Kent State has to be the most overhyped 3-win team to ever exist. I'm so sick of hearing about this apparently miraculous program turnaround. I hope we kick their bird teeth in.

Does this imply that St John's can't qualify on a tiebreaker?

Imagine having the biggest NIL budget in the conference and having by far the worst team. Oof

You know, I'd feel a lot better if this game was at home 😂 but I'm confident in the team to get it done!

For what it's worth, and it might have always been this way, but the Fear the Roo Collective has an option to contribute to football.

Oh Akron doesn't have much trouble distributing the $0.

Wow, that’s amazing. They will not be a MAC doormat for long if those numbers are correct. As far as I know Akron has zero NIL money. Makes you wonder how they distribute that? I assume that QB’s would get the biggest share of the pie but are all starters getting something? Just for the sake of argument if you are dividing that among 22 starters that’s over $90,000 per kid. Is that paid annually?

On Sirius, Full Ride. Rick Neuheisel and Amal Shah were just ripping Kent for their clock management.

Not to compare Akron to the University of Pitt NIL money wise, but I know that the back up offensive linemen at Pitt get paid 100k and the starting qb for the season got an NIL deal of 1.8 mil prior to the season. He is now the backup and will most likely be looking elsewhere come portal time after how well the true freshman is doing. I can't imagine what the true freshman is going to get paid to stay there. But this is UMASS........... UMass has allocated a significant NIL budget of approximately $2 million for its 2025 football roster, a figure that is expected to grow to $3 million by 2026. This money is guaranteed and is intended to help the football team compete, with the university making tangible moves to support it. Budget: The team had a NIL budget of roughly $2 million for 2025. Future Projections: The NIL budget is projected to increase to $3 million in 2026. Funding: This is a guaranteed budget, not just a target, and is a major part of the university's strategy for competing in football. Comparison: This $2 million budget was noted as being the highest in the MAC conference for 2025. Just copied that today....

I'm pretty sure they won't, unfortunately.

I checked out Creighton's presser. They are focused on gaining some revenge tonight. Weather is great right now; should be no factor for the match. My wife and I are making the 2 hour drive to Omaha; hope to see a few other Zips there.

I'm obviously an avid Zips basketball fan. That said, if I had a son who was gifted enough to play D1 basketball and was on the Zips and some school came offering him that kind of money, I would be the one packing his bags. That's life altering money at a young age. Assuming he's not stupid with managing it.

Josiah Harris started. 4 points and 14 rebounds.

I heard $1.6M with multiple teams in the mix.

I don't know how accurate it was and don't remember who posted it, but someone here posted he got ~1 million.

If we get to 6-6, I’m expecting some donors to start chipping in. If multiple years of improving the program can’t motivate people to support it so that we at least have the ability to retain some talent, what’s the point?

Coming off a buzzer beater loss at Loyola (IL), who subsequently lost to Mercyhurst at home by 8 the other night (Mercyhurst is in their second season as a DI program), Cleveland State survives a scare from DIII Capital. They play Northwestern on Monday before traveling to Portage County on the 15th. Will be a decent litmus test to see where PCCC is at.

What do we think he’s making at K State?

From the articles you shared it sounds like the program is in a rebuilding year. Their top player transferred to Florida and their second best player is sitting out this season. They're going to be relying on a lot of players who are either incoming or only played ~10 minutes/game last year.

It's tough to get a feel for Princeton given all of the movement in the program in the off-season and the fact that this game will be their opener. I sure hope the fans show up for this one. We don't get that many solid mid-majors in here so we need to show up when we get one.

I have a GA ticket available for this game. PM me if you would like it. Go Zips! Edit: Ticket has been claimed.

IT'S 2002 AND KENT STATE STILL SUCKS!
