Providence @ Nazareth

Hearing this too, and sounds like it was one of the issues with Plantz. I’m honestly shocked at the numbers at Provi’s lower levels. Are they really struggling that much to get kids out for football?


Before COVID, and when I had relatives there, every level had starters, second team, third team, scout team, etc. There were a ton of kids in the program. If the numbers have really dropped that much, it’s a shame to see.

I think everyone is overlooking a very important factor in all of this: the economy.
The cost of living is incredibly high right now, so it’s not realistic to compare today’s situation to the pre-COVID years. While I know there are scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial assistance available, and Providence is often very generous with those resources, the reality is that not every family has $17,000 available to pay out of pocket each year.
Financial aid can help, but it doesn’t eliminate the financial burden for everyone. That’s an important consideration when discussing affordability and accessibility.

Getting back to actual football...I think this result would have been extremely possible even if all the other nonsense at Provi hadn't happened. The timing just feeds the narrative.

It's not like Naz blew them out or Providence gave up.
