Remember when we used to give a crap about NIU’s Pro day? I barely noticed this years.

Not that it would have mattered, but if I was Jackson I would have skipped the bench press.

Outside of Ester. These numbers are atrocious. Everyone of all positions seemed to have failed in the 3 cone drill. I'm doubtful anyone goes on to the next level.

The numbers are terrible.
Check out the NFL combine numbers.

It really is a direct reflection of hammock’s alternative recruiting of size over athleticism. We all know the previous regimes took smaller but better athletes and hoped they could over come.

Not sure. We have to see when actual skill kids have a pro day. I am willing to be brown will put up some numbers. Rudolph too.

What’s wild to me is the transfer backers numbers - how bad were the kids we had coming back? No we can see why Dolphin seemed like the fastest guy out there.

Hammock gets a pass on the RB's. He crushes that position(if he can keep them around) and Brown will have a great Pro day. Rudolph too. But Rudolph has been the exception not the rule. It's no surprise no wr's attended this pro day.

Thank you.

Why? Because you hate their politics? A lot of people hate a lot of universities politics. That shouldn’t be a factor.

I’m fairly apolitical…so maybe my perspective is different…and maybe I’m crazy…but I think both sides are idiots who are trying to decide which grandpa is going to run the country. ***** crazy.

I wouldn’t let that crazy in to college football…or anywhere really…other than politics.

How about because it’s a fake, online university that has no place in higher education?

Oh sure, you were talking higher education? Tell me what taking an anthropology class, not by choice, has to do with my economics degree and my career? Forcing **** electives on people that cost full $$$ is fine, and welcome, in education. Learning on the internet is where we draw our line?

Wtf year is this?

online is a bunch of crap and ripe for flagrant cheating, driving down the value of the degree in general because no one can trust it.

Let me try and get this back on topic.

I think the MAC is a hard no on U Conn because they would want to add a team for all sports. This was one of the reasons why the 1st U Mass experiment failed. One was that their football team was bad, it hurt scheduling having 13 teams, but they did not bring anything else to the conference as football only since they wouldn't leave the A-10. U Mass came to realize that they would have to move on from the A-10 if they wanted to get their football program into a conference. This time, I think the U Mass experiment will work out.

U Conn will NEVER leave the Big East. So why add them, you balance football scheduling but throw off all other sports.

WKU should be the main target to even the number of schools, them possibly MTSU. If not, take a shot at Youngstown St to elevate their football program and join the MAC. If you want to create a pod system. Illinois State would be another potential down the road if they want to jump up to FBS football. Or Indiana State.

Youngstown State?…..absolutely NO. The MAC already has six schools in the state of Ohio, 50% of the conference. That makes absolutely no sense from any aspect.

An Akron, Kent St, Youngstown Pod doesn't make any sense? Can't get any better geography and limited travel than that.

Please tell me what would be gained by adding a SEVENTH Ohio team to the conference. Just re-name it the Ohio Conference at that point.

Look at you Choosing Beggars...

No more FCS teams will be moving up. The entry barriers including a lot more cash make it prohibitive not. Last group you will see is the latest SBC teams that made to in under the wire.
