Better than I imagined it to be.in the student section. It was a very quiet stadium throughout the broadcast. Not much to cheer about.
In our defense, it did take us a year and a half to complete a pass.

For many students this will be their last opportunity to attend a hockey game until February 6/7 so hopefully they take advantage of it.

I thought that was you flicking me off in the picture I took of the home stands 
No football fan - student or otherwise i - s going to come to the stadium to watch what the Redhawks did last night - how long are we going to put up with this Saylor?
We should try to become player development arm for OSU — in effect minor league affiliate. That way we don’t have to worry about player acquisition and we can get some coaching help.
I proposed this last year. Let Ohio Ohio State give us money for our NIL collective and send us players they want to get starting experience, and then they can just “call them up” the next year.

OSU is loaded with 4/5 stars and half there freshman recruits are practically NFL ready (JK, but not really).
There is nobody on Miami’s roster that is good enough to play for Ohio State besides Adam Trick
Your plan might work for Cincinnati as disgusting as that sounds
A MAC all star team would get beat by Ohio State easily
Dom would disagree. And as an untrained lawyer representing Dom, I would object.

That’s why we need Ohio State to funnel us the players.
do we jut assume they meet the academic requirements?
Serious question: when was the last time you heard of a player being deemed “academically ineligible?”
That used to be a thing 20 years ago. Is it still a thing?
EDIT: and maybe it was 30 or 40 years ago. I am getting kind of old.

It used to be such a huge sigh of relief especially after 1st semester when you’d play the next game and nobody was in street clothes.

From a low APR, which is based on graduation rate right? Different than low individual grades.
If you are never bowl eligible, are you really banned from post-season play?

Not quite. APR is calculated as follows:
For each student-athlete, you get one point if they graduate, stay at the school, or transfer to another school while academically eligible. You get a second point if they’re academically eligible. Then the points are summed up and divided by the total number of points available (2 x # of student-athletes) and multipled by 1000 for the final score.
So you could end up with a low APR in the case where a ton of students totally drop out of school but are academically eligible still, but realistically it requires a decent number to be academically ineligible to get a low score.
