Oh yes, much of the sports money comes from the student's tuition. The fee called the General Fee. That is why you would think students would attend sports events. All they need is a ID to attend. After all the students pay for much of the sports costs. Don't ya think. Also, do not confuse the General Fee ,which is tuition, with the General Fund. The tuition General Fee goes into the General Fund,  then moved to various university groups.

Ok I am  off to the mall, b4 the Ohio State game............go you BUCKS, GO YOU BUCKS

My friend told me yesterday that the YSU plays Texas A & M today..........now she called me and said it is next week...........guess I will go Christmas Shopping.

Texas A &M will be a very good game to help fans decide whether or not the YSU win over South Dakota was a good win. Don't ya think?

I was checking that General Fee thing again.
I found the amount for last year, most likely went up again though.
Here it is: *GENERAL FEE
(Waived for Beeghly College of Education Off-Campus Graduate Work in Professional Education)
Students registering for 1-11 credits............ $ 54.60 per credit
Students registering for 12-16 credits.............. $ 655.20 per semester
Students registering for credits over 16........$ 50.34 per credit
Lots of it goes to the YSU Sports area.

I can help a little but not completely.

Our budget figures can be found here: http://web.ysu.edu/gen/ysu/Budget_Planning_m753.html

The 2015 FY budget is $14 million, with the athletic department coming up with $3.1 million of it in revenues (tickets, advertising, etc.). The rest could be regarded as subsidized from non-athletic sources. USA Today has attempted to collect data on athletic budgets and athletic subsidies from non-athletic sources across schools: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/. You can see the numbers for the MAC schools there, but not broken into the detail that you want.

According to USA Today, our subsidy of athletics is seen as on the high side relative to other institutions. It is worth noting that $4.6 million is student scholarships.

Oh no as usual budget talk always leaves out the student.   Students are charged tuition do not forget that.  Read this:" The University Board of Trustees defines “tuition” to be the sum of the instructional, general and information services fees.   These fees are charged to all students"
Well the students tuition includes a  general fee. A big part of the general fee goes to YSU sports programs. Just thought I let you know, you know.

I was just talking to a friend, she said she heard it may be a while before YSU hires a coach. She said something about the university,  has a Diversity Policy.  Hmmmmmmmmm what is that?? If it is not one thing it is another.

I asked my grandfather about what you said..........that Mc Elroy got 72 points not 100. He says he is not sure but 72 may be right.

Anyway, yeah he said they were division 2 at the time. But, who cares they were good.  He said with a good coach they could be just as good as in the good ole days.

WELL, I thought that maybe today would be the day. But, surely the selection committee will decide next week for sure. It is so DRAMATIC, isn't it.  Maybe, they are still trying to change Coach Marrow's mind.

I was just wondering why, one of this blog posters wants coke back. I did not know that YSU had to sell only coke on campus. Why is that? Anyway I was checking the Jambar.The Jambar had a big story about it.
part of the story says:
"Beyond pouring rights, Pepsi now will act as a sponsor for YSU, contributing money both to Student Activities and the Athletics Department. This enables Pepsi products to be featured in advertisements and marketing for YSU, which includes the popular Gatorade sports drink for use in athletics promotion". 

I myself do prefer Pepsi. It just tastes better. That is for my tastes anyway.  Maybe the football team can get some of that money to help pay the new coach.

way under-qualified. The man had to take a HS job after leaving a short stint in the NFL-e ...BTW who gives a crap about Mooney? Mooney gets you a job in the Stoops-Pellini camp, but not in the Strollo-Tressel camp


Ok I also checked out Don Treadwell. He has a lot of great qualifications. HMMM that is until I read that he was head coach at Miami University in OHio. His record scaaaaaaaaaaared me. Guess what it was...........
8-21. That answers that.  Now, someone on this website, says that Coach Marrow is not interested to be the YSU football coach.{Get over Marrow and find a new candidate to be a cheerleader for:
@KySportsRadio: Spoke with UK Asst Vince Marrow who told me that he is not interested in the Youngstown State job and is "committed to being right here"}

 But you never know? Hopefully they do not pick another Ursuline guy. I think the guy you guys call Wolf was a Ursuline guy.

Well, ok I was checking out Trent Boykin. The information shows Coach Boykin was a head coach at Lane. I think it was for  two  years. The website says the team lost 17 games. Oh no that is not good!

So, back to Coach Marrow.
Well  maybe YSU can  help change his mind.  Coach Marrow has so many great qualifications. My neighbor says a football team needs a good recruiter. I think Coach Marrow is in charge of recruiting at the Kentucky University football team.

We basically know nothing right now. Strollo doing a good job of keeping it under wraps....

My intuition tells me.........I think it will be Vince Marrow.   He has all the qualifications.........

I wonder if the university will do a background check on the selected person. Remember
Penn  State and some guy that was molesting students or whatever?

My neighbor says the university has to make a decision pretty quick. He said something about recruiting needs to be started soon.

Ohhhh you make me soooooooo mad. Coach Marrow is on the list that the Strollo-Tressel camp made up. I did not make the list, the Strollo-Tressel camp did. But, hmmmmmmmmmm on 2nd thought, did not the Strollo-Tressel camp select the coach b4 the guy you guys call the wolf. Also, hmmmmmmmmm did not half of the Strollo-Tressel camp pick the Wolf guy. Maybe, they need some help picking the next guy........maybe a committee?

How could Vince Marrow be on that list? What qualifications could he possibly have ??

Unfortunately for us he's somebody's friend so that probably qualifies him.  I agree

Yes unqualified for even a coordinator's job at our level.

Oh no, not so fast. Coach Marrow has a perfect resume for YSU's football team. I just checked his portfolio.   Coach Marrow, played football at Cardinal Mooney in Youngstown. He was a basketball player at YSU. He played football at Toledo where he transferred. He was drafted into professional football. He coached semi professional football teams. He coached High School Football. He coached  football at Nebraska University .
He now coaches at Kentucky University and he also recruits at Kentucky University. He really should be interviewed.  He seems to be a nice family man too.

I visited a friend in Lexington and she took me to a Kentucky game. It was so much fun. Any how, there was one coach that was soooooooooo much enjoying his work. I asked my friend who he was? She said Coach Marrow. As it turns out Coach Marrow went to Cardinal Mooney, I think the Head Coach at Kentucky, is from Youngstown, Ohio. I do not know,  if he too went to Cardinal Mooney. But, I think Coach Marrow was so passionate about his coaching job. I think he would be a great coach for YSU.  Does anyone know if he was interviewed.

1AA--

Strollo, per your description, seems like a nice fellow who likes you.  That's great.

In terms of job performance, the FB playoff appearances were an annual expectation under the former AD, and stopped immediately as soon as Strollo became AD.  This is the #1 sport at YSU.

I'm glad Olympic sports are doing well, but that's only a portion of his job  Every school is doing facility upgrades (JMU is unrecognizable to my wife who went there in the 90s), so that rationale holds no water.

The signature sport at YSU deteriorates immediately at the start of his role as AD (the worst post-season drought since the 70s) , continues to this very day, and he is held unaccountable?

IMO, seeing Strollo and Slocum collect checks and under-perform gives me the impression that the YSU Athletic Department really doesn't care about improvement or success.  Getting by is good enough.  I say that as a fan and alumni who has attended MBB and FB games for over 40 years.

My grandfather told me that Youngstown State University at one time was a great Basketball School. He said that the university at one time sold out many times and fans could not get game tickets. He said that was in the 60s'.He said one player named McElroy sometimes scored 100 points in a game.  What happened to the YSU basketball program. Games are fun though.
