Re: Schedule Updates
Article by Tres about the UD FB schedule changes notes that the 2 games at PSU were scheduled when UD was in FCS. Estimated payout was $400K for 2023 game. UD got $750K for Colorado game which Tres states is likely now a bare minimum. So it wold seem that UD wouldn't come to PSU in 2027 without a s...

It’s ironic as I’m reading this from O’Hare airport…. Obviously Happy Valley is closer - we’re now playing two midwestern Big Ten teams

Re: National Championship Game Lessons
Cuban is an IU alumni. https://heavy.com/sports/college-football/indiana-hoosiers/mark-cuban-nil-funding-historic-cfp-run/ This is why the Big 10 now runs college football. NIL moved college football’s power base north. The traditional SEC school power has shifted - Texas, A&M and Oklahoma will...

The big boys are all operating 2026 at the full 105 scholarship limit. At least the Big Ten, Big XII and SEC have already announced.

Re: Merrimack Game Day
This isn’t anything new for this series. Out of the 45 times they’ve played, 19 of those games have been in Philly. Ask me closer to the fall about this one as PSU is doing quite a heavy roster overhaul between graduation and guys that left. “Iowa State east”?

Re: JMU and their transfer portal
Definitely a combo of another coaching change - Chesney was only there two years I think, and capitalizing on making $. JMU I believe is more well-off NIL wise than UD, but JMU can’t compete with P4 exposure and money.

Re: Fears Confirmed..
Well let’s do some math. 85 full scholarships (assumption) minus 13 scholarship players in the portal (see Jaxhen’s count in The Hatchery under Portal Departures) equals 72. 72 minus 21 scholarship players without eligibility equals 51. 51 plus 19 incoming scholarship freshmen equals 70.

Whether that’s good, bad or “eh” news is debatable.
