YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU and Villanova Game Airing on Flosports

I'm a big fan of college wrestling and they broadcast a lot of matches plus they have other real neat content. My problem was I thought I was paying for one month on a month to month basis but had my creditcard was billed on an annual basis. It might of changed since this was about 5 years ago but unfortunately I won't watch the game since they're involved.

I've never heard of it have any of you?The CAA has a deal with FLOSports to broadcast all of their games. Unfortunately that means this game will not be streamed on ESPN+. The only way to watch it is to purchase a subscription from FLOSports, but I am not sure if you can purchase a single game or if you need to purchase an entire month. This is a CAA issue and not a YSU issue, as I know some of you will find blame with YSU for this one.
Anyhow I will be making the trip across PA to watch this one. Go YSU!
Any chance for one of our local stations to pick this up from FLOSports to broadcast it live?

A pay day of $20,000 or more is all they care about. Like I posted before the coach needs to recruit both players and coaches and raise money (NIL) for the program. I haven't heard any big contributions to the program. I know there are supporters but nothing setting us apart from the competition.
I refer back to the Business Journal article of last week. It listed average NIL money for various levels. Here is what stuck out:
7.1K the average NIL payout for a YSU athlete
3.5K the average for all of FCS
3.1K the average for the MVFC
2.3K the average for the MAC
At the moment, we are not underfunded in comparison to the schools that we are competing with for recruits. Obviously, we can not compete with big time programs that offer over 20K to our players. But clearly right now we actually have a NIL advantage over like institutions.

« Last post by go guins on August 22, 2024, 10:17:32 PM »YSU Football has a lot of work to do to become relevant in a watered down FCS. The coach is solely responsible for 3 thgs that need to happen or the decline worsens.Decline worsens?
1. Recruit/retain talent
2. Accountability in coaching staff
3. NIL secure money for the program
We made the second round of thebplayoffs. What decline are you talking about? Good grief, our defense sucked. Phillips cleared out most of the d and restocked from every option. Recruites, por5al transfersvfrom above and below. I think coachnis doing a great job. 89

« Last post by ucfpengbuck on August 22, 2024, 05:23:11 PM »Youngstown, OH. — A lack of loyalty and trust to the program was evident specifically on the defensive side of the ball throughout the course of YSU’s 8-5 season. Communication appeared to be an issue in the backend of the defense and tempers flared whenever a mistake was made during a game. Immediately after the season concluded, several important players rushed to the portal and others followed suit until there was almost nobody left on the defense. It was later revealed that multiple players on YSU’s defense were tampered with before a crucial second round matchup vs Villanova. At the sight of a couple more thousand dollars in cash and an FBS name to play under, high ego characters lost focus on a key playoff game and worried only about themselves. They found an escape route, a place to depart to if there was a negative outcome.
Quinpen,I totally missed that paragraph because I wanted to read more down the article about who may start especially on defense since there has been so little information. That is a very damaging statement and I think in last night podcast coach Phillips alluded to this but didn't get into specifics although he maintained that he's accountable and wants to make sure that he and the coaching staff have the loyalty of the players and they want to be at YSU.
