Re: UAA Seawolves offseason thread- time for change
FWIW, I've heard some rumors of UAA wanting to be D1 across the board for a while now. I personally think it's one of the reasons you are building a 5,000 seat arena for a basketball team that doesn't usually sell out its current 1,000 seat facility.
It might happen, or it might not. But I don't see it happening without a big time budget increase, and as Donald pointed out, athletics are simply not a major priority in the UA system. UAF can't even get a (majorly needed) Patty Center renovation on its top 10 infrastructure priority list.
