  1. I believe the "other sports" section of Zipsnation will blow up now as I think esports is untouched by the MAC shutdown. Go Akron gamers.
  2. I think more efficient use of athletic tape is critical to cost reduction. The athletic department uses huge amounts of tape and discards it after only one use.even though it still has plenty of stickiness. Careful removal of the tape could enable it to be reused numerous times saving thousands of dollars each year.
  3. I don't think Terry realizes that the out of pocket cost of a football scholarship is a small fraction of the total "value" of the scholarship. You aren't going to save football by cutting 20 or so scholarships, and I can't imagine the number of ways schools would invent to circumvent a coaching salary cap.
  4. I'm certain Jack's stiff, frozen corpse sank rather than floated away.
  5. or gone. Apparently his wandering ways started in high school. https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/sports/college/ul/2020/06/02/louisiana-football-former-utep-maryland-qb-bradayden-hawkins-ul-ncaa-transfer-portal/3125793001/
  6. We should have offered all the receivers on this team.
  7. Sounds like Fairmont State knew what they were doing when they offered this guy. Their loss, our gain.
  8. Hey youngster, let me join in on your guessing game. I'm guessing you were either a hall monitor, crossing guard, or both in school and may have watched a football game.
  9. Kumbaya my friend, Kumbaya. Please forgive us child for mentioning his story.
  10. Welcome Traveling Man. Hope you last longer here than you have anywhere else.
  11. Getting bad vibes. I checked out his "complete list of teams" on the 247 link you provided (which I think, but cannot prove, are supplied by the athlete). He has an impressive list of teams that he has no interest in, but his lack of interest may have been influenced by the fact that none of them offered him a scholarship (perhaps because they had never heard of him). .
  12. 2019 Season (Redshirt Freshman) A member of the practice squad in 2019. Prior to Louisiana Committed and played at Maryland for one season before spending last year at Northwest Mississippi Community College. High School Went to Myers Park High School in Charlotte, N.C…Consensus 2 Star By 247 Sports as a senior… Played in the Blue Gray All-American Game… Led Myers Park to a 12-2 record which is the most wins in school history…Broke the single season passing record 3317 yards and single game passing Record 498 yards… Led team to a state championship as a junior finishing with a 13-1 record…All-State and All-Region Selection.
  13. Even stranger, Turner Gill and Kelvin Edwards are returning to Liberty in administrative positions. Seems like Treon is joining 68 black players on the Flames 2020 football roster who apparently have yet to recognize the oppressive attitude that hangs over the Liberty campus like smog over L.A.
  14. Point of order; I was not waiting for this bad news. The good news is the reduction in revenue that will result from limiting Zip football attendance to zero will be minimal.
  15. My favorite opting-out student-athlete demand: half of all sports revenue should be given to the student-athletes. That's a really good idea if your goal is to kill off more football teams than the big boys going to a conference-only schedule.
  16. I hope the future DL has enough depth and talent to be competitive in the MAC.
  17. Both semi-interesting posts, but the question remains - what is the point?
  18. Now that we have that settled, what is the point of having a women's studies program?
  19. I heard the three Michigan schools will play each other three times plus an intrasquad game = 10 games ending whenever they feel like it.
  20. With a 25 player travel limit.
  21. Stetson!!!!!! Really???? Really??????? That''s disappointing. DeLand is a wonderful place to work on your sun tan and you get to play for the 288th rated (KenPom) 295th rated (Sagarin) bball team.
  22. How do you think the baseball team will do this year?
  23. Mt. Union can't hold a candle to Adrian College where about 90% of the students participate in a varsity or club sport. Athletics saved that school.
  24. That's scary. Here is my all football criminal list (restricted to players who made the pros and did jail time). Offense Wide receiver: Irving Fryar Wide receiver: Plaxico Burress Tight end: Aaron Hernandez Running back: Lawrence Phillips Running back: Maurice Clarett Quarterback: Art Schlichter Right tackle: Kevin Allen Left Guard: Nate Newton Honorary captain: O.J. Simpson Dishonorable mention Rae Carruth Cecil Collins Michael Floyd Travis Henry Sam Hurd Mark Ingram Tommy Kane Ryan Leaf Jamal Lewis Derek Loville Kevin Mack Bam Morris Donté Stallworth Michael Vick Stanley Wilson Defense Safety: Darren Sharper Cornerback: Will Allen Cornerback: Dwayne Goodrich Linebacker: Thomas Henderson Linebacker: Ray Lewis Linebacker: Nate Webster Tackle: Josh Brent Tackle: Tank Johnson End: Leonard Little End: Dexter Manley Dishonorable mention Darryl Henley Jimmy Hitchcock Johnny Jolly Saleem Rasheed Robert Rozier Anthony Smith C. J. Spillman Eric Naposki Keith Wright Special teams Punter: Joe Prokop Kicker: Russell Erxleben Kick returner: Dave Meggett Kick returner: Mercury Morris
  25. I don't know if it's the point, but college athletics keeps some youngsters busy and prevents or delays their life of crime.
