Yes, I don’t think it is about making $$ for YSU. I think the administration is trying to do something for the student athletes and hopefully can also get some visibility for the university and the program. It might help future recruiting effort. Just my 2 cents.

Fresno State it is

Looks like YSU gets the forfeit win/bye whatever you want to call it & moves to the quarterfinals & has to go to Fresno State next Wednesday night at 10 PM.
Supposedly TBC gets the gate from these events. Have to wonder how it works when YSU's game Wednesday included the women's WNIT game. The women's crowd was reported at 917 & the men's at 1045. There were definitely way more at the women's game.

I tend to agree
Penguin Nation:
One of the best judges of character are who you surround yourself with. YSU should've protected its brand and not associated with this "tournament," unless, of course, YSU's brand has deteriorated to this level.
Maybe all Ohio D1 MBB (and even WBB) programs start a "Buckeye Madness" tournament, where you take 8 (or 4) teams that didn't qualify for the NCAA or NIT and even pick a charity to benefit (much like the Coaches vs Cancer games).
Or just sit it out rather than play in cringy, sketchy "tournaments." End the season with dignity.
I must admit I am curious to see where the wreckage lands and will follow it with a morbid curiosity.
The 404 error codes are now gone from the social activist website....so there's that......
