I am going to go back to golf because Stonewall is speaking golf often on this thread. It would not kill us if we gave up golf but raising money for golf in the area App is located should be easy. You could literally get each country club in the area to sponsor a golf scholarship. I bet each course...

Not fore sure but when a good Big10 program comes calling with $60k and a scholly… I could easily assume the NIL was a ga tor Do you know for a fact that they were given scholarships and is the 60k verifiable? I mean they were graduate transfers so maybe there were other circumstances that led them...

Just a thought and a question. Not advocating that we drop any programs. If some programs were actually cut other than football, M & W basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and wrestling (and the minimum number of programs was met while still maintaining title 9 numbers) would anyone really n...

Here’s the madness. Two of our top wrestlers hit the portal and got paid….

Do you know that NIL was the motivation to transferring?

G5 will become feeder program for P5 in the NIL era. I don’t think coaches look at that way. They want players that want to play. They aren’t interested in guys looking for cash. Here is an article on Brian Kelly’s approach on transfers. https://blondiewithlove.it/2024/05/08/bl-wlv/RTsd245818LtCu40...

Soccer costs quite a bit more to field than golf and tennis. I’m not arguing that it shouldn’t come back, but at the expense of golf and tennis isn’t a trade off.

ECU makes the list as ODU’s “easiest” game. Ouch!

Is there evidence of collusion? I’m not talking about, “well, look at the disparity.” Is there tangible evidence that these two conferences conspired amongst each other, along with ESPN and FOX to create an unfair equity system among college athletics? Unfair doesn’t mean that a foul has occurred. I...

Seems like the first salvo towards separation. It does and I feel like with all of these teams moving up that there is becoming more and more of a separation in the schools at this level. They feel that Michigan, Georgia, etc do not belong in the same level as Kennesaw State, Sam Houston, Akron, et...

Shelley had one year left on her deal. So you either extend her or part ways,

For a while I felt App’s goal should be to make a New Year 6 Bowl game. Now that things have changed, the goal should be to make the playoff, whether we can win it or not. We can’t win the NCAA tournament but we desperately want to get a bid, so why not feel the same about the football playoff. Don...

We struggle with our outdoor spring sports. Resources, weather, and talent play a hand in that stuff. There is a reason why schools in the south dominate spring sports.

I’ll repeat what I said earlier… LFG!!! Not wishing summer away, but I can’t wait for the 2024 season. GO APPS!! This right here! Ordered season tickets for the first time yesterday. Going to be interesting with a 2.5 year old at a game or two but could not be more excited for this season! Nice. We...

Good leaders rise to the occasion. In a group as large as a football team there is more than 1 guy who has what it takes to lead. Give that young man or men time to grieve and then step up. Easier said than done. Our leaders that stepped up in 2022 were not up to the challenge. Were they really lea...

Josh Pate on his show Late Kick made a great point about the G5... Realistically the G5 has no shot at winning an expanded playoff. At best you win 2 games. So why participate? If that's the case then have a separate playoff based on spending/revenue. Have it run concurrently as the P5 playoff and ...
