I don't think there is a men's rowing. Does anyone have a list of the 31 and how many scholarships are allocated to each?

Just go to BCeagles.com and hover over place where it says "teams"

scholarship count - go to the roster page for each sport and count, I guess

Only 25 listed but I also saw this:

Football: In other football news, former quarterback Patrick Towles continues to train in hopes of extending his career to the NFL. In a recent NFLscout.com report, Towles is considered one of the top sleeper picks in this year's draft.

[westcoastbernie]

Towles will extend his career through OTAs and the first cut down in a training camp if he can throw a bullet out pass to the sidelines. They need arms in training camp to work out the receivers and not burn out the actual QBs. He will be like Chase and land in 2-3 training camps over the next couple of years then go sell insurance or cars somewhere. He literally will have a cup of coffee in the NFL.

I hope the WRs are about 8 feet tall to catch those passes

Can't cut rowing, its a Title IX balancing sport.

Men's swimming doesn't offer scholarships. Most of those men's sports probably offer few or none. I think some of the women's sports aren't even offering the full allotment of scholarships.

[Eaglekeeper]

BC gives out 272 scholarships, 136 for men (85 football 18 hockey, 13 hoops 11.7 baseball 8.3 for soccer and other sports. There is not much to cut. The ACC would not be happy with BC cutting baseball leaving unbalanced divisions and less content for the network.

Some updates from BCEagles.com on 5/25.

Boston College Expands with AstroTurf

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College is upgrading its athletic infrastructure, and they're counting on the help of a trusted partner. AstroTurf® was recently selected to provide four new synthetic turf fields to the school as part of a comprehensive initiative involving multiple sports facilities. AstroTurf already has a significant footprint at BC with several of its playing surfaces installed there over the last decade, including the Newton Campus soccer, lacrosse and field hockey, and Alumni Stadium, home to the BC football team.

Boston College's investment in athletics facilities includes a new recreation center, a field house, and baseball, softball and intramural playing fields on its Brighton Campus. As part of the initiative, AstroTurf will provide cutting edge artificial turf for the field house and the baseball and softball fields, and will resurface Alumni Stadium. When completed, every artificial surface at BC will have come from AstroTurf, now the Exclusive Synthetic Turf Provider of Boston College.

"We're very proud to officially partner with BC, who have been tremendous to work with over the years," said Dave Wheaton, AstroTurf's Regional Vice President of the Northeast Division. "I think it's indicative of the successful relationships we endeavor to build in this region and all over the country."

The new field house breaks ground in May, with a scheduled completion date of summer 2018.

The field house will include 85,000 square feet of AstroTurf's RootZone 3D3 turf system, a premium product that incorporates three different specialized fibers for unmatched durability, performance, and aesthetics. Alumni Stadium will also be resurfaced with the RootZone 3D3 system to match the field house, with installation slated to begin in June.

Construction is underway for the new baseball and softball fields on the Brighton campus. Once installed, both fields will be entirely composed of synthetic turf from AstroTurf's Diamond Series product line, with specific turf systems that accurately emulate the look and feel of the grass and clay portions. All of the elements of the playing surfaces have been engineered for optimal ball bounce, underfoot feel, and durability.

"This is an exciting time for Boston College, and we feel that our new facilities will propel our athletic program well into the next decade" said Matt Conway, Associate AD of Facilities & Operations. "It makes sense that we would enlist AstroTurf to help us realize this vision. The technology behind their products is unrivaled in the market, and over the course of our relationship with AstroTurf we've seen that their commitment to client satisfaction is second to none."

Shit, Eva's kids are going to get cancer from this AstroTurf but maybe the aliens will get them first.

looks like they've made some progress, about half of the baseball field is ripped up

[twballgame9]

Cranking on the Brighton Fields as well.

i had doubts that this thing would be ready for spring ball but they have the support built for one end and out to probably the 20 yard line or so

It'll be a great recruiting tool for our head coach Ryan Day.

I kid. I kid.

I'll be honest, I'm still shocked this thing broke ground already.

Looks like a beautiful day in Boston.

Agreed. I wonder if Eva and her cronies have health issues, you'd think they'd be standing in front of the bulldozer on the first day of constructions to stop this. Maybe all that toxic runoff from Alumni's FieldTurf finally took its toll on her.

there was a post here a few years ago where the school gave the bra like $25k. i think that was their shut up money

Good to see BC finally figure out how to do business in this town.
