???????????
Still, there are so many better options in that area for education. I'd say I feel for those who fall for their scam, but few actually are - except for unsuspecting foreign students. Which, I can't really blame them in all honesty.

Well it looks like they have on campus parking anyway so there is that!
Check out that motto too - Learn More, Earn More, Much More! That's right up there in nuance with Harvard - Veritas.

Originally posted by Redwing View PostI do think that Lincoln does count as a DII game. But yeah, they don't even look like a weak opponent.
BTW, the other thread about moving about generally has a consensus to stay DII. So one thread, we stay, the other, we moan some about the quality of the opposition available for GV to play. (Not saying that we wouldn't be moaning about the opposition in FCS.) But football competition is one of the reasons for momentum building to move up.
Lincoln University of California, not so much.
And as bad as the D2 Lincolns are, they'd be an upgrade on many fronts than a sketchy California college football program that would make Bishop Sycamore look like Clarkston or Warren De La Salle.Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

Originally posted by laker View PostI was surprised to read that D1 Pioneer League St Thomas will be hosting them in St Paul. You would think that they could have at least gotten a D2 team.
No evidence to support it, just a hunch.

I just hope Lakers fans recognize that.

GV scheduling Lincoln (CA) is GV's own fault - they definitely have opportunities for better opponents, but chose this one instead. I wonder why?

So what opponents are willing to play GVSU in that week? I bet if you could send a list of teams will to play to the ADs office she would send you a nice t shirt as a gift. Getting ANYONE to play GVSU or Ferris is damn near impossible. GVSU even pays teams to play home OR away and they cant get games. FCS is coming soon for this exact reason unless the GLIAC can get something done NOW.
Heck, Lindenwood came up to SDSU last year. Maybe the Lakers would be willing to sacrifice a home game to play a quality FCS team. It would be a guaranteed loss, but it would look a lot better than beating a bunch of JUCO kids who paid for roster spots. Just an idea.

Between FCS, D2, D3, and NAIA - AD couldn't find *one* program willing to play GVSU? They had to choose Lincoln? That sounds like an administrative problem to me, not a "nobody wants to play us" problem. Either that or my original theory that money is exchanging hands in a reverse PFP situation.
