Interesting to note for bowl participation:

Bowl expenses were 449,295+178,852 = 628,147

Quite a racket ESPN and these bowl committees got going. Your reward for a great season is 200k in extra cost!

That would still be a 20% increase in our current athletics expenditures just to stay even with the status quo. Or, if you prefer, about another $300 per student across the entire undergraduate population. I share the concerns that the economics of MACTION are not sustainable.

Compare the UC crowd vs the LIU Sharks crowd… UC isn’t that much better than most G5 teams, and Miami having a home game against a UC, UNLV or UCONN will bring out more fans from Butler County. Even a good Marshall or App State team would draw better than a Lindenwood.

Would like to see more G5 teams come to Yager, hopefully Miami can land a strong replacement for JMU.

JMU is still coming —just pushed back a few years

The ideal G6 schedule is one very winnable but interesting FCS game at home, one big money buy game with a challenging opponent and two G6 games - one home and one away.

You and Chuck Martin agree on that. I think we already play 8 G6 games and I really like competitive p4 games
