UD is more than ready to compete with peers in regard to NIL. These initiatives are under way and the goal is to max out what UD can do for its student athletes and to be as efficient as possible. If you have a business or want to get involved, please PM me and well get you in contact with the righ...

Were we in the last version…or were we in the FCS Land of Misfit Toys? Not sure if we were in all the old ones but we were definitely in NCAA Football 12 because you could add UD to a FBS conference and play as them. Love that we will be in the 26 version. Cannot wait to get it. Will be good exposu...

I think that long term CUSA will be better to be in than the MAC. The MAC is stable but stagnant. No full MAC members have left the conference since 2005 because the MAC members are not getting invited to more prestigious conferences. At least in CUSA there are a good amount of schools that desire t...

Well, well, well…what a foolish thread. UMass…2003, was 8-1 in conference and 10-2 overall in the regular season. Only losses were to FBS Kansas State and to KC Keeler’s Delaware Blue Hens. Safe to say, winning football. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_UMass_Minutemen_football_team UMass home ...

Very excited for the FBS move and getting some higher level competition into Newark. I’m in my mid 30s and live in South Central PA but have not been to a football game in Newark since 2019. I had lost interest in UD football over the years with all of the changes in CAA membership which has led to ...

Thanks for sharing Dan. Very interesting!

Trent playing out of his mind right now!!!! Let’s Go Hens!!!

Does anyone know how the Blue Hen Collective stacks up against the rest of CUSA in NIL? I have heard that the current NIL budget is very small right now for us. In the pay to play NIL environment it is becoming increasingly important to outspend your peers in NIL.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_UMKXA66mM D1 360--Good overview of stats and information on Delaware to CUSA. Fantastic video. Loved all the data presented because I’m a big numbers guy. My biggest take away is that we are going to have to start spending a lot more for football in order to be com...

Oh, ye sleepy of so little faith. My only surprise is that word leaked before spring. This has been a done deal for several weeks. UD and CUSA have been at this since the summer. My son-in-law, who's an administrator in the AD at one of our future conference partners, assured me this was happening ...

I think it is more likely that the College Football playoff expands further past 12 teams. This should give some G5 teams a little more access to the playoffs.

Official announcement is tomorrow. Let’s go!!!!

Football drives the bus. This was purely a football move to go to a FBS conference and the A10 doesn't have football. There are plenty of teams that play basketball in the A-10 and play football in FBS. It can be done. I feel basketball is always the stepchild at UD. A10 is basketball first…look at...

Conference USA is going to be fantastic for UD basketball compared to the CAA in terms of competition. The CAA is currently ranked 25th in conference RPI compared to Conference USA which is 13th.

The ESPN story from Thamel says that UD basketball would be eligible for the postseason in both 2023-24 and 2024-25 after a recent bylaw change in the CAA. Does that mean UD can play in the CAA tourney during some or all of this transition? If this is true, cant wait to read the reactions from the ...
