MAC Football Kickoff

2027 will be interesting because our schedule has an actual tune up game in week 1 instead of being the tune up. A long way away but curious if that will change the approach

That was my immediate thought as well. Basic summary of that portion:

Reghi: ā€œThanks for joining us for MAC media day, Coach.ā€

Chuck: ā€œNo problem. Great to be here. Anyway we need to be in a strong position with football and basketball when ACC changes happen in ā€˜29 or ā€˜30.

I would hope he’d learn something from the basketball season and realize if we start the season 5 or 6-0, the student support will start to show up at the games

I processed his comments about resources as: A: He knows that Miami will never compete with the P4, at least for the foreseeable future, and B: His, and Miami’s goal, is to make Miami the best resourced G5 school. All of which I agree with. I think with facilities, we’re just about there. Once a new press box is built, I think Miami is in a really good spot.

Aren’t there structural issues with building a new West Yager press box/suite tower that would jack up the price? Unless the current one is unsafe or literally unable to broadcast, it’s a hard sell to shell out millions and take away from NIL for something that won’t impact the team on the field. It’d be another story if there was high suite/club demand but that probably isn’t the case with all the other sports entertainment options in SW Ohio.
