Let's talk numbers. What are the football cost savings in dropping down? Coaches salaries, scholarships, maybe less travel (I find it hard to see less travel than the MAC in any level really).. What else am I missing here.. The stadium and the debt service costs ain't going anywhere. Do those cost savings of maybe 2 million make up for losing buy games, TV revenue and the sponsors we'll lose? I just am unsure if dropping down a level is some magic wand.

Please no

Potentially is quite the qualifier lol

52 would assume everyone leaves each year. So since you asked..

Unless it's mutually agreed to there's a buyout. I don't think we'd get $0 if the bigger schools are making that decision on their own

Shh @akronzips71 might hear you

Coach Duggs would never

I'd probably date myself if I could too

The stars aren't aligning for you

I think we're the only conference left that does it. About time

probably means no divisions

"Talk." Also that doesn't include JUCO and transfers which I assume we're looking at for a forward spot. Anyway it was late in the game when the dead period happened a month ago too.

Seems a little late in the game to have two open schollies

Yeah part of that is on them. I know a good amount of coaches have a policy that once you're in the portal, there's no coming back. I'd hope Groce has the same policy to avoid that situation

i'm happy he's staying in the MAC but sure I still fault him. He held his program in purgatory, not being able to recruit his spot by not knowing if there was a spot or not.

Good stuff

Is Gonzaga the Dayton of the West?

I thought he had an Ivey-like game watching his highlights. Athletic kid that's for sure

3 years of eligibility

A lot of coaches have a certain tweet they'll send when a recruit commits. I'm wondering if that's what this is? Or Groce is just a big Pens fan watching the 2009 Stanley Cup reruns on ATTSN. Probably more likely to be the former

If football season happens then nothing will change

might be some senior transfers out there. Schools don't have the give the same aid they gave this year so some may be on their way out if the money doesn't work out

Yeah that's BS. Everyone is sitting on their asses at home, get on a video call and talk to some people.
