    Re: Rebirth of California football?

    One wonders how long before it's dropped at more public colleges in CA, not to mention at the high school level? It is going to happen.

    Re: FCS over FBS Scalp Watch 2024

    Yeah it depends on how many time zones, time of travel, schedule once there, distractions, etc. But I always found "recovered to function" vs "recovered to excel" can be different. Going west is...
  3. Re: FCS programs are among the least subsidized in all of Division I

    In a round about way yes, possibly. And you can't compare school to school necessarily, especially from different states. You have to compare two different scenarios at the same school. Costs in...
  4. Re: FCS programs are among the least subsidized in all of Division I

    I know right. But whether they did or not, this money was obviously given by the state for use by the school. They would probably get the same overall amount of money in any event. So in the end...
  5. Re: FCS programs are among the least subsidized in all of Division I

    What you don't understand is how accounting and money can simply be labeled and drawn from various pots to cover how things are being paid for. Money spent on athletics "could" have gone to lower...
  6. Re: FCS programs are among the least subsidized in all of Division I

    Yeah. Charge "X" more for tuition than needed. Or anything like room and board. School gives "X" less, from other sources, to tuition requirements or whatever. School then gives that "X" to...

    Re: FCS over FBS Scalp Watch 2024

    Yeah but having traveled across too many times zones for years, you never really feel 100% even after 4 days. I got used to it, but most of these youngsters won't.

    Re: FCS over FBS Scalp Watch 2024

    Surprised nobody spotted Northern Iowa at Hawaii yet. Hawaii has escaped a few scalps recently. They are primed to be scalped by a decent team. Hawaii's twelfth man, the time change, is the biggest...
  9. Re: FCS programs are among the least subsidized in all of Division I

    As with all statistics, anyone can slice and dice numbers, use creative math, or come up with creative definitions to show what they want. Headline aside, articles like these aren't usually worth...
  10. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  16. 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...
  17. 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...
  20. 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...
  21. 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...
  22. 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...
  24. 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....
