YSU FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Lets_Talk:
I thought this was one of the better articles written by Scalzo. He made alot of good points, and I like that he provided the OOC schedules for every team in MFVC.
Also, he is spot on about Ohio being a huge MAC state. Not sure I would go as far as to say obsessed, but there are 6 MAC schools in Ohio. EMU is only about 1 hour from Toledo. Buffalo is only a 3 hour drive from Ytown/Warren area. Also, there are tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of MAC school graduates living in Ohio. Ytown/Warren area alone likely has tens of thousands of grads from MAC schools.
Observer:
As too the comment of the financial end being short-sighted, its actually quite the opposite. With the formation of the Big 5, in 5-7 years time I-AA football will either be non-existant or DII. Only the financially prudent will make it to D-II. With YSU's current gigantic budgetary short-falls, the last thing the football team needs at this point is over spending. OR they can spend like crazy the next 5-7 years, not make it, and then YSU will turn into Eastern Gateway.

Great post Observer. Scalzo doesn't have an inch of economic education. To say only the accountants at YSU care is flat out stupid. Every University in the country is trying to maximize revenue. YSU's athletics department is no different.
If Scalzo thinks beating Ball State is better than making $200,000, well I've got some lakefront property on the South Side of Youngstown in an up and coming neighborhood to sell him.

How about start winning big games. Get into the playoffs. Win a few National Championships, become relevant again and the fans will fill the stands and the money will flow.

He mentions those folks when he says "nobody was there because they thought it would be a great game. They were there because they like watching YSU football."
