We just can't get out of our own f-ing way! We haven't caught a break in weeks.

[BUTCH1991]

Maybe next year

Cue the fat lady

[Stonewall]

When I saw one of our coaches struggling to stay awake in the dugout I knew we were in trouble.

[BUTCH1991]

Appsolutely pathetic.

[ViewCrew87]

Expensive trip. Just take the top 8.

[Appmountaineers19]

Maybe next year

Hopefully they show improvement. A LOT of moving parts going to be sorted out in the next couple of weeks. Just gonna need to curb the conference title and ALB talk for awhile. Let's get back to being MID as the young kids say. Might get worse before it gets better.

-App State Athletics new slogan.

Give up a CG two-hit shutout to a guy who hadn't gone more than 5 innings in an outing all year to end the season.

Lost 14 of our last 16 games.

Something needs to change. It goes beyond injuries and delves into tactics and effort.

[311neers]

We’ve got options based on current contract.

Kermit needs to raise a substantial amount of money to try and keep the kids worth keeping, and hire some new ones.

Problem is both scholarship #'s must rise plus NIL money. They team needs between 300-500k to make a dent. (not including coaching salary upgrades) That's per year. It's been talk about at nausea but I just don't know where the money will come from.

With that said, is it too soon to grade the athletic department? My overall grade would be a D+.

There is no NIL , it’s revenue sharing. Basketball raised their own last year As I recall. It’s up to KS to make it happen.

The athletic department needs to help whoever the coach is out.

Correct there will be revenue sharing but that's based of how much the AD brings in (ticket sales/concessions/etc.) and the players get a percentage which is determined by the school. He still needed to raise $ for NIL this year
Many school are focusing on FB and the BB's while the rest of the sports are getting a small percentage.

I'm willing to say there wii be very little money from RS going to baseball. Now he does need to find a way to increase NIL which is up to him and school.

Revenue sharing doesn't start till 7/25

This is a horseS**T comment --- no responsibility to the AD? Rev sharing has NOT started yet, NIL is always here.

House Settlement litigation is still on going. AD didn't even know what a Batters eye was in 2015, KS had to school DG on it to help the team hit better, like many HC's that have been through that place and taught DG about sports that he is clueless on.

At what point does he start taking blame?? He is now firing his own hires.... Kermit, McClean, Kerns about only ones left to push out.

Yawn…

To clarify, G5 programs with few exceptions, have athletes that can sell their name , image and likeness, for a significant amount of money. Outside of a cheeseburger at the Cardinal I can’t think of an example where any of our athletes made a buck by endorsing a product or business. They have and are being paid currently by funds contributed to “ collectives” under the guise of name , image and likeness but they aren’t making Chevy commercials. Point being “ NIL” isn’t really “NIL” . Going forward the school anticipates paying athletes directly from a pool of money generated by revenue brought in through sales and contributions. As I understand it , the collectives , if they continue to exist, will make contributions to the revenue pool from which the players will be paid. Any endorsements will fall outside of purview of the University. The target is to have $2,000,000 in payroll. You are correct in that it is not up and running in the current athletic year which ends next month. However my comments are regarding things going forward. I suspect and would hope that money garnered by the particular sports due to their own fundraising efforts would be credited back to them. As to the overall distribution of revenue sharing between our sports , I believe you to also be correct. Again , hence the need for them to fund raise for their teams.

How will the potential monies gained from state revenues collected thru sports betting be spent?
