Times-Union on sports at local colleges

[UAalum72]

In a page A-1 story "available only in print" - Getting honey from sports buzz - Pete Iorizzo speaks to D'Argenio and McElroy about the effect of sports as advertising for a college when it's on national TV. McElroy on a run in Shanghai in August

2006 and a guy on a bus yells out "UAlbany and UConn". Siena applications jumping 10% with each NCAA appearance despite declining numbers of high-school age students in the Northeast, increasing applications from out-of-state, and higher quality applicants. UA admissions director D'Andrea on how any positive event adds to the sum total of his efforts recruiting out of state and international students. Lee Seravillo on sports getting alumni to the 'front porch'. A couple of paragraphs on St. Rose and RPI building facilities, getting the school's name out there.

 

Expect reaction in a few days from the usual gang of idiots.
