Toledo always dissolves in the MAC tournament its just a matter of when.
-
The zips overachieved once again JG is an excellent coach.Hopefully next season he can get some more athletic guard height to transfer in? Way to small to seriously compete.
-
Tribble can’t dribble because he plays like a six foot one power forward.
-
Not that bad of a loss considering the Zips are down three players.I’m a bit concerned about some of the players development and the recruiting of talented height.

At the Georgetown vs Butler game.Ali Ali is the first one that subs in off the bench. He still has a nice stroke from three and receives a good amount of playing time. -
Especially the special teams coordinator.
-
The defense and special teams are challenged.
-
It’s going too take about 3 to 4 more years before there’s any serious improvement with this program.I’m not surprised by the outcome they played like this all year long.
-
There’s eight to eleven shooters on the team but most of them are undersized except sammy.
-
The zips need to recruit some height.
-
I think not playing is good thing.The football team needs extra time for practice so can figure out how win a game.

Grandma, The one thing that could unravel the MAC is money -- but that's also one of the reasons it currently fits so well. For a MAC school looking elsewhere, the only sensible alternatives are the AAC or C-USA, which is a minimal upgrade in football, but you have to consider all sports. It's cool to play football at Cincy or Houston, but that also means you're flying the golf team to UCF or the soccer team to Tulsa. The MAC is a bus league now, and that's very, very valuable to fragile bottom lines. Even so, Toledo is the only MAC school that earns 50% what it spends. They're all bleeding money, always. MAC schools are HUGELY reliant on student fees, and as the cost of business keeps going up (cost of attendance, facilities, salaries, extra positions), they're going to have a harder and harder time milking tuition money to keep up, and big donors are few in this league. There is a scenario in which dominoes in the MAC start falling because the league (foolishly, IMO) values football so much. EMU loses boatloads of money to suck every year, and faculty/students have long been pissed. Akron as a university is in deep crap financially and a lot of people give partial blame (fairly or unfairly) to their giant, empty football stadium. Kent is going to have a hell of a time ever being good at football. Ohio has been bad for most of its history; Buffalo geographically could fit into a new league if it senses troubled waters. Who knows what happens, but the MAC has been spending above its bankroll for a while and it keeps getting worse. There might be a tipping point where a few schools say to hell with playing FBS.
