YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Missouri St

« on: Today at 07:53:54 AM »

I cannot imagine that the opportunity to move up in football will last very long, a lot of schools will have the same dream that Missouri St is now living but I do not see the G5 diluting itself by taking everyone that wants in. Probably too late already for most schools like YSU.

Does not seem that YSU has the aggressive attitude needed to stay relevant. Excuses are easier to find then solutions.

Football will suffer the most, unless we find some major NIL money, we will never be a factor in the play-offs again. The new reality with paying players means that you no longer will build a program, you will need to buy a program.

Is today the day that they start the upgrade?

It would be interesting to have a live feed video so we could watch the progress.

I give them credit, admitting where they stand in the greater scheme of college football and trying to make the best of it.

It does push us down a peg in interest

YSU Penguin Athletics / Bowling in Final Four

« on: April 06, 2024, 10:16:38 PM »

LANSING, Mi. (WKBN) – The Youngstown State bowling team is headed to the NCAA Final Four after beating Nebraska to advance out of the Lansing Region of the bracket.

The #3 overall seed YSU started off the weekend by taking down Marian (WI) and Maryville (MO) on Friday before topping the Cornhuskers to claim the regional title.

Next, they advance to the 2024 NCAA National Collegiate Women’s Bowling Championship rounds on April 12-13 at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Michigan.

The Finals consist of a 4-team double-elimination mega-match format and a best-of-seven Baker Match Championship Final.

They will be joined by three other teams from Conference USA in the Final Four with Jacksonville State, Sam Houston State and Arkansas State all winning their regionals as well.

With the regional championship, YSU bowling continues its record-breaking campaign after putting together the best regular season in program history.

Well there are still 114,000 alumni that did not sign onto such a drastic (in my opinion) measure. Regardless of who is President or who is on the Board, the support for this great University from the Mahoning Valley and our Alumni base must continue. We should be proud YSU boasts the largest endowment of the four state colleges in Northeast Ohio, despite having the least number of lifetime alumni among those institutions.

Also, it has been reported in multiple news articles that this endeavor to renovate Beeghly is 100% being funded by outside donors. Kudos to Coach Calhoun for leaving a lasting mark on Youngstown State University!

Nice post

Only logical thing to do is move forward, be aggressive, have better facilities, get a better coach ( not saying he was not good ) raise more nil money.

Good bye, good luck, have a nice life!

Unless Strollo pulls off a minor miracle, a lot of those new seats may be empty for a while

Here is a quote from the Oakland coach.

"He's going to get offered so much money and I can't [match that]. We've got a 'Keep Trey Townsend Fund' going from our [NIL] collective, and we might be able to get $40-50,000 in there, but he's looking at $250-300,000 from what I'm being told. So, it's going to be hard for me to tell him to stay."

I'm sorry but i'm not clear of who Kampe is talking about ?

Trey Townsend  forward
