Re: UNCC $100 Million Athletic Upgrades
I have some good friends who are well-placed in the Pirate Club. One interesting comment they make is how ECU athletics has struggled with the higher academic expectations of the AAC versus what they enjoyed as a C-USA member.
And while I don't believe this would be the case with App like it is with ECU, I agree that not having have schools of Law, Medicine, etc. and not being a research-oriented university will definitely limit App's future conference aspirations.
Oh yeah, and we don't have any money.

Man, you covered our situation completely in two statement (1) we don’t have any post graduate professional schools and (2) we don’t have any money!Bootsy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 6:46 amI have some good friends who are well-placed in the Pirate Club.

Re: UNCC $100 Million Athletic Upgrades
Frankly, this sounds like excuse making more than anything. Every AD is different on what they are willing to do. Most of the SEC schools are R1 and even a few AAU schools but they were the poster child for Underwater basketweaving degrees. I mean UNC is (supposedly) a good school but their athletes didnt' even go to class to begin with.Bootsy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 6:46 amI have some good friends who are well-placed in the Pirate Club.

A few years ago, we decided to break ties with a commit over grades and he immediately signed with USF (an aac school), they got him in no problem. And USF is a good school on the fast track to AAU status.

Schools are like athletes, you get the best athletes in character and ability you will have the best team, you get the best schools in character and ability and you will have the best conference.

I think it has less to do with academic standards per se than the what the overall academic profile of the school.BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 9:36 amFrankly, this sounds like excuse making more than anything.

It's not like East Carolina is known for the academic strength of its degree programs.
But in this day and age, I suppose anything is possible anywhere. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Re: UNCC $100 Million Athletic Upgrades
you think being the newest FBS team might have some impact? I'd say we are consistently outkicking our coverage and the revenue is just building slower than the athletic success. We know of the rich football and overall athletic tradition at App but the rest of the world thinks we played a game in 2007 then started back when we joined the Sun Belt. That includes probably 75% of our own alumni. I personally know a couple of alums who are extremely successful and could make a significant impact. I've invited them, encouraged them and even shamed them trying to get them in the club. The needle is just moving slowly.

Re: UNCC $100 Million Athletic Upgrades
Since Appalachian has not had the resources to spend on their programs that many programs have to spend, they may have spent it more wisely, as a result, recognized success that has alluded many programs.mike87 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 12:22 pmyou think being the newest FBS team might have some impact?

This is the opposite mindset our admin and football program need to take. We are not outside looking in to the Charlotte market waiting for UNCC to take it. We ARE the Charlotte market and we're kicking ass in it.
When you look at the "big" NIL deals right now, its almost always just boosters or rich alums funneling money that used to go backdoor through the front. Nothing has really changed its just out in the open. Maybe UNCC gets a billionaire alum who does it for them, or maybe we do, can't control that.
When businesses with no ties are looking to invest in college football programs, the ??? they are going to ask is how is my investment going to pay off, they don't care about laundering money for the program, they care about making money off their investment. Do they want to invest in the program that has a 7% market share (tied with UNC), or the program that is statistically insignificant?
Now it's incumbent on our NIL department to disseminate this information to businesses, but this is the data they are looking for in making decisions about NIL.
What you say may come true, but i think we have more than a punchers chance of staying extremely relevant in the Charlotte market and keeping and growing our place as the most popular G5 team.

And in about a decade high speed rail should be commencing between Virginia and North Carolina and that likely will extend to Greensboro and Charlotte.

I wish we had a bit more presence in the Greensville-Asheville market.

Also it might be best for App sports to be part of the bigger Charlotte media market it seems Ashe county should be part of the Triad market. Maybe even Watauga County. Not that newspapers carry much weight but the W-S Journal does more for High Country coverage than the Observer does based on years gone by.

Re: UNCC $100 Million Athletic Upgrades
One thing that stands out is that in North Carolina, as opposed to other markets, the most dominant share of fans are really low, because there are more teams to for which to pull. In other words, we have real choice that most markets do not have. Another interesting note, Marshall and Appalachian are the only schools in the Sunbelt that have any share at all in any market.BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 9:21 amsorry to bring up this old post, but i've been looking for this graph for the last 2 weeks.appdaze wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 10:15 amLol, butthurt?
