Western Illinois facilities are a joke, YSU state of the art, small fan base, our fan base much larger, but shrinking quickly. YSU commits so much more to football, yet WIU make the playoffs.
Here is one big reason they made the playoffs at 6-5, their pre conference schedule vs #1 Coastal Carolina and a close loss, and a big win vs #25 Eastern Illinois, both are playoff teams; their money game was Illinois.
YSU continues to schedule stiffs prior to league play and it hurting the program. Had YSU beaten Indiana State, they still would have been left out, zero quality wins, WIU had three quality wins against ranked and playoff teams.
Strollo's philosophy of beating up on Valparasio, Butler, and so on is not a good one. Our program is almost dead, lack of interest, bad conference for fan interest, lack of success.
