Re: UMass to the MAC

Yes, but jd says that has been upped to $3 million. Inflation is hitting everywhere. :lol: If WKU does depart, I wonder if CUSA wouldn't go on a full court press to rope in current FCS rumored schools of interest like Missouri St., Eastern Kentucky, Tarleton St., etc.? https://www.news-leader.com/s...

Re: CFP Approves 5+7 Playoff Format

On the subject of recruiting, I’ve seen some stories reporting that the pool of HS football players is not growing but continues to shrink over the past few decades. Just slightly less kids playing HS football today than decades past Meanwhile, the number of teams moving up to FBS continues to grow,...

Re: Spring Game Info - April 19

Why limit spring practices to media and fans. Its a good chance to hype the program and get fans excited for the fall. Do we really implement that many new things in the spring especially with the same coordinators. Carty was spotted at HD yesterday loading up on a case of WD-40 to try to fix the “...

Re: UMass to the MAC

On top of the standard $3.0m exit fee. Or would they get the same $1.75M exit fee deal that Marshall, USM & ODU paid out? That amount was correct in 2022, but I was told it's gone up to $3m and that took place in 2023 when the GOR went into effect. When is Delaware officially in CUSA? Rumors an...

Re: UMass to the MAC

From one of the articles linked above “Conference USA is as transitory of a conference as there is in college football, while the MAC has been about as stable as any conference throughout history. Standing at 10 teams for the 2024 season, the CUSA is the smallest conference in the FBS— but it has h...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

Ahhhh…a Z-Daddy reference…the clown who fired Keeler and then did his exhausting 5-minute search for a replacement that brought us the first of the disastrous Brocco twins. Helluva thing…to start us looking toward our road to FBS by first trashing our football program and dragging us into the Lost ...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

I'm not sure how you'd call an obvious decision more than 20 years in the making "rushed", but I understand how it could seem that way if you choose to narrow your perspective to the last year or two or weren't aware of what was happening behind the scenes. UD has been speaking with CUSA ...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

This is also another potential twist, and why we could not get certain schools to come here even on two for one because their conference won’t even allow it. Why does it feel like G5 (whatever that is) is being treated like the old 1-AA ? Just look at your new back to the Future Conference … that’s...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

NOT ashamed of our fcs history at all. Just seen too many fans use an "FCS past" as a "slight" or "put-down". This change will be a fresh start for UD. Enjoy it! Embrace it! Talking about leaving CUSA--way too premature IMO. Rumors flying that W Kentucky is headed to t...

Re: Charleston

The very long version of “it’s the fans”. UD just did something very bold by announcing the move to FBS. The need to keep the momentum going. Blaming the fans for slow walking the NEZ would be the business as usual from UD I thought was in the process of being abandoned. Just friggen get it done. T...

Re: Charleston

Don’t have much to say about our team. What I will say is that it was an absolute treat to watch Charleston tonight. What a well coached, well oiled machine. Coach, Let me ask you If MI had Charlestons roster, would Charleston be as good as that well oiled machine right now? If the answer is no, is...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

Love to see Temple replace Nova. UMD would also be nice, if UD could get a 2 Road & 1 Home deal set up. Didn't VT do that with ODU? They currently have a 13 game series going on, with 6 scheduled at ODU. Though there’s been rumors that VA Tech may buy out the ODU home games from what I’ve seen ...
