Rutgers opts not to eat big salary money for Schiano & staff, bringing him back next year despite consecutive losing seasons. "Schiano's contract runs through the 2029 season, and he would have been owed $18.6 million if he had been fired this year. The cost for the entire staff to be dismissed would have been close to $28 million." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50446834/deion-sanders-says-blame-colorado-3-6-season-solely-him Another topic discussed is whether (P4) conferences are no longer needed if the playoff goes to 24 teams and there are no more conference championship games.

I haven't priced plane tickets just lately but it shouldn't be too hard or expensive to do both. You can get a direct round trip to Vegas from most airports on most carriers and then it's a relatively short round trip to Fort Collins. I did a similar trip in 2024 to visit family on the west coast with brief stayovers in LV coming and going. Although I've never been to the UNLV campus so it would have been fun to attend a game there.

I think too many spring graduations would derail that, especially at smaller schools where academic programming is on a tighter schedule.

Toledo barely beat Sac State 20-17 last night. OU-UB-Toledo-WMU are in the drivers seats.

FIFY..

Mike Locksley out at Maryland, he is owed ~$10M Dave Doeren out at NC State, he is owed ~$10M Dave Aranda out at Baylor, he is owed ~$12M Mike Norvell out at FSU, he is owed ~$50M Phil Longo out at Sam Houston State, he is owed ~$2.8M ??? out at ???, he is owed ~$0.5M

Sarcasm noted, however 7-5 at best backed us into an East Division win and the shot at a miracle-finish MACC. To be nationally relevant in the MAC would require more like a 10-2 record.

Yup. Sac State has double the wins as us. On the bright side, Tim Albin may become available.

out of curiosity, how loud was the PA system at Kent (compared to Akron?) Asking for a grandpa friend..

Not sure where to put this so I'll dredge up a little nostalgia. I just saw where the Toledo Blade newspaper, print and digital, is shutting down at year end unless a new owner is found.

IDK but we have the perfect interim in J.D. Brookhart.

All of the G6 conferences play some weeknight games, starting at the beginning of the season. This is at the pleasure of the university administrations, to whom the ADs report. If anything, it's better for us to have them at the end of the season when the weather gets worse and attendance will be affected regardless.
