Meh. Need a damn arena already. Believe me, Iona has more pressing needs than a new arena.

The good news is that I can keep my gear that says Iona College.
And it won't be long before they come out with a shirt/jacket that says, "LaPenta Means Business".

Anticlimactic for me, I had mistakenly thought they had already renamed it after LaPenta - guess that was only the newly renovated building.

I was referencing internal needs like infrastructure, accessibility and budgets that are woefully underfunded because areas are not in the forefront of "bringing in money" to the College, but still necessary to the operation of the college.

Sports are the best commercial for any school. Not the right reason to pick a school, but reaches the most eyes

I don't often agree with 1970, but I do here. In the words of Bear Bryant, "no one rallies (Sp?) around the Math team".

Beautiful old campus. At least it used to be. Shame.

If Iona is involved in these talks I hope to hell it is only to take over their nursing program. A shame that CNR will fold but we need to steer clear of their debt.

Just posted something on the Off Topic board about this...didn't see this.
As 1983 mentioned, CNR boasted a pretty strong School of Nursing which might attract a partner like Iona or others.

Wonder if we can buy it and put a 4000 seat basketball arena there. Would be similar to the Quinnipiac situation.
