    I get it's 'D1' and all ... but going from an every snap player to a special teams guy (as a senior) has to suck.
    Proof that the grass isn’t always greener someplace else…

    Isn't Ingram a DB? He's not very big to be playing LB?
    Yes, but he did play LB in the spring.

    Can't wait to see IUP play on Thursday.

    Another article in the IG by Matt is about increasing scholarship limits in college FBS football from 85 to 105 next year. This is going to be devastating for D2 football during the transition and water down the talent pool thereafter.

    The changes are even more pronounced in minor sports. For example in college wrestling the NCAA has limited roster size to 30 athletes but increased the scholarship limit from 9.9 to 30. Yes, 30. In a sport already dominated by the Big 10 and Big 12, it's likely going to make it nearly impossible for other schools to compete, particularly the D1 PSAC wrestling schools (Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, Edinboro, and Clarion).

    As I think everybody on here realizes, we are witnessing the professionalization of college sports. Sad, IMO.

    Fowler was really good but he had an off field incident I do believe.
    He was dismissed from the IUP program around Game 6 or 7 last year.

    Other interesting transfer news as I see old IUP DE starting at Ferris State..…Didn’t think he was that good or my theory of the playing field leveling in D2 due the Upward portal world…curious indeed.

    Get the ball to Massey




    Not something you see every day. He's going to fit right in.

    Very, very few schools allow their field to be used for recreation.

    Blows my mind.
    Depends on space. Duquesne, RMU, and CMU all have intramurals and club sports on their stadium turf.

    I'm not sure that could cause an issue, either. Could be a faulty installation or poor maintenance. I'll assume the former.

    Walk On U was open to the public years ago but they shut that down. In the 2000’s I used Farrell to walk the track…but they got an all new field and track and that was it. No more.

    Bring back the old goat pasture.

    There is also an article about the Miller turf. What's going on with that?
