Oldscout,
NAIA,
They have a jv so 80+ players. Small Church of Christ school. Coach seems to be a good guy.
School is starting football in attempt to get more students. One of the lower priced private schools around. Also have a law school on campus.
Do you have a specific question? My wife and sister graduated from Faulkner, my wife when it was a 2 year school and my sister after it became 4 year. They were there at the same time, wife was in last 2 year class.

I know some of you noticed...Yes my sister introduced me to my wife. AND YES THEY ARE STILL FRIENDS.
Beautiful, well kept campus in Montgomery. Not in downtown, but campus is located convienently close to about anything a student might need. Faulkner has recently built apartment complexes for upperclassmen. The men's dorms which house the underclassmen were origionally built for occupancy of 3 per room. They now only house two per room, so the dorm rooms are fairly large for two students. The dorm rooms have private baths.
Because it is a church school, rules are fairly strict (as a parent, I really liked that!). Religion is not forced down your throat, but the school seems to have a good christian influence.
Baseball is played in a very competitive conference and region. Two recent conference foes have moved to NCAA Div II. The Faulkner baseball program regularly produces some All-American players and a couple of recent graduates have been drafted. The previous head baseball coach took the team to the NCCAA world series a couple of times and won it in 2001. If I am not mistaken, the current head coach was a pitcher on that team. They were down a little bit this past year, but still managed to win 34 games. I'm not sure if they still hold the distinction, but for the past 4-5 years the Faulkner baseball team had the winningest program of 4 year schools in Alabama (percentage of wins, and number of wins).
BTW, they also have a very exciting basketball program.
