kreed5120 Posted March 25, 2024 Report Share Posted March 25, 2024 (edited) The UMass poster (Steve) who occasionally drops in here mentioned that the UMass collective has different tiers and that entry starts as low as $10/mo. If Akron had something like that, I wouldn't be opposed to contributing. Obviously it doesn't amount to much unless you have several very large donors or thousands of small ones.

Illini Zip Posted March 25, 2024 Report Share Posted March 25, 2024 If I'm using my trusty calculator correctly, 39 transfers equals 25% of the MAC scholarships from last year are in the portal. Ugh!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the big from NIU, Klaus Schwab Niedenhouser von Trapp or something. I'd LOVE to see SDSU's William Kyle III in the blue & gold. I've been following him all week seeing if he'd enter and today he did. 🙏🙏🙏 NIU's Coit still not in the portal. I wanna see another LCJIII/X2.0-esque PG running the show. But I do get not wanting to poach from our own conference. Given the choice I would prefer to not cannibalize the MAC. Hopefully everyone in the conference (excluding KSUcks) can land some nice, exciting-to-watch talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 25, 2024 Report Share Posted March 25, 2024 I understand that the portal is just the way collegiate sports are going, but such a high percentage of the MAC's better talent entering the portal is a bad look for the conference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo and Kent have no problem doing it. It wouldn't make sense to handicap ourselves against our competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players are already in the portal. If a MAC team doesn't take the good ones, they go to a different conference. How is that cannibalizing the MAC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippy87 Posted March 26, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2024 I updated the original post with who is in and out for each school so far along with names we've seen tied to the Zips. Let me know if I'm missing anyone! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
