--- Quote from: Observer on September 17, 2014, 07:51:25 AM ---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.

I think that's what they're trying to do.
By giving them three easy non-conference wins, I'm sure they figure that's one way to get them back into the playoffs. I could be wrong though.

Well you broke it down to the basics, but really that is all there is to it.

Don't forget to subtract the MAC school's payout YSU would receive from the 200,000. If YSU could get Kent or Akron to pay them close to 200,000, then they would come close to breaking even.

In some cases it is JJ. It all depends on department goals and we really do not know them. I can say that Strollo has really been able to do so much more than any of his predecessors with his money. He has realized the value of building from the inside out. Facilities first.
Beating Ball State helps us with regional recognition.

According to this article on fbschedules.com, Kent is paying 290,000 to Howard in 2017 and 2018. Strollo told Joe Scalzo back in September that YSU clears around 200,000 per home game. Even if YSU would just break-even, I would rather drive to Kent for a good game against the Flashes than watch the Guins destroy Valpo at home. Makes me wonder if Strollo has had any conversations with the Ohio MAC schools about possible games.
The Kent State Golden Flashes have added games against Alabama, Howard, and Kennesaw State to their future football schedules, FBSchedules.com has learned through records obtained from KSU.
Kent State will travel to face the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 24, 2016. The Golden Flashes will receive a $1.5 million guarantee for playing the game, according to a copy of the contract.
Alabama and Kent State’s first and only meeting took place in Tuscaloosa in 2011. The Crimson Tide won that contest 48-7.
Other games previously scheduled for Kent State in 2016 include at Penn State (Sept. 3), vs. Monmouth (Sept. 17), and at Army (Oct. 1).
Kent State will play Howard, an FCS program they’ve never faced, in consecutive seasons. The Golden Flashes are set to host the Bison at Dix Stadium in Kent, Ohio on Sept. 9, 2017 and Sept. 8, 2018.
Howard will receive a $290,000 guarantee for each game played against Kent State.
Kent State opens the 2017 season at Clemson (Sept. 2) and also travels to Marshall (Sept. 16). The Golden Flashes need one more game to complete their 2017 slate.
The addition of Howard tentatively completes the 2018 schedule for Kent State. KSU opens the season at Illinois (Sept. 1), travels to Penn State (Sept. 15), and later hosts Georgia Southern (Sept. 22).
Kent State has also added a pair of games against another FCS opponent. The Golden Flashes will host the Kennesaw State Owls at Dix Stadium on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2019 and again on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020, both season-openers.
The Owls will receive guarantees of $300,000 for the 2019 game and $315,000 for the 2020 game.
Kennesaw State, which is located in Kennesaw, Georgia, recently started their football program. They begin play in 2015 and will be a member of the Big South Conference in the Football Championship Subdivision.
