Message: [QUOTE="CCSU97, post: 2880263, member: 7844"] We will see. I'm a lot more skeptical ... this football regime can't seem to win FCS non-conference games, the school administration is bleeding athletics dry (dropped M/W golf and 35 schollys), we have less media coverage than we had a decade ago (which was minute), and many fans/students are losing patience with lack of success in the lowly NEC. There are always small glimmers of hope, but overall we need an huge infusion of cash (unlikely in the current fiscal environment) and wholesale changes in how the university is perceived both in-state and regionally (which no leader has been willing to address). Unfortunately, adding schools like Merrimack isn't helping our image either. Yes, football has a chance to repeat as NEC champs this year, but is also likely facing a first-round out in the playoffs if they make it. Eastern Michigan is the FBS opponent on next year's schedule, but nothing on the books after that. [/QUOTE]
