Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

Can we still participate in FCS playoffs in 2024? NOPE In fact, if mama has ever wanted to take a post-Thanksgiving cruise or visit the Christmas markets in Germany, 2024 and 2025 are your years to get that done. No FCS playoffs in 2024. No bowl game in 2025. The rule change to 5-7 teams being bowl...

Re: UMass to the MAC

then the new Delaware Stadium north end zone money should be there without donations, yes? I have heard that we only have enough money right now to pursue NIL effectively OR pursue the stadium upgrades. We do not have enough money to do both right now. It will be interesting to see which way we go....

Re: UMass to the MAC

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...

https://temple-news.com/the-outcome-is-the-outcome-temple-athletics-struggles-to-financially-adapt/ Interesting article. Thanks for posting Bobby. I suspect raising significant NIL money year in and year out will be a struggle for most G5 schools. I'm sure a few will be carried by a handful of suga...

Re: UMass to the MAC

Yes but the big boys will pay big boys big dollars just to come sit on the bench … finding good lineman is becoming the equivalent of finding the missing Malaysian airliner All relative CH. We aren't competing against the Big Boys-- we are competing against G5. We should go after the best of what's...

Re: UMass to the MAC

What happens when a big booster pays a shitload of money to a kid that just can't play? Does the coach sit him? How about when NIL recipients get hurt? Are the boosters buying insurance to cover this? I would also imagine that with NIL money, a lot of redshirting goes out the window. What if the ki...

HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — The Dartmouth men’s basketball team voted to unionize Tuesday in an unprecedented step toward forming the first labor union for college athletes and another blow to the NCAA’s deteriorating amateur business model. https://apnews.com/article/dartmouth-union-ncaa-basketball-player...

Excited about playing you guys. This will give me a reason to justify to my wife traveling to an away game in Newark.
Got a good reason …… haha

You are right, Henny!
Good one!

Re: UMass to the MAC

Did you guys sign the CUSA GOR? Seems like Carribean Man has implied no on page 2 with a Joe fan credibility rating of slim to none. I just saw some new talk about Delaware to the MAC which didn’t make sense I reminded these rumor mongers that Delaware has already committed to CUSA….and was told th...

Re: UMass to the MAC

I seriously doubt NC A&T has the resources to compete in CUSA. It's highly questionable whether or not they can do so even in the Coastal. I love the idea of competing against HBCUs, but wouldn't Southern, Jackson St., Grambling, or FAMU be better able to compete at the FBS level? Yes and I’ve ...

Re: UMass to the MAC

Yes, but jd says that has been upped to $3 million. Inflation is hitting everywhere. :lol: If WKU does depart, I wonder if CUSA wouldn't go on a full court press to rope in current FCS rumored schools of interest like Missouri St., Eastern Kentucky, Tarleton St., etc.? https://www.news-leader.com/s...

Re: CFP Approves 5+7 Playoff Format

On the subject of recruiting, I’ve seen some stories reporting that the pool of HS football players is not growing but continues to shrink over the past few decades. Just slightly less kids playing HS football today than decades past Meanwhile, the number of teams moving up to FBS continues to grow,...

Re: Spring Game Info - April 19

Why limit spring practices to media and fans. Its a good chance to hype the program and get fans excited for the fall. Do we really implement that many new things in the spring especially with the same coordinators. Carty was spotted at HD yesterday loading up on a case of WD-40 to try to fix the “...
