Ah come on!! You know what I mean if we can recurit our great HS players to YSU..........do not act that way you know what I meant. Ohio State is always recruiting in the Mahoning Valley. YSU needs to recruit the players to a FBS/1a football program. Remember, Ohio State earned a National Championship on the back of a Mahoning Valley running back............be nice

Luke Fickle is possibly a good fit. But if he has no understanding that YSU needs to go to FBS/1a, it would be best if he stay at Ohio State.................YSU can beat Ohio State if we can keep our great players at YSU...............

For sure, YSU should have been in the FBS/Ia sometime ago...................but now is the time to hire a coach and AD to take YSU to the level they belong.........Charlotte University plays a weaker FCS schedule then
YSU. In fact Charlotte U was 5-6 this year in the FCS. But, Charlotte is going to the FBS next year. Charlotte has only been in the FCS two years and now is going to FBS. Another thing, no more big money games for YSU if they stay in the FCS. In the FBS they can play a couple of big money games each year.

YSU needs to change the stadium configuration. It would be best if a larger scoreboard be placed at the south end of the stadium. Then on the north end,of the stadium, stands can be built with a radius. At the same time the east and west sides of the stadium can be bridged by the new stands. As such, the stadium could have a horseshoe effect. Then the stadium nick name could be renamed the Lil Horseshoe. The stands would then be large enough to accommodate all of the fans. Fans, that want to see quality FBS football. Also, the brisk north winds would be blocked, making it somewhat more comfortable.

I doubt YSU's football program will tolerate waiting 5 years to go FBS/1a. YSU football needs to go FBS within a year or less. When a new coach is hired, again another rebuilding process. For what to play FCS teams in the hinterlands.
Also, I appreciate that the monitors of this blog, remove the alleged participants that are name calling. Example, Wicks25O and Observer and any others using this blog to spew hatred.

Actually, you should be more responsible and read all the posts on this subject. Also, you have no idea about the YSU budget. You also have no idea about the cost of going FBS. That is, whether or not it is too costly compared to the entire program staying in the abyss ,as it now is. ...........YSU's budget is fine. If YSU's budget was so dire, the administrators would eliminate some of the positions that could easily be combined or eliminated. Also, If and most likely when YSU's football goes FBS/1a, the revenues will increase greatly............Fans want to see quality football. Perhaps, it is you that lives in a lil make believe universe...........named Observer's Place.

Now is not the time to worry about conferences or revenues.............What is important is that YSU hire a n experienced coach that can take the YSU football program to FBS. Also, YSU needs to hire an Athletics Dept Director that can take all athletics to their deserving levels. Look at YSU mens basketball. The team has had one winning season in the last 10 years. The winning season was because YSU played several lower division teams that year. I am not saying to fire the current Athletics Dept Director. I am saying lay off one of the asst Athletic Dept Directors, and move the current AD into an assistant role. Then YSU should hire an experienced FBS/Division type AD . YSU needs to rock the athletics boat before the boat sinks

SPIDERLEGS stated:Of course, you could start charging $50 to $75 a ticket for a football game, but if you started that next season, don't think our attendance numbers are going to suddenly swell. It will be the opposite.
However, Marshall a member of USA Conference sells prime seats for $25-35. With the proper marketing YSU could bring in probably .5 $ mil each home game. Ticket sales about $400,000, parking $10,000, Concessions $20,000, Tail Gaters $5000.00 not counting season tickets and lodges...........Tickets could be $20-35 not $50 to 75. YSU prior to the current debacles always put more than 15,000 fans in the seats.........time to go FBS

Coach/President Tressel was hired at YSU in 1985. That was 30 years ago. Coach Tressel had many years of experience in 1a/FBS football. Hopefully, YSU athletic administrators and the Board are not considering coaches from the FCS or levels below. Even the former coach was from South Carolina. YSU needs a experienced FBS coach to take the program to FBS/1a.

I watch ESPN and other channels that broadcast football games (sometimes FCS games). YSU is not always mentioned and that era, but quite often YSU is mentioned. However, time to move on and create a program that could be built on the memories of the 90s. The YSU alumni players, like Jaworski, McFadden,Stoudt, and hundreds of other players and hall of famers deserve such.
I doubt anyone on this blog knows the costs of YSU going to FBS football. Also, YSU does not need to go to the MAC. A better fit would most likely be Conference USA (East). Non conference games could be with MAC teams, Akron, Kent, Toledo etc.

Observer says YSU has no tradition. Are you being goofy to attract attention or do you seriously believe such.
YSU was one of the most recognized programs in the U.S. , that is tradition. Unfortunately there are many as yourself that are disgustingly cynical. Be positive, be supportive of a great program that can be successful again.

That is the best situation. However, YSU has passed those opportunities. Too many universities moved to FBS. YSU can not recruit the players to compete in FCS. The competition is too great with all the universities moving to FBS. The New Hampshires, the Dakotas and other far out regions of the U.S. have different recruiting possibilities. YSU can not compete with the far out regions of the U.S. recruiting areas. YSU needs to go to FBS. YSU will be very successful in FBS.
