YsuPride:
What about the previous announced return trip to Central Michigan on Dec. 21st? Is that still on?
Geneva at home in November as well.

Yes. I have trouble believing YSU would pay $70k for that game. We probably averaged less than 2k paying fan at the home game. Mathematically, it would not generate $70k unless some sponsors or TV contract kick in $$$.

Most likely the Tribune/Vindicator writer accidentally typed an additional zero. $7000 would sound about right for a mid-major opponent. If this figure is accurate, it is a terrible waste of resources.

The Penguins brought in four older D1 players. The incoming players replaced four transferees who stepped down to D2 and D3 programs (Chicone, Ogoro, Long and Vargo). The departed players should never have been at YSU in the first place, but that is another story. The newcomers' age and experience as D1 players should make the Penguins better.
Will the incoming players elevate the program to contender status? Bryce McBride was a part-time starter at Eastern Michigan (9-21, Sagarin rank 299 of 358). Brandon Rush was a starter at Fairleigh Dickinson (4-22, Sagarin rank 349 of 358). Malek Green was a sixth man at Canisius (10-21, Sagarin rank 264 of 358). Adrian Nelson was a part-time starter at Northern Kentucky (18-12, Sagarin rank 194). Outside of Nelson these players are unaccustomed to winning. Two came from dreadful programs. How these four translate to making YSU a contender may be more hope than reasonable projection.
Mattia Acunzo (Toledo, through Robert Morris) and the return of a healthy Garrett Covington could increase the possibility of success.
Excellent points. We have been fooled too many times. We are all ready to embrace a good team but let's actually see it first.
I am still concerned that Calhoun's recent freshmen recruits are vastly inferior to his first two batches.

goodnews:
Thus far the schedule is less than impressive. If I had what I thought to be a competitive squad (league contender) I would focus on a challenging road schedule with pay days. What they've been doing for the last 20 years has only resulted in less fan interest. I know the majority of the schedule was set prior to the transfers but there are opportunities to improve what is already set.

Maybe nobody wants to play us because of our potential to be good team. IDK
