It's a shame that the enjoyment of even a regular season has diminished due to the obsession with the playoffs. While that's the ultimate goal along with being the champ the reality is something that many refuse to accept. One of the really big obstacles that an App faces is injury and depth (or la...

College athletics is not really about making money. College athletics is a scholarship program. Just like in the movie Ms. Congeniality is not a beauty pageant, it is a scholarship program. Having said that, what college athletics really is, is advertising for your university. It is a mechanism to b...

Clemson projected to top of ACC, we won't be playing a weak Hole team. I'm guessing we will be at least a 2 TD underdog. Yea I know , Michigan and A&M...any given Saturday.... blah blah blah. Not saying we are going there to take an ass whipping and a paycheck. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/othe...

It reminds me of when Appalachian was ranked number one and Michigan was ranked number five. It is a return to when Appalachian and Georgia Southern were always ranked number one when they met each other. It is also a guide to see who should be the top G-5 program to make the college football invita...

I’ll be happy with the 2024 Sunbelt Championship. Then you’re one of our fans who should have a pretty good chance at actually having fun watching our games. That’s what I’m going to try to do, be happy with a good showing in the Belt and if we win a P5 or two, great. But having to make the playoff...

It may end up like a draft one day where the p2's set the price for the first round draft, second round and so on. Your college (APPSTATE) can't draft in that round unless they can pay the player the amount associated with that round. Who knows at this point where it is headed. I feel for the high ...

3,600 players entered the portal in the 2023-2024 academic calendar year. College Football is toast.

College Football is not toast, it just makes betting harder than before.

Portal betting may be the future. Who leaves, who stays, and where they go.

It will likely get worse before it gets better.

Until these kids get solid advice from adults on consequences that linger by transferring by choice, it isn’t going to get better.

You have much more faith in those " adults" than I do.

The "ADULTS" are the problem...

For those who argued PAC-12 would stay autonomous: The board also moved the Pac-12 from an autonomy Football Bowl Subdivision conference to a nonautonomy FBS conference, which impacts the weight of its vote at the council level and participation in the autonomy legislative process. They’re just lik...

You really do not want the best players, you want the second best players, the ones that rely on their teammates and do not try to do it all. You see teams all the time who rely on one or a few players to do it all and when they get hurt the team folds. Other teams that do not rely on just a few pla...

Everyone wants to have a competitive advantage. Most believe more money would give them that advantage. Some schools have always had a competitive advantage. What is Appalachian's competitive advantage? because it has never been money.

Some if not most on this board won’t like this at all but it’s my experience. My daughter started at App and graduated from UNCC. Her experience at App was less than stellar. Her experience at UNCC was very good. App. seemed focused on social engineering and UNCC was focused on the course work. Jus...

This may be an attempt by UNCC to get into a, "Better Conference".

Look! Grass Seats, part of our culture...

Blue Hose pipeline worked for the men.

How can a hose have a pipeline? Would it not be a hoseline instead?

No, it would be a hosepipe.

JMU is adding varsity lacrosse, in the ACC.

The next ACC school: JMU. Why didn't ECU think of that?

I would never ever send my kids to a college that underhandidly funneled my money to pay athletes salaries. If someone wants to throw their money away in NIL then more power to them, but if a college ever started funneling student fees to pay athlete salaries I hope they get sued into oblivion and ...

March Sadness.

That is what it really is, "March Sadness." Quick, coin the term now.

Good luck proving the tampering. Yes they get free education but that isn’t going to make life easier in all cases. Xaxion Brown is from California. He literally has no one from his family attend his games. He probably hasn’t seen his family since June. I don’t care what kind of scholarship and per...
