So they're already placing an over/under on the halftime score? Or is that number referencing the value, in millions of dollars, that each team would need in order to match the other's NIL fund? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a podcast the other week previewing the Zips for another team and mentioned I’ve never seen a team play 13 one score games over two seasons - and only win 3 of them. One of the hosts couldn’t believe Zips played a total of 7 overtimes last year. We need to be on the winning side of more of those games this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking closer to $2M. I'm taking the 50.5 points... I'm such a homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I was their target audience, degenerate gambler, I might have more interest. At least they get two, two minute warnings so they can add another five minutes into the marathon of watching a game now. It's all so gross. I'm not kidding when I say this.... They aren't trying to win, and those who go to games are having their money stolen from them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I don't find the schedule to be all that brutal. If we were a good team by MAC standards we'd be able to compete with both Rutgers and South Carolina. The problem is we're not a good team by MAC standards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, obviously there is a balance needed for your out of conference schedule and having Ohio State does not help your chances of winning but every MAC team does it. It’s a much needed payday for MAC teams and it’s a reality. Saying that they’re out of conference schedule is tough and saying that this athletic department/football team is not trying to win are two very different things.

Game 1 is my evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a good thing to examine would be how often scheduling incompetency happens. In recent history, how many MAC teams have been given the opportunity to replace a P5 school, with two already on the schedule, and have chosen another P5 school? If so, how many were replaced with Top 5 teams? Edited May 31 by GP1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is no lol, ok so you’re saying Miami doesn’t want to win this year because they are playing Notre Dame, Northwestern and Cincy. And BG doesn’t want to win either because they are playing Penn State and Texas A&M. And Kent State certainly doesn’t want to win either, they’re playing Tennessee, Penn State and Pitt. I guess none of the MAC wants to win… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an exciting schedule for a competitive team. We saw last season that our defense can keep us in games with both Indiana and Kentucky. If Finley plays well, who's to say we aren't competitive in the games vs Rutgers & SC? Ohio State is what it is - thank you for the pay day.

So simple, sounds like a great plan I don't know about his, but my problem is comparing every situation as if it is the same. The majority of the MAC isn't nearly as bad as we are. Miami can go 1-3 and be fine in the long run. Akron can't. Akron's program is in a horrible state and needs to start winning. Picking up OSU after Kentucky dropping Akron missed a chance at getting a win through smart scheduling. It does nothing to build a winning culture. If it isn't a sign the AD values money over winning, I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
