Numbers may matter some, however it is not the key factor in winning. In Indiana, particularly Fort Wayne, the largest school is Northrop, they are lousy! Always have been, and from the looks of it......always will be.
Trinity's advantage................TRADITION!
It draws the kids, coaches, and fans. Same goes for X. Without the winning TRADITION they would be another Bishop David, and we know where BD is......their gone.
If I remeber right...........The Rocks almost went co-ed a few years back, main reason...declining enrollment. Things have changed.
TRADITION ..........kids just want to be a PART!
