WIU & Spoon River Tie the Knot?

Miscellaneous discussions. Things that don't have anything to do with Western, Leatherneck Athletics, college sports in general, etc.

The Nikko Watson situation got me thinking about something I think I mentioned on here before. My niece is starting at Texas State University this fall enrolled in what they call the Pathway Program. This is sort of a dual enrollment thing the first two years of college as she stays on the main TSU campus, takes a course or two there, and has all the privileges of being as student there. She also takes a couple or three courses at the nearby Austin Community College. Granted, Macomb is more of a satellite campus for Spoon River, but it still seems like a good opportunity to increase the on-campus numbers. For many students, this may provide a better transition from high school to the rigors of college. I was going to run this by @StudentPres in Madison but did not have an opportunity to catch his ear.

Western has an on-going agreement with Spoon River College where Spoon River students can live in the Western residence halls.

Not exactly a "tie the knot" arrangement, more like "friends with benefits". I would like to see some academic overlap. Does anyone know how many SRC students are taking advantage of this? Do they get free admission to athletic events?
