Under Bobby V, Sacred Heart has been expanding their athletics program in leaps and bounds. Doubters (like, initially, myself) thought that his lack of understanding of college athletics would be a hamper to their athletics department. Not so. They are expanding facilities, adding sports, and getting funds. I think it’s fair to say they’re on the rise.
Academically, they are at 57% acceptance – not ideal for a PL school. But they offer a lot of sports – 31 of them – and there is a lot of overlap with Patriot League schools. (For that matter, they are also in EIWA in wrestling and ACHA in hockey – which both have PL members in it too.)
Athletically, Sacred Heart looks pretty good for a PL school. Academically, they need to improve. Overall, are they a possibility?
