A snippet from the F&F podcast with McMenemy regarding the conference move. https://twitter.com/FeathersFGsPod/status/1778767483236732973 I thought the coach made an excellent point about the number of teams in the CAA soccer league (10, I think) being a detriment to the team as conference play...

Maybe the ACC would consider UD as a sixth team.

I hope not but the ASUN may prove to be the only conference to invite UD.

And heading right into regions where the temps will become unbelievably hot, have ncreasinly greater number & severity of destructive storms, and have decreasing supply of potable water. BHB, Some like it hot 19594DCEF290-E508-4A85-8ED5-27C70CE5DDDC.jpeg :lol: Well done, CH. Oooooh, the Earth i...

Power schools with strong alumni bases will remain power schools. We will seen new names added however, now that powerful alumni can legally channel corporate money into NIL. Think Arkansas with Wal-Mart, Tyson Foods and Jerry Jones money flowing freely to players now. Calapari knows exactly what h...

BTW, all the talk about Delaware joining another conference presumes that these conferences are looking to add teams. Most are not. The A10 has a perfect number of six teams. It is perfect because they can schedule all of their out of conference games early and then settle into purely conference pl...

I don''t know. Maybe someone who posts here does but then it becomes a question of whether or not they are allowed to share without betraying a confidence or losing their access.

Why doesn’t the athletic administrators chase bigger affiliations for men’s lacrosse? ACC? Big Ten? Rawak came from the Big Ten…. Even the Big East would be a step up from the CAA. Who says that they haven't tried? You can't force a conference to invite one or more of your teams as affiliates if th...

This was all easily foreseeable. UD moved late and, in effect, they preserved a spot in 1AA level of football. History repeated itself. I support the move up for that reason but it would be a real travesty if the two best programs in the AD (MLAX and FH) end up in worse situations than being in the...

…and FCS will become D2, etc. That is exactly what I am feeling. FCS will need to either move up (G5) or down (D2). Not necessarily. FBS, FCS, Div II, and Div Iii are all based on differing limits on the number of scholarships or no scholarships (i.e. supposedly Div III). That structure could still...

And to think it all started as a friendly competition between competing universities Let’s put together a football team and go play a competitive game on Saturday afternoon. Rivalry between schools was magical Here’s an idea …. Why not give the universities back to the scholars and serious students...

you miss the point entirely and are really on the side of part of the problem. No one is saying they can't earn money at this point, but there is ZERO structure to it. The NFL for example has a salary cap, a slotted rookie pay scale, a free agency period that is limited, etc, etc, etc....It is not ...

The schools - particularly those in the traditional power conferences - are largely responsible for the chaos that now reigns by playing their criminally greedy games for decades. Now, the players and their reps are over-correcting way, way too far. Sadly for fans and supporters, there doesn't seem...

I beieve that the A10 will keep UMass Men's Lax as an affiliate and will not add UD.

Ive been saying it all year long ....our D2 and JUCO pitchers arent cutting it at this level. Crazy that pitching has been problematic year in and year out without anything changing. I thought with Sherm and the old guard going out, we would see change. I know its only been year two with Mams but c...
