IF most of the MAC goes along, especially the Ohio-based programs. There are only 2 in-state FCS programs at the moment, Daytona and YSU. And they're in different conferences. Dayton's conference (Pioneer) travels to Florida and California. Youngstown States (MIssouri Valley) travels to three schools in the Dakotas. The closest teams in the OVC are in Kentucky. IF Akron awards the allowed 85 full scholarships for football, they could drop 20 schollys. But wind up with more overnight long distance travel, and the loss of potential bowl revenue. And with the opponents being further away, we would see a drop in visiting team ticket sales. It's a tough call.

I don't think so. The USFL, WLAF/NFL-E, Arena Football, all have tried it. Next up XFL2. Football s just so expensive. The teams have to pay 40-50 players, equip them, fly them to games, put them in hotels, charter buses, training equipment, they have to pull a serious gate from the start to stay afloat. There's an alphabet soup of failed minor and major league football leagues that didn't have to sell spring-time football.

OK who here is surprised? There are rumors that they're going to rename the league the American Polytechnic League. So the league (sorry, "association") runs out of money. IN WEEK TWO. This Dumdum guy offers to invest $250,000,000 in the league over a period of time, if he had a say in the league operations. The league gave him a "say", they made him majority owner of the whole league. Now, he threatens (promises?) to shut it down if the players union doesn't sign a contract with the AAF. In the next two days. You can't make this crap up.

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley. Bedump tissssssss.

Cleveland State is a neighbor, but being in a different athletic conference, it seems we know little about it. What programs are it notable for? How would it fit in with Akron/Kent/YSU/NEO in a more unified state college system?

I cannot find the words to express how I feel without being banned from this forum. Our biggest claim to fame...

Cutting programs/enrollment can't be a positive thing for the Athletic Dept.

That many?

The problem? FG's 14-59 (23.7%) 3PT 4-23 (17.4%) AST 4. FOUR. Four freakin' assists. Blame the refs? Akron was called for 20 fouls. Buffalo? 18 "Where I come from we call that an ass kickin'".

We played Buffalo tough in the regular season. We need to learn how to play in the postseason. #1 hit some %$#&@ %$&#*@# shots!!!

Baseball is undefeated this year.

A quicker more humane death...

Great video quality I'm paying E$PN for...

Say goodnight Poke...

It's hard to blame the refs when we shoot 24% from inside the arc, while the refs are calling fouls on players who aren't even there yet.

One more reason to dislike E$PN+, you can't channel surf during commercial$.

Down by 17 and we're running the clock down.

Groce is mad about THAT call? Did he just show up?

Hey we're within 20 now.

Utomi is about to escape the rest this mess. One more foul...

How tall are they?

Shooting a combined 1 for 13 from the field is not going to do much against Buffalo...

2 straight TO's

Buff 10-6 with 14 left in the first half
