.......and this comes as a total shock to our resident football haters......who see no correlation.
Creighton, Weatherbee, players, fans, doing a great job rebuilding from ground zero.
Kudos to all!

Selling out 450 bricks is impressive. Even more than the dollars raised it shows fan support.

Since you're the all-knowing one with the opinion, tell us how the Adidas contract affects the uniforms.

We have a budget problem and can't pay for our new football building. Let's buy new uniforms because that will help our financial mess.
Generally the way contracts work with small programs like ours is that the manufacturer will give us a discount or free stuff if we agree to buy a predetermined amount. In other words, we have to buy stuff we don't need. It's a scam.

Mm almost all D1 teams have similar deals and 90 per cent of all college athletics are not self sufficient

We cut some sports to put us more in line with what other MAC schools offer after offering more programs for decades than other MAC schools.None of the MAC schools dropped football.

That's no excuse to waste money on things you don't need and already have.

Do you think it's a good thing to have fewer sports? It was one of the few things we could point to to prove that we weren't a run of the mill bottom dwelling fbs athletic department.

Dear ljmhurons,
How do you come to the conclusion that Eastern is a bottom dweller?

Well, what do we have? We had half a conference championship in men's golf, then was bypassed by the NCAA.
I think that's our only MAC championship last season men or women.
We play in arguably the worst football conference in fbs.
Really, what do we have left that shines or separates us? Pretty much nothing. Sue Parks is still doing well with CC and t&f. M golf did okay. Akron has supplanted our m t&f team as the best in a tiny conference. M cc took a terrible drop off.
W swim lost their outstanding coach. I suspect that their successful diving coach will follow as the fallout from cutting sports continues.
While football has improved, we're still struggling to be an average team in a very weak conference.
And we have tremendous alumni and community disinterest.
