YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU COULD STILL GET IN!!!

They don't deserve to get in. Nowhere near where they need to be. Would be an embarrassment to have a home game in front of 1,000 people.

All of the above teams are better than YSU anyway.

Penguinpower has a very skewed vision of the talent level and world view of YSU football. They are not better than any Big Ten team. They are much improved this year and really need to get that playoff monkey off their backs.

Outside of only a few places, FCS football is largely irrelevant. I was at Nova's homecoming last weekend. Only about 6,000 in the stadium to watch a top 5 team. There were probably twice that at the local bars getting ready for Penn State and OSU. Just the reality.
On another note I have never or will never pay for a YSU ticket. They are just too easy to get free. I could call 5 random people and get tickets.

In the 10 years I have been on this board, this is officially the earliest you guys have ever started b****ing about the lack of respect for the conference and the anti-YSU conspiracy. I usually have to wait til November. Thanks!

A college education is what you make of it. However, when searching on-line for Ohio schools for our son to apply to, including MAC and YSU, we could find no indication of any minimum GPA or ACT standard for admittance to YSU. That was an eye-opener for me. They have "conditional admission" for those with below a 2.0 in high school. Sorry, those people do not belong at any college. Until the remedial kids get funneled to community college and there is an admission standard, the perception will be the reality for some. They are on the right track by pushing people to EGCC and away. That is what will change the perception.

You hit the nail on the head. Other than those very few of us that follow 1AA, almost no one knows it even exists. If it isn't big time then it may as well be D2 or D3.

I say it is because ESPN hates YSU and there is a conspiracy to keep YSU out of the playoffs.

The MVC is obviously a top conference. HOWEVER , until NDSU joined and won two titles the last was won by Western Kentucky over a decade ago. Say what you want but the MVC has underachieved in the playoffs for years. YSU did not deserve to make the playoffs. End of story. And there is no anti-YSU or MVC conspiracy because other than the 100 core fans for each team, nobody even knows these games are being played.

Basketball by far. First round basketball tournament games probably draw 10x the viewers as the FCS championship game. Outside if the towns where FCS teams are, nobody knows those games are even on ESPN 11. People take off work to watch first round hoops games.

It's very difficult to truly compare top conferences since most don't play each other out of conference. The MVC plays Midwest regional patsies and the CAA plays east coast regional patsies. Probably the same with other conferences. So is the third place MVC team better than the third place CAA team or the second place Big South team? How the hell could anyone figure that out? Unless you win a conference or have 2 or less losses it is a complete crap shoot.
Lets not forget one point. Other than those of us nuts that follow this level of football, it is largely irrelevant. What possible incentive would a committee have to chose one team over another? Some presidents are probably secretly happy their teams get left out because they hemmorhage money in the playoffs
