I agree. They are always on somebody's schedule. Never see them win any of them. As we've discussed, it's great to schedule and play those games. But.......

Yes, I'm aware of Phi Slamma Jamma. I am aware that achieving success in basketball is not necessarily a new thing for Houston. I really only named them...

[IUP24]

I think you have really misunderstood or misinterpreted the conversation and my post. Pounding the table about Houston becoming a program who has become...

[IUP24]

You're missing the point. None of those schools are blue blood basketball programs. Nobody thinks "Houston" or "Oklahoma" when they...

[IUP24]

I agree with this. Pragmatically you are correct from a financial perspective as you look at costs associated with D2 versus D1.

At a macro...

[IUP24]

Regarding the discussion of moving up to D1. I believe that we're seeing a seismic shift with how I will say MOST schools are going to eventually prioritize...

[IUP24]

I'm with you on this. I think it is very unique to see the number of schools attempting to move up at an increasingly high rate. Now... I'm also of the...

[IUP24]

The sad part is that these players aren't hiding that they are just chasing the bag anymore. Dayon Hayes wasn't getting a better opportunity elsewhere...

[IUP24]

I think the challenge for GVSU is one based on proximity and location. What's the end game for them? An eventual move to FBS football to join MAC? If...

[IUP24]

I think dominance and dynasties are good for sports, in general. I recognize that's probably not the popular opinion. But the reality is that you either...

And WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, just 10 miles from West Liberty's campus is? (You don't need to provide a response to that - I get it. I know it's a "neutral"...

[IUP24]

I feel like West Liberty offers a similar geographic value add that Frostburg does, relatively speaking. It's not extremely far away from current PSAC...

The Pittsburgh media barely knows Pitt exists until they want to trash the university or the two main athletic programs....

I didn't want to be the one to post it. Glad you did.

IUP or Cal are the best two venues in the league. Size is perfect for having multiple...

Geography aside... I actually would prefer Charleston out of the MEC compared to Fairmont.

That said, I agree that Frostburg has buzz and...

[IUP24]

I recognize that the proposals regarding time of games is for crossover games early in the year. I just don't understand this trend of wanting to play...

[IUP24]

Hurst has competent facilities. Better than many members of that conference. Not really sure what you are talking about....

[IUP24]

My immediate thought was what you alluded to here. I'll miss those two coaching against each other. Of course, I'm not sure how much longer we were going...

[IUP24]

They have a real nice stadium. My sister lives about an hour or so away from DC in VA. We pass through Frostburg, MD all the time heading her way. Never...

[IUP24]

Not necessarily related specifically to the topic at hand, but I sort of get a chuckle out of how the NCAA (or maybe it's somebody else, I don't know)...
