  1. Re: NCAA to increase pre-season roster numbers.....

    Just another mechanism to create greater separation between the haves and have nots. One of a long line of policies pushed by the powers that be.

    Re: SoCon Off-season thread - 2023-2024

    Good. They shouldn't be allowed. Why should we? Because others allow it? That's never a good reason. Sometimes being a leader means doing the right thing, even if it's hard to do.
  3. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    I really think they are just trying to sound reasonable and logical, but they just have self interest and ulterior motives at heart.
  4. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    This about sums it up. Good perspective, albeit from an FBS coach. But it probably reflects the feelings of a large proportion of FCS, and lower division coaches.

    Re: AFL-CIO Comes to Hanover

    If that is the way you want to view it. For the vast majority of people, college sports isn't about money or a job. It is an extra curricular activity, not a "job." The monies obtained from the...

    Re: AFL-CIO Comes to Hanover

    There are evil forces afoot bent on agendas that will send college sports into full self destruct mode.
  7. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    I just don't get how some people think sometimes when it comes to this. Why would anyone want to take away the one objective criteria that exists? One totally devoid of the committee politics of...
  8. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    Umm. Yes. Not sure why we need to revisit this over, and over, and over again. I get the argument, but we could also say, if a team couldn't even win their conference, they already proved they...

    Re: SoCon Off-season thread - 2023-2024

    It's really very sad. Unfortunately young people have had incidents like this for a long time. However, it does seem, from my own recollection, that there have been more recently. That may just be...

    Re: SoCon Off-season thread - 2023-2024

    Here is our list. Looks like we are signing 30 or so. Not a bad class. It's really Drayton's first class since he was only partially involved last year during his transition. A few look really...
  11. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    The last few posts all demonstrate that this has NOTHING to do with the law. It all has to do with MONEY. There is no money, or very little in these examples above. Because there is money at the...
  12. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    Boom.

    Now from a common sense aspect...this latest determination made from a political, not a legal position is BS. Not that I carry weight, but I have fairly good common sense, as do most...
  13. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    More like the twilight zone. This borders on the ridiculous. Not making it political here, but this was a political decision, not a legally sound one.

    Re: MEAC Expansion?

    And that's why it won't, can't happen. Not sure why you are so supportive of this path and seemingly are always a cheerleader for it. It's hard for normal people to understand how anyone can see...
  15. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    It is kind of funny that they try to separate the entire NIL/Transfer portal like they were not part and parcel to the same overall effort. They were simply two apparently different issues, but the...

    Re: Transfer Portal Activity

    That is only the current interpretation. If it applies to college athletics then it could apply to any and all amateur sports organizations. The reason it doesn't is just due to money, not the law....
  17. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    Good just another reason to not watch FBS anymore. If the NCAA doesn't take a hold of what remains, then maybe it time to dump them and create a new ruling body. By getting rid of the dead weight,...
  18. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    I'll vote for that. Does my vote count?

    Hah, side note, my great uncle, Lincoln B. Hale (paternal grandmother's brother) and Yale grad, was the President of Evansville College from 1940 to 1954. He was embroiled in a political issue there...

    Re: AGS Poll Results 2023/24 FINAL POLL

    It's just part of a narrative they are trying to push. Play this game in Travelers Rest and it goes to Furman. But that was in your court and you tried to sleepwalk Wofford. I guess the fact that...
  21. Poll: Re: 2023 National Championship: #1 South Dakota State vs #2 Montana

    It was also a home game for SIU. Second consecutive road game for SDSU. Always a factor against better teams.

    Re: FCS Schools without Rivalry Games

    I'm thinking the ones in the SOCON are Samford and Mercer only because they are relatively recent adds and haven't had time to develop any strong rival yet. Real rivalries usually take decades to...

    A trophy is not necessarily a good indicator. I can easily point to The Citadel and Furman rivalry as being leaps and bounds bigger than The Citadel Wofford rivalry listed above. We've actually...

    But this is just the dollar end of it. "Fees" don't attend games or generate excitement on campus, or donate 20-30 years down the road. UMass has 23K+ students. How's that working out for them? A...

    Simply using student body size is not necessarily a good ruler. With schools using Internet students, night students, etc, to come up with a number, it's comparing apples to oranges. Full time, day...
