Yeah we have already seen it at Toledo https://www.espn.com/college-sports/news/story?id=4146980

That is a good point catdaddyp. In the transfer world we are in, is there really a reason to keep the Juco separate? At this point they are just another transfer correct?

This part was interesting to me. The NIL recruiting landscape is casting doubt, too, on the value of a scholarship. Multiple Group of Five coaches tell Yahoo Sports that Power Five programs, having hit their NCAA-mandated 85 scholarship limit, are adding players as “walk-ons” with collectives footing the bill for a scholarship through NIL. The NCAA permits at least 30 walk-ons. One Power Five collective director, in fact, acknowledged this trend, telling Yahoo Sports that they often “layer on top” an extra $50-60,000 to cover a walk-on’s tuition, books and fees. “They’ve got to make up what a scholarship covers. I get it. It’s smart,” Chadwell said. “But the NCAA needs to create a rule requiring players to sit out a year if they are not on full academic scholarship.”

This morning on the radio Jason Candle said Toledo wasn't even signing anybody today. They signed all their high school guys on the "early" signing day.

@MarkWiley That was a good interview. Thanks for sharing.

The MAC has always had some unpredictability but now with transfers, I don't know how to assume who is going to be good. Ohio and Toledo are always among the top but both of them are looking for new QB's after the top 2 QBs in the league transferred out. NIU is good every other year. Their game management is horrible so I think it really depends on the week you play them. Eastern Michigan has had some winning seasons but last year was kind of a fraud as they beat bad teams and lost to good teams. All that said, I do agree with GP1. We have to win 5 games in the MAC this year.

David Harvey..... on the Zips folklore of what could of been. Hixon graduated to the NFL and Harvey came in and blew everyone away. I believe he averaged over 20 yrds a catch.

He has an impressive offer list. Friday he has an ov with the Hurricanes. This one would be a steal.

He has been mentioned for every big 18 OC position by their news paper. Most of it seems to be sports writer speculation.

The last 10 years have shown how fast the 2nd or 3rd guy can see playing time.

I thought Zack would of flourished under Moorhead. I hated to see him leave. The article below says he is a grad transfer which is why he is transferring a 2nd time without losing a year. It also mentioned a possible package deal. https://www.si.com/college/georgiatech/football/georgia-tech-qb-zach-gibson-enters-transfer-portal

We are now exactly 2 days away from kickoff and there hasn't been a thread started. Ohio is a 14 pt favorite at 8-3. They have a win over Iowa State this year but loses to San Diego State (3-8) , Northern Illinois, Miami oh.

So disappointed by this. We need meaningful opponents at home every now and then. I was excited to see Kentucky come to Info.

Michigan has pulled their appeal and decided to accept the suspension if the Big 10 ends their investigation. They must of realized BIG had some real dirt on them. I'm wandering what is going to happen to CMU when the NCAA finally ends their investigation. They are an accomplice in the scandle and possibly benefited from cheating them selves.

The announcers haven't been right about much. I'm not sure they even know which team is which. Does make it hard to watch

This would be the exact reason to not go there. You could be looking for another job after a year. The QB you all are thinking of that got hurt and Frye came in and took the job was Nick Sparks.

The officials made this game about them and now it looks rigged

Really don't know how Gathings didn't get flagged over and over. After he baited the Kent player into throwing the ball at him, Gathings went to Joe on the side and said give it to me again. He was motioning that he was in his head. They didn't show it on tv but when he lined up he was waving come get me to the defender and missed the snap of the ball. Undercuffler threw it to his spot but because he was late off the ball he didn't make it there. Also after he scored, the coaches got on him for taunting again. He threw the tire off when they put it on him and started yelling while sitting on the bench. I don't know what got into him but he was on the verge of being a psychotic all game.

The amount of love we got on social media was crazy.

We stayed till the end. Though we kept saying its too late lets leave, after we won, we stayed and watched the band play and celebrated in it.

What a great day! The grass is greener, the coffee is fresher and Kent State still sucks!

The Super Fan that has been traveling the country going to football games will be in attendance tonight... sort of
