Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete.
The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.

Are you sure you are talking about Texas Wesleyan in Ft. Worth? Isn't is a D2 school?

If this team does not get together it will be a long season. The last two games were a disappointment. What Is Texas Wesleyan NIL budget?

The McNeese St. loss didn't concern me nearly as much as this win. This is an NAIA level program at a school where a very large percentage of students are "athletes". This could be a sign of a long season.

Guys, Texas Wesleyan is a small private school in Ft. Worth with 1,900 full time students. Looking at the limited number of sports they have I doubt that more that 15% of them are athletes. I guess that seems like a large percentage based upon their very small enrollment but this is not a "jock" school.

21% according to Copilot.

Texas Wesleyan an “athlete mill”? That’s hilarious. On the level with calling SMU upfront and honest.

Thanks, but look at the sports they are playing.

I think it was already said, but I believe the team wasn't interested in playing this game. The opponent and it getting scheduled so late. You could tell the energy wasn't there.

When have we seen this team be so sloppy with the basketball? I wouldn't overreact to this. W and move on.

Yep, it had trap game written all over it.
