OT: D1

LOL. Too bad Division II can't get in on that. The $475k would be about half of Ship's football budget. And it wasn't that long ago Ship was playing the C.W. Post campus of Long Island U.

We used to - but it was the other way around where we were the "buy a win" game for an FCS program. A bunch of West teams would play YSU one at a time and get $75-100k. It was close a few times, too. But then the tides turned and FBS started buying their games when they expanded to a 12 game schedule.

Recent FCS payouts from FBS games:

Robert Morris: $400k from Central Michigan
Duquesne: $275k from Ohio
Long Island: $475k from West Virginia

After that debacle Nuz may very well go back onto the hot seat. Meanwhile further south Big 12 member (who wants an ACC invite) WVU in a packed stadium upset #15 V-Tech.

Hail to Pitt ... W T F

Has the dude who donated the $20 million asked for it back yet?

Losing to a MAC team at home. Oh my.

Yea I really don't get why they would transfer unless it was clear they were going to play. The guy from Edinboro, an OL, I believe someone mentioned he was starting for Toledo.

I think Winston wanted to increase his draft profile by playing up a level but IMO he could have gone to a G5 school and if not been a starting WR on the outside a regular slot WR for a G5 or top 10 FCS program. Headen leaving really confuses me, he had average slot WR stats at the D2 level so jumping up to a FBS program makes little sense. At least Chaney stayed D2 and found a home where he can compete for a regional title....

Former Edinboro OL Vitaliy Gurman grad transferred to Toledo with 2 years of eligibility. He played a bit last year and is starting this year. Notre Dame writers were gushing over him.

Any PSAC guys who entered the portal and left for FCS/FBS or "better D2 programs" having success in their new homes. Did a quick search and Ship's Winston Eubanks who did the PWO thing at Penn State made the traveling roster in Week 1 and played in a handful of offensive snaps at Wisconsin but didn't play in the home game against Ball State. Charles Headen who left ship for SMU with a PWO in hand also played in week 1 but recorded no stats against FCS ACU but didn't play in Week 2 a win over North Texas. John Chaney III who left for Shepherd has settled into the DB rotation earning a start so his move I guess has paid off thus far.

They were pretty good a few times in that span. But let's not confuse HUGE fan base with on field success.

Equals over rated!!!
