oooh I see 😂😂

Going from 0 votes to unranked is a good bit of respect actually

What expenses do you cut that exceed the revenues we'll forgo?

What does dropping to FCS accomplish money wise? The stadium debt is still there. Save a few hundred grand a year on salaries?

Scholarships are a paper expense. Money from one pocket to the other

Zero threat*

iirc, that wasn't an option for a team wanting to play FBS in 2009

Everything about college athletics is a first world problem. If we're nitpicking, let's just pack it up and go D3

If I bet Akron, they covered. You're wrong, it's not a big deal

If OSU doesn't cover, that means Akron did

The same amount of QBs are still playing football. We can get good players if we do it the right way. Winning some games would help

Where did the good backups go?

Thank you

Browns are a lot cheaper

Hell yeah Captain. Good stuff. Thank you

BG being good at basketball prediction - a tale as old as time

Toledo, UB, Kent, OU, CMU, NIU, Balls 2X apiece. Only travel gripe would be @ NIU then @ Kent 4 days later. Seems fine enough

The schedule is okay for us, let's say more interested, fans. I don't think it does anything for casual fans or STHs. All in all there is solid competition. It's just a shame to not be in a good tournament or have any big names outside of St Marys, who is like the smallest "big name" there is. Nothing appealing at home. Hopefully we get Princeton next year. Some good mid major matchups, a nice opportunity @ St Marys, it's okay.

This is how you know it's almost Akron football season

We've never won any of these road P5 games (actually one at Miss St iirc), you guys act like we're Gonzaga. These teams aren't scared of hosting Akron. In 2023: Kent played at Oregon Cornell played at Syracuse Chattanooga and NM State played at Louisville Toledo played at WVU Wright State and Morehead St played at Indiana Before last year, we've played at Pitt, OSU, Louisville, WVU, Nevada, Dayton, Miss St, South Carolina etc.. We didn't become some top ten team since then I don't think. These game are out there, Groce doesn't want to schedule them. And that's fine, but these blue bloods aren't scared of us.

I find that very hard to believe. The first school that I could think of in a similar situation and even better as a program is JMU. They're playing at Wake 12/17. Groce doesn't want to schedule a road P5 game, and while it's disappointing as a fan, he feels it's best for this team. And he knows better than I do

I mean we did before. Almost won at Louisville, should have won at OSU. For whatever reason, Groce thinks this is the best schedule for this team.
