Quote from: BergAlum2 on October 04, 2026, 03:10:19 PMSomehow heidelberg stayed ranked, and for the first time ever I think for D3football.com Mount Union is not ranked, seen ya'll game yesterday was a school record for most yards
Wow! ... A first time, indeed!!
I mean, I can certainly see how Franklin & Marshall vaulted from the unranked to #22.
Afterall, the records of the teams they have defeated is 3-14.
Until yesterday, it was 1-12.


Prescient.

Who would have thought a month ago that the Cleveland Guardians have a better chance of winning the World Series than the Mount Union Purple Raiders have of winning the Stagg Bowl?  Ugh.

Endowment issues.  Ohio colleges of interest:  Notre Dame, Lake Erie, Baldwin Wallace and . . . everybody else.

Ole Miss endorses "Geoff Dartt School O' Clock Management."

Mount Union, Ohio State and BYU all had one HUGE factor going against them today.  Can anybody here name it?

Quote from: Dr. Acula on October 01, 2025, 10:47:32 AMYou don't need to remind us of those bad memories, WRMU!!

That was the last Mount Union Game I attended in person.  :(

Well, at least you manned up and took responsibility. 

If you search my past posts you'll see I've posted this before.  I was also there, in person, for the ONU loss at home and the UMHB loss at home during the playoffs.

Well, since I have never in my entire life attended a Mount Union football game I will take credit for all the wins and national championships.  So . . . . . . . . . we're even.

Mount's game should be a snooze but there are four (4!!!) games this week matching teams in the top 15.  I wonder if that's ever happened before in the regular season.

Unless I am mistaken, Adrian offers as many football scholarships as Valpo.

Sept. 4 and 6.  I think.

All the games are listed on the first-week scores page of this site.

Quote from: Dr. Acula on January 23, 2025, 07:52:19 PMExactly.  IMO the biggest remaining hurdle between the farce of the players getting paid for NIL only and being an employee on payroll is the universities/NCAA still laughably claiming the athletes are not employees just amateur athletes.  Eventually I would think it ends in revenue sharing where the university sets aside a % of their athletics revenue for player payroll.  NIL could still be paid in addition to that I'd imagine so the gap between the haves and have nots will remain, but it sets a floor for everyone.

Quote from: Dr. Acula on January 21, 2025, 09:10:22 AMIt'd definitely be interesting.  I wonder if/when the athletes become employees of the schools it will be public as it is (or used to be at least) for all state employees?  There used to be a database where you could look up state employees, teachers, etc.  Basically anyone funded by tax dollars.  I showed it to one of my buddies that worked at OSU and he texted me the next day telling me he spent his entire day at work looking up what other people at OSU made.

Keep in mind the schools are not actually paying these players. They are getting paid by outside organizations for the value of their "name image and likeness" for promotional purposes



for now.  Revenue sharing is coming very, very soon

lets hope that the professionalism of the top level of college sports doesnt leak all the way down to D3.  but I'm not hopeful
Hopefully UMHB gets out of D3 before that is approved.  Handing out old Subarus in the shadows is one thing, I doubt anyone could keep up with the legal handouts down there.

There's not enough money in D3 athletics for it to leak down this far! It's $25 to go to a championship game for pete's sake.

Sure, there are a few kids making a little off of true NIL deals, like on opendorse, but I'm not seeing 6 figure payrolls or anything in D3... ever.

I mean there aren't even very good NIL deals at the top levels of FCS as far as I can tell. There just isn't a big enough donor base. I doubt MAC football players are even getting very much NIL.

Many MAC schools don't even operate a profitable athletic department, so profit sharing wouldn't even work. Kent State for example lost over 1 million dollars on athletics last year.

It only takes one guy with some spare change and a willingness to spend it.  Does the name "McLane" ring a bell?

I agree with many that the Texas Stagg Bowls are not a great idea - but I sure wouldn't want to be sitting outside tonight in Canton or Salem.
