YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Villanova Game Week!!!
« on: September 05, 2024, 07:57:02 AM »CIMO is right FCS is irrelevant. The problem is all the old school fans think we are still in 90’s. Plus us being in the prairie dog conference destroyed any momentum this program had from those ancient championships. Kids want exposure and want to be D1 athletes. The MAC may be a bottom D1 but for exposure they have way more than 95% of FCS. Now with NIL teams like YSU will lose talent more then they can develop or acquire. I have heard for 20 years how you all said the MAC was done. Lol they are still kicking. Strollo is alot to blame on this. He is a great bean counter but no vision on where of what direction our football team should be. We can’t afford top assistants which was never addressed as long as I can remember. If Phillips doesn’t last you would have to be an idiot to come here without the dollars to get good assistants. Our program is dying a slow death year by year. But hey we are u. FCS and in the MCFC as 4K are. I the stands and we are everyone’s homecoming game. It just pisses me off what could have been and achieved with a different thought process at the top.
I agree Go. I wonder why Coach/Ad/President Tressel let it die. With his political power and influence in Ohio you'd think he save what he created. NIL, and Transfer portal will kill all right with kids wanting to compete in a college Saturday stadium with no aspirations of moving on to the next level.
