OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - BearcatMan - 05-15-2020 01:33 PM A program with far more success in their history than our own team, and with an actual stadium on their main campus...

Why do we linger with our 0 MAC titles and 0 NCAA appearances. The most unsuccessful program in UT history. Including WFH! IMHO M RE: OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - DetroitRocket - 05-15-2020 04:18 PM Difference between UT and Akron/BG is that they are over the NCAA minimum of 16 sports. Akron had 20, BG 18. There are other MAC schools over the minimum also. UT has no place to go. How do you save money? I know there are some schools who don't give the maximum number of scholarships in every sport. Are there NCAA minimums? Baseball has 11.7 scholarships, but does UT fully fund the sport-BG didn't. OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - emanoh - 05-15-2020 04:33 PM The P5 conferences are just lapping this kind of stuff up, hoping the mid majors force themselves to DII. So they don't have to deal with us and keep all the $ for themselves. Sorry to hear BG is cutting a main sport. Oral Hershiser has to be pissed.

He certainly wasn't passionate enough to open the checkbook OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - indianasniff - 05-15-2020 05:13 PM Save $500 K. Add a year to Candle deferring half of this 2020 21 salary. Do the same for Cullop and TK. That would save close to a million total Nobody living in Toledo needs to make the money Candle makes. Another year of security for short term pain not a huge price Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - DetroitRocket - 05-15-2020 05:17 PM (05-15-2020 05:13 PM)indianasniff Wrote: Save $500 K.

Whether it’s a drop as far as DII or the creation of a new NCAA level that’s a cut below P5, this was moving in they direction since the distinction was made between P5 and G5. COVID-19 will just speed this along a bit faster.

And people have been coming after me for suggesting that the MAC should consider moving to FCS. It would allow us to drop two sports and significantly cut back on scholarships overall while not really affecting the competition level we face on a day to day basis. RE: OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - IamN2daRockets! - 05-15-2020 07:25 PM The AAC now has zero chance of joining the elite and making a P6. Covid killed that as well and that means a true limbo for the AAC. The MAC is not going to FCS.

Not sure why the AAC is being brought up...they've always been in limbo with their unsustainably large budgets and middling TV revenue. MAC is in divisional limbo without an NCAA bailout in the form of relaxed rules, and those who don't believe so arent looking at things objectively.

RE: OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - Michigan Rocket - 05-16-2020 08:27 AM Maybe UT can pick up some of their players? Couldn't hurt.

A way to survive short term pain when we can’t cut a sport. Do I like extending all these coaches another year? Not really. But these are the highest paid coaches we have.

I am all for the MAC dropping to FCS status where most of the schools belong!!!!!!! But Toledo should remain FBS because it one of the very few if not the only one that IS actually or can operate at the FBS status. Toledo's Women's BB average attendance is larger than 10 of Men's BB teams of the MAC...…. Here's a hypothetical.....and it could happen.....maybe not. If BG were to drop to FCS, do you think SOME of the marketing money that it competes for with UT would then start going to Toledo's coffers???? RE: OT: BGSU Cuts Baseball program - utrocks84 - 05-16-2020 06:40 PM WHY can't the MAC stay FBS and drop programs that can't and add some either from FCS that want to move up or from AAC and C-USA. Teams like UC, Temple, UConn, NAvy, WKU, maybe Old Dominion, Marshall. Make a better conference logistically and competitively than the MAC, AAC or C-USA is now. By reducing travel for C-USA and AAC and having better regional marketing for them within their conferences it may enable a really good football and basketball conference and reduce travel for non revenue sports. This maybe wacky, but something like this would be one way to keep UT, Buffalo and who every can meet standards for a more elite conference that in time could compete with P5 schools due to media draws from where these schools are located. PICK YOUR BEST WISH LIST FOR A NEW CONFERENCE FOR TOLEDO. Those non P5 schools available.

Now if we can't get the virus under control and students on campus, then all bets are off. |
