Duquesne game

[IronGuin14]

I honestly felt bad for not renewing my season tickets for this year - today I feel vindicated. DP & Strollo should have had to answer all offseason why there was such an exodus of players - I think we found out yesterday. This program is on life support - Bring on basketball season!!!

Strollo couldn't raise money to replace the ancient chairbacks and bleachers in Beeghly.  All programs are on shoe string budget at YSU compared to other schools.  We are in the bottom 3rd or worse in both the MVFC and Horizon league.  Yes, there have been facility improvements but no real big money to make a difference.  Who should we hold accountable for that?

Tressel was president since 2014. Thats where I would start.  We may not like where college sports has gone, but thats where it is.  YSU has to decide whether to compete in this environment or decide to move down.  One way to compete is to go after coaches who arent from the "Valley."  It doesnt seem to be working.  Fortunately for basketball(and other sports), true national hires were made.

Stambaugh is now 42 years old.  Public restrooms are horrible yet inside stadium is fully renovated.   Also need a new main scoreboard as the one near Beeghly can hardly see.   So how do we get donations for that?  Calhoun did it for men's basketball.  What about Phillips raising money for the football program? Who would invest in YSU football now is my question?
