Trine U gets an A+

So I visited Trine Monday and came out of the experience extremely impressed. I had read in the paper that the facilities were great and that the program was doing extremely well. We arrive at the stadium and are directed up the stairs into what i thought was a press box but turned out to be an extremely nice suite like room for people to watch Trine games or to show off to new recruits. Then they showed us actual suites for special guests for games. Not something I expected at a D III school. Plus a stadium that seats 5,000 and routinely gets that and more for home games. Next I noticed that every coach and most players I met were wearing these big silver sparkling rings. Trine has won their last three conference championships including last years. Each time they win they get a ring and I'm not going to lie that was a real incentive in the recruiting process. As one of their players said "You come here we'll getcha a ring". Plus their stadium is new along with the locker room, meeting rooms, and weight room. Trine moved to #1 on the football list of schools we'll just see if that's the route I end up taking.
