Unless something radical has happened that we're unaware of, this doesn't seem like the smartest move. Time will tell.

      Edinboro goes 0-3 in those games.

        Hope they are being paid well.

          I'm sure they are being paid fairly well and guess what if Coach Bradford believes he needs to challenge his team early in the season to be ready to take on Cal, IUP, Rock in division play why not play the best rather than play a cupcake game. I rather see them play and compete against a beast like GVSU than take a SOS hit blowing out Cheyney or Millersville. As the old saying goes to be the best you have to beat the best.

              Probably the best money game you can get nowadays with the 1AA's playing up for the most part. No more YSU vs the PSAC.

                You'll probably also play in front of more people. They averaged 13,432 per home game.

                  I heard there is some good money involved. It's a big recruiting win. Playing in front of 13,000-14,000 at GVSU versus playing in front of 1,200 at Kentucky State. Which is more appealing?

                    Might be a rather weak GV team in 2019. They'll be replacing 4-year starters at both QB and RB in 2019, so who knows what they will look like.

                      GV doesn't rebuild, they restock. Edinboro can recruit out of this world and still not compete against that team. Edinboro doesn't have the resources.

                        Edinboro is also going to be losing 15-20 seniors this year...a lot of which will start. With a 9 guy recruiting class and a few of those being 2 year guys. Probably a bad time to put GV on the schedule on top of the tougher crossover games. Kutz and Bloom in 18' and 19'. I don't think getting pounded in front of 13k is good for much.. especially if you might be struggling for wins at all in the next few years. I'd take a Lake Erie type win. If they could make a Bill Snyder type schedule and start 4-0 I'd go with that.

                          Take the money and run. I don't know about recruiting. Most high school players on the East coast have never heard of GVSU.

                          Money is what you need for recruiting. This helps.
