YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU and the MAC

I totally agree.   We need to take up the offer if we are invited to the Mac.  Makes sense and even I lost interest in FCS football as of the past few years.   I think with expanded scholarships we can compete with any MAC school in football and basketball.   Just think of the local kids going to the other MAC schools.  We would eliminate that.  Fcs will no longer  exist in about 5 years.

What’s IRRELEVANT is FCS Football.  What’s Irrelevant is what has happened to the football program playing in a conference that the best we will ever finish is 3rd and once every 10 years maybe 2nd.  We either need to step up or drop down.  Staying where we are only destroys what little fan base we have.

FCS is literally irrelevant. Think what you want but MAC would be much better.

Rather play for a meaningless bowl game and against local rivals with slim possibility every 20 years to maybe go 11-1 or 12-0 and maybe get lucky in an expanded playoff then play in FCS that literally nobody knows or cares about.

It made sense 30 years and it still makes more sense today.  The MAC schools athletic budgets may be similar to YSU'S in the near future.  Ohio has had the largest college enrollment drop in the country.  The cuts for  the MAC schools will surely include athletics.  I'm sure President Johnson sees no benefit to the current league affiliation just like the rest of us.  Cleveland State our ONLY natural rival in the Horizon league is also in big trouble .  The MAC probably feels like they need to expand to stay relevant if thats even possible.  Maybe an invite would make us relevant again. Otherwise we may be done if we aren't already.

Ah, the internet at its worst. A low knowledge character pontificating about a subject about which he is clueless.

Does this guy know that BEFORE NIL the YSU athletic budget had to be increased by about 15 million to reach parity with MAC schools?

Does he understand that the bottom half of the MAC stinks in football, and that nobody in that league could beat NDSU or SDSU?

Does he know that G5 leagues like the MAC will become totally irrelevant after the latest round of P5 power grabs?

Ah yes. Isn't the internet grand.

This article uses the word rumor but after reading I didn't see any substance.

Womens Volleyball released schedule and they dont have a home match until September 20th against Kent.  So, looks like at least another 90 days until Beeghly is finished.  Also, I'm sure if it's not ready they'll move the match to Kent.

Just for the record, Mercyhurst is already on the Womens Volleyball schedule for this year.
