Hmmm…my research shows one meeting in football between the two schools and that was back in the playoffs in 2002. The Lakers put a sixty burger on you and won by 41. Perhaps GV played them long before that when their football program was still relatively new. As for the Lady Lakers B-ball team, they offer the same number of scholarships as every other D2 school and play on the same hardwood court.

The 6 losses were literally the previous 10-12 years prior to the time you finally beat us.

Brian “1-6 vs IUP” Kelly. It’s probably one reason LSU fired his ass.

Your ladies team was a MAC team and GV is a MAC school.

They do not offer the same number of scholarships as every other D2 school. They offer the MAXIMUM allowed scholarships for D2. The majority of schools, especially the private ones, do not offer that same number. They also don't have the "discount" you get when not having to offer a full scholarship for in-state players.

Grand Valley plays by the rules. But they have so many advantages compared to most other D2 schools it is laughable you think it is an even playing field. It is only even in terms of "being within the rules".

1989 playoff loss was first of 6 straight L’s IIRC but they won’t play us since the 2002 a$$ whipping. They’re too busy trying to dominate a weak conference in the weakest region.

Takes one to know one…

You should know that better than most on here DFB

You mean the Real Indiana University in Indiana, PA. They named the state after it…😉

That dink school still has a 6-1 series record in foosball vs Grand MAC Valley. Congrats on your D1 MAC champion ladies basketball team taking the D2 title…and IUP as the runner up gets recognition for being the best actual D2 ladies team. 😉

The team that has more talent will be the team with the most billionaire money. If that is South Florida, West Florida, or Central Florida, so be it. Conferences and traditional brands don't matter anymore. What matters is your sugar daddy.

In terms of budgets, Florida and Florida State are behind the heavyweights by quite a bit. Florida's budget in 2025 was $205 million. FSU was slightly higher at $208 million.

Coaching plays a part in that too which is why Basketball and Football have not reached their potential at Texas Tech except for Softball.

It is entertaining watching the baseball peeps at Texas Tech complain that they have been left off the Cody Campbell payroll for now.

Did Indiana have a bigger payroll than Alabamastan? I’d be interested to see a list of who spent what last season.

But most years the Gators will be ahead of them in talent…

A large percentage of players in this year's (2026) transfer portal are players brought in from European and African countries.

Indeed. And they would have been more than happy to just get a four year degree from an American University (they are valued more in Europe). Get to spend 4 years in America, get a free degree, AND now they get paid? They are thinking how stupid are these Americans!

[IUPNation]

Well South Florida did beat Florida at Florida in 2025.

Who here thinks Central, South or West Florida will ever challenge Florida, Florida State and Miami?

Well South Florida did beat Florida at Florida in 2025.
