The school itself is in the middle of nowhere, but it's only 2-3 hours from Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati, you'd think you'd be able to have some success just recruiting students from those 3 cities.

That percent probably grew as enrollment fell. Not long ago they were over 400 students. Still tiny, and foolish to ever be D2, but probably not quite as high of a percent of athletes.

What bothers me most is that they were D2 until a few months ago. Their calculations said they could save $1.5 million by switching to NAIA but they waited so long to do it they couldn't realize any of the savings. Incompetence.
