the losses will pile up.

Great campus, very good coach. They will take some lumps but I look for them to be competitive from the jump in the ASun.
 
Bellarmine is a very good school and they have a very strong program under Coach Scotty. They should be as strong as Lipscolm or Bellmont and I would not be surprised if they eventually compare with Murray, Morehead. If this helps their enrollment grow then it is a win for them.
 
Lowering tuition prices would help their enrollment grow. It is something like $32,000/yr.
Just looked it up, and the supposed total cost for a year at Bellermine is over $59,000. Most of that is tuition (nearly $39,000) and room & board (over $12,000). I remember reading recently it's now the most expensive school in the state, having passed Centre and Transy, which surprised me a little. Part of the craziness of higher education costs nowadays is that $59,000 is nearly meaningless - it's just the sticker price, which no one pays, and the true price is a whole lot less (usually).

I went to UK in the late 80s, and tuition was $3,000 a year and room/board was about the same. If you want a good example for the proposition that the world has gone completely stark raving lunatic mad, the cost of attending college is a good start......

I believe I read somewhere that no student at BU pays the full boat. I believe 100% receive some sort of assistance. Now that could be Keys money that allowed for that stat to be given but anyway....a huge number do not.
 
I paid $15 per credit hour when I was there. I think that was for two of the years and then it jumped to $30. Too long ago. Foggy memory sometimes.

When I went to IUS it was like 150 a credit hour or something and that was a deal. I’m curious as to what it is now.

It’s not college anymore. It’s indoctrination into an ideology unless your there to really learn to be a nurse, accountant, engineer, etc. but you still get a big dose of it in gender studies and I wouldn’t be surprised if they have many LGBT studies as well by now.
