I’d assume that they will be bumped out to the sides just like it is now.

Thanks Ohio State! 😂

He should have waited to be member 16

GP1…is there anything that you don’t bitch about??

They will not be at midfield, if they do it they will be outside the hash’s around the 30

Maybe now they can get some lights in the Indoor facility with that money so kids don’t have to practice in the dark

The G5 - Power 5 gap will only get bigger but the Power 5 needs to establish some sort of “salary/NIL cap” so that the Indianas of the world have a chance to compete against the big boys. Then it will revert back to the good ole days and the big boys can cheat under the table again 😂. Did Kentucky cancel on Akron or Akron cancel on Kentucky?

Current line is Akron +50.5….seriously

Sam Hubbard comes to mind but can’t think of one since then - although there probably is somebody?

So your problem isn’t with Akron it’s all of the G5 teams, got it, never play a P5 opponent. So simple, sounds like a great plan

lol, ok so you’re saying Miami doesn’t want to win this year because they are playing Notre Dame, Northwestern and Cincy. And BG doesn’t want to win either because they are playing Penn State and Texas A&M. And Kent State certainly doesn’t want to win either, they’re playing Tennessee, Penn State and Pitt. I guess none of the MAC wants to win…

Well, obviously there is a balance needed for your out of conference schedule and having Ohio State does not help your chances of winning but every MAC team does it. It’s a much needed payday for MAC teams and it’s a reality. Saying that they’re out of conference schedule is tough and saying that this athletic department/football team is not trying to win are two very different things.

I’m sorry, but that is just such a stupid comment. Why in the hell would they not be trying to win?? Please explain to me how not winning would benefit this program

Wow, what a windfall of cash for the program! I wonder what they will do with all of it?

Are you implying that the SBC teams don’t play payday games? If so, you are dead wrong. All G5 teams schedule them.

Did anyone who was at the spring game notice how poorly lit the indoor facility was? So many lights were out in the ceiling that it seemed like they were almost playing in the dark. It’s another alarming sign how much this athletic program must be struggling for cash. So many different teams use that facility, this should be a very high priority for resources.

Often times they have these deals lined up before they hit the portal

Wonder if it was God’s plan? Seriously though, hate to see him go. D1 football has become such a cruel business, nodody has time to develop. If you fall to a certain level on the depth chart it’s chop time and bring on the next.

I think we have a portal kicker coming this summer?

Was really impressed by the whole scene today. Great weather, good crowd and some good football. Loved having the band there too, great atmosphere. Glad they had the pro shop and concessions open also. Football wasn’t perfect but really hard to tell where they are at this point.

lol, well it is a chat/message board, that’s kinda what we do here…discuss things. I don’t care what you do and I’m not judging what kind of parent you are or aren’t. My point is that what they are doing isn’t that different than a traditional spring game and I was curious why you are so adamant about not going. It has nothing to do with you being a parent or not, it’s a general question for anyone so upset about the format. Seems like a non issue to me. And by the way, what type of football are you used to seeing that I’m not??

Uhh, guess what, a “ traditional” spring game is also practice. I’ve never seen the results of those show up in the standings. And by the way, I am letting him parent how he wants, I’m just asking a question. So it’s not ok to ask him to explain his thinking?? Wtf

Ok please explain. It is live football, they will be going full go, blocking, tackling, scoring, etc. It’s live action they just won’t be using some stupid, hard to understand scoring system that many teams use. Are you that concerned that you want to see the blue team win? White team? So many teams do it this way these days. Do what you gotta do but I just don’t get your logic?

You’ll still see live football action, not sure why it’s that big of a deal?
