Re: New Hofstra President, Dr. Susan Poser
I would really like to see HU grow it's numbers, and I'm hoping UIC's much larger size has her in that mindset - it's become way too small IMO. About 8-10k undergrad, and another X for grad (10-15 total max) seems right sized to me. It's built for that, and those numbers can help so many things, in...

Re: New Hofstra President, Dr. Susan Poser
HU can absolutely handle being bigger, and WAS bigger when I was there YEARS ago. There's plenty of room and infrastructure to expand to the numbers I've thrown out there, because they DID it already before. I want to see 8-10k undergrad, and 4k grad. So I'll edit my original numbers slightly to re...

Re: New Hofstra President, Dr. Susan Poser
It is an excellent choice. UIC was founded in 1982 after the combining of many academic units and schools and the sports programs are less than 40 years old. UIC has an excellent reputation in Chicago and in Illinois. About 1 out of 10 Chicago residents that are college grads graduated from UIC. Ver...

Re: Jeff Hathaway OUT
Not sure if the arguments about Hathaway's replacement are all valid. Fiscally, Hofstra is in a pretty good place as compared to five years ago. Rabinowitz is a tremendous fundraiser- the endowment is approaching half a billion! The goal is to get the University less tuition dependent, which I beli...

Re: Jeff Hathaway OUT
He def has P5 athletic chops and ties to the northeast... I do agree the UConn connection may not be the best route this time, but I also do not think DM from Adelphi is what we need at this time either. Looking for a bit higher level, although not too high 8-) HU needs someone who has strong AD ex...

Re: Hofstra/Hofstra Sports and the New Free College Cuomo Pl
Correct but Fordham and St. Johns get 50000 applicants. What I forgot to mention The level of enrollment has gone down and the graduation rate is 53% at 4 years is the same at Hofstra when compared to a decade ago. You get more applicants and slightly the same entering class and the graduation rate ...

Re: its official
Hofstras mens and womens teams are now in last place in the CAA. How did this happen? Agree with Polito totally. The coaches recruit the players then it is up to the staff to nurture the players. Is it all the players' fault? No. It is all the coaches' fault? No. It is a combination. 2001 was the l...

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
For whatever it is worth she is only on partial athletic scholarship at Hofstra and not full. Am not sure what it was at UConn, but either way is more money for her and family to pay since Hofstra is more expensive as a private school. It is immaterial. Hofstra compensates her in the form of a scho...

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
I disagree Hofstrahall. It was not a smart move by her but certainly doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a chance to play college soccer and if she has talent and is willing to learn from her mistake I have no problem at all giving her a chance. Look at Halil Kanacevic a few years ago for St. Joe's do...

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Evan, why would you even compare the two incidents? Agreed. But the question was she the only athlete that could play soccer for Hofstra? Of course, Hathaway and the President knew about Noriana Radwan. There are plenty of athletes and non-athletes who are more worthy of a scholarship at Hofstra th...

Actually while we have 10,870 on 6,833 are undergraduate. These are the students who get involved in our sports programs. iT IS DOWN ABOUT 15% OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. Enrollment is down.

Re: THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
HU is now #85 on the KenPom rankings. There are too many mid-major programs like Monmouth, Wichita State and the A10 teams that do not win their tournament in front of HU. I cannot see a NCAAT at large bid for HU. Agreed. The team did well as well as the coaching staff. The wound of tonight is stil...

Re: WAKE UP CALL STAFF AND FANS - REALITY CHECK TIME
I have to disagree with Hofstrahall's argument about money. I think our budget is just fine. The latest data released is for 2014. Hofstra actually had the 3rd largest MBB budget in the CAA, at $2,701,104. That also puts at the 122nd highest budget of all D1 schools. The only 2 schools in the CAA t...

Re: Basketball tickets - Hofstra vs Stony Brook
Did you just here that rumbling sound. Its Mount Polito about to erupt. The defense improved. The problem is that Hofstra as a prior poster said above. There should have been another game in the 10 day lag. Also Hofstra will not win in the CAA. The Siena loss was one loss and now Stony Brook. The C...
