Re: Meeting on College Sports Crisis.

UM announced last night that they had "reached and agreement" with PG Elliot Cadeau for him to return for the 2026 season. Sure sounds like a professional to me no The thing is though the players don’t (or shouldn’t) want this to change. The schools have far more resources, if they become...

Re: Meeting on College Sports Crisis.

What kind of deal would Ohio State or Alabama possibly accept that shares anything with us? I don’t think any of this keeps the MAC “fine”. The only loss of power the Big Ten and SEC will experience is when Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Texas decide they don’t...

Re: Meeting on College Sports Crisis.

I often wonder if BGSU leadership in general has any idea what kind of circumstances trying to keep the football program in the FBS Group of 5 will have for the existence of the school itself. It exists in a state that is trending older, losing population in younger demographics, in a political cli...

Re: 2026 Offseason

Been some online rumblings/a story in the Detroit News speculating Todd Simon as a possible candidate for the WMU opening. Kalamazoo is opening a new downtown events center in 2027 which will host WMU hockey and basketball. Their Bronco Athletic Fund has really paid dividends in regards to increasi...

Re: Frack money

That’s a really good question. It is probably the worst possible time to have an AD who is so singularly focused and dug in on football. I think even the biggest diehard football fans would admit the math doesn’t add up. Plus, the product itself has gotten much worse. Kent and Akron have made the s...

Re: Frack money

My biggest problem with the Athletic Department, essentially since Paul Krebs left is that we seem to hire the same profile of person over and over. What is the appreciable, professional difference between Christopher, Kingston, Moosebrugger & DVDM? The overarching conversation in each search wa...

Todd Walker sounds exactly like I would expect a man who has watched every BGSU football and men’s basketball over the past 20 years…dead inside.

Re: MAC QUARTERFINALS: vs. Toledo (3/12)

Well, on to next year. Counting on officiating is a terrible strategy. We have to get guys that are constant three point threats. We had some, we need more. More importantly, we need to run an actual half court offense that gets those guys open shots. And we have to take them...a lot more of them. ...

Re: 2026 Transfer Portal

MAC football and NIL at this level is just lighting peoples money on fire. Take regular students money in fees take donors money and just light it on fire. I’d say breeding cats has a better outlook at this point financially. Agree 100%. It is getting embarrassing that we are trying to compete in F...

Re: 2024-25 Offseason

I think the issue with any FCS discussion is what does it solve/accomplish. I 100% believe that the MAC belongs in FCS based on things like budgets, on field competition, etc. I don't see any way we can hope to compete in the new FBS landscape where you're committing millions of dollars to player N...

Re: 2025 Basketball Portal

The fact of the matter is that men's basketball is essentially third on the totem pole in our athletic dept. Football and hockey reign above. Most of those schools don't have a hockey team to support as well. A10 teams with FCS or no football can go all-in on men's basketball. Akron and Toledo have...
