Well if you feel there won’t be no interest then FCS will be even more irrelevant than it is already.  It’s about more $$$ and the G5 want a bigger cut.  My guess they might get it.  Our level between if that happens and NIL and the transfer portal is a mess and will get worse.

The delusions of the G5 programs apparently know no limits. Corporations and networks care ONLY about the P5. A G5 playoff would have the exact same interest as the FCS playoffs....namely none whatsoever.

Agree, the national  interests will be low especially with the extended playoff of the P5 teams. How much local interests, let alone national interests for the MAC teams? Even local people are not watching the Akron or Kent home games.
However, there might be tv $$$ to be made for G5 markets.

IMO. The P5 playoff in comparison to the G5 playoff will be comparable to the NCAA MBB & NIT. Some local interests for the participating teams, but little interests elsewhere.

Nice gets on the two.  Gives us 10 on roster now.  We need a power forward and 2 point guards through the portal or juco now.  No more freshman.

New Youngstown State coach Ethan Faulkner’s staff, source told
@TheFieldOf68
   

Danny Reese: retained

Dwaine Osborne: head coach at D2 Charleston (WV)

Mark Richmond: head coach at D2 Notre Dame College (OH). Was on staff at YSU first two years of Calhoun era

Anthony Johnson: assistant/ player development at Ole Miss

Evan Faulkner: associate head coach Univ of Pikeville (KY). Also Ethan’s brother. 

Rocco Nofli: retained/moved to new position.

Pretty impressive he was able to land two D2 head coaches as assistants on his staff. Obviously the situation at Notre Dame College, with it dissolving, helped Mark Richmond return here, but Dwaine Osborne's squad just went to the D2 Sweet 16 this past season. They went 29-5 this season.
