With the budget crisis at YSU, I do not see any possibility for YSU to add much additional funding into the football budget any time soon. Our enrollment is about half of Akron and Kent. The student fees will not generate enough money to have similar athletic $$$ to those institutions.
We actually have been getting more students into the game than previous few years. If we starting losing the conference games, that will drop off also.
In our faculty meeting with the new YSU president, some faculty members have already asked the president to consider reducing the athletic budget. To his credit, he indicated that we would stay in the current D-1 competitions for all sports at this time.
Go penguins.... I hope the rain stops for the game so we don't have to get wet. I hate to see our receivers and PR trying to catch a wet football.
