IUP shouldn't have much trouble there. What's your problem with Seton Hill?
It was a garbage team with a coach who encouraged it. It ruined IUP's season.
Not to mention I'm tired of hearing about how they can't compete in football because "they actually have academic standards" and can't accept the "state school types".
The PAC would be their perfect home.
So, here's to hoping IUP is interested in this game today.

They both couldn't wait to join the PSAC after years of horrendously long bus rides, etc. They aren't leaving for the GMAC.

Seton Hill is the only school I truly despise in the league. Here's to hoping IUP beats the p!ss out of them today.

Big conferences can’t have ooc games and play everyone in the conference. There are a bunch of conferences that have none. If you don’t have a marquee ooc game, wouldn’t a 4th crossover be just as good?

Originally posted by Matt Burglund View PostIf you're asking why PSAC teams play a 10-game conference schedule, the answer would be that the schools asked for it. It was getting too difficult to fill out a 10- or 11-game schedule when you only have 6-8 league games. I would imagine travel costs went into it, too.

Originally posted by Horror Child View PostTrue, but almost every team, actually every team but one this year, has a week 0 game scheduled, so it rarely works out.
Originally posted by Horror Child View PostWhy is the "handicap" of only having week 0 available for non-conference games in place?

I am not 100% certain, but I don't think this is true. I seem to remember a situation where some creative schedule-making happened, but I can't think of who in the PSAC did it.
An example: If Youngstown State called Edinboro and said they would play in Week 1 of the PSAC schedule (not "Week Zero"). But Edinboro is scheduled to go to West Chester in Week 1. Edinboro calls West Chester, who maybe doesn't have a Week Zero game lined up, and asks to move from Week 1 to Week Zero. West Chester agrees, and Edinboro gets to collect a check from Youngstown.
I've talked to the commissioner about this before (it's been a few years) but I think I remember him saying the league wouldn't stand in the way of teams doing this.
