Future scheduling announcements soon

[311neers]

I will say that Gillin could probably use an injection of excitement for future schedules, because with the team down this year, there's not much besides Boise in '27 that will excite most fans. (All due respect to Toledo, who's a good program, but I just don't think they'll drive many ticket sales in Boone.)

The Boise away trip will be fun next year. That's a bucket list for a lot of college football fans.
And the future schedule announcement will be a great environment in Boone next year and a similar type Boise trip for the away trip out west.
2 great additions in the immediate near term.

Just to clarify, I was referring to home schedules. I think between the program falling off and State backing out, we could be looking at a season ticket sales dropoff without some significant home additions. Agree the @Boise game will be a big deal.

Yup, not good timing to have a bad team. This future home game next year will help with sales, but it’s no N.C. State. The away trip will be similar to away at Boise.

[311neers]

So I guess everyone here is basically doing the 20 questions thing hinting that it's Oregon State without just saying it, correct?

Hahaha walking on eggshells around here. I gave a pretty good hint a month ago but don’t think anyone caught it! They better sign or it’ll be pretty hard to find a good replacement this late in the calendar. That future home game is less than 11 months out.

If I were a G5 team I would sign up to play in Boone in 2025 without hesitation.

How many G5s have open dates in 2025 other than those in the Pac2? Maybe Ole Miss since Wake bailed on them?

[Tru2ASU]

We need to get G5 opponents here ASAP if we can. When we get that 70 team super conference, that'll get cut off quick..

I'm just grateful that Ashton Jeanty Will be gone by the time we play them.

I know we're saving for a buyout of Clark and whatever else is coming down the pipeline, but i'd REALLY like to buyout that NC State game. Yeah its petty, but buy it out and replace with another P4 for a larger amount than our buyout was.

I would rather see people funneling money into NIL dollars for players than buying out an NC State game where they actually pay us to play.....
It is priorities IMO...I feel like we are behind our peers in this area...just gut .no research to support it...
Given the current landscape, we have to pay to play. Some may not agree with the concept...but it is what it is..

Nope, not gonna do it.

There is positive correlation between the introduction to NIL and our downward on the field performance, but I'm not ready to concede causation.

Our peers are having better seasons with less resources.

My comment is more long term and not about current season results. It will all play into success. Good coaching, good players ....NIL..

No kidding, teams beating our a** aren’t rolling in the dough. It does make for a convenient excuse.

Yep, not kidding. NIL will impact a schools ability to recruit a kid even at the G5 to level in the future....

Toledo is going to Wazzu next year, so Toledo has to drop a 2025 game.

This also means one of Toledo’s previously scheduled non-conference opponents will be postponed or canceled:

08/30 - at Kentucky
09/06 - WKU
09/13 - Morgan State
09/20 - at Appalachian State

At this point, would it make sense to remove the word “soon” from the title of this thread?

Not really because last weekend Gillin said announcements in the next couple of weeks.

[AppGrad78]

GIllin is waiting on the other school(s) to pull the trigger. He’s as eager as the rest of us for a bit of good news for the High Country.

Until shawn clark is gone...and we begin to rebuild the crumbling indrastructure...we would be wise to schedule like liberty. Play the weakest teams possible. If you guys think we are closer to being what we were than a perennial losing team...ive got bad news for you. Its not just the terrible current results...the man has recruited nothing. He relied on the covid rules to have inherited players stay 5 and 6 years...yes he underperformed and mismanaged that talent...but he recruited nothing to replace them. He even declined on joey until another coach saw him at a combine or something and asked clark to reconsider. This is an fcs roster.

App has Joey because Ponce identified him as someone worth watching and nurtured the relationship.

Also, App doesn’t have the luxury of playing in a weak conference like Liberty does. Other than avoiding scheduling P4 teams, how else might they water down the schedule? Easier said than done.
