Re: NCAA Ruling


Anyone know how the just passed court ruling will effect WIU and other similar universities or is it more for the P4 conference teams.




Hard to say at this point. We don't have the money to be paying players all that much, but that's not much different than before. Essentially it's now legal ...

Re: FCS/Mid-Major Conference Shuffling

Villanova is moving football to the Patriot League effective 2026. They will be joining William & Mary and Richmond in the move.

Obviously they'll be keeping the rest of their sports in the Big East.

Re: 25-26 Schedule

They should be announcing the OVC schedule pretty soon. Probably in the next couple of days would be my guess.

Re: Show your support for the Illinois Higher Ed Equitable Funding Bill

If you live in Illinois, I recommend that you contact your lawmakers to let them know that you support the bill: https://takeaction.io/pcc/sb13-hb1581-i ... r-state-2/

Re: 2025 Season



Who has plans to go where?
Probably the game at Illinois. I'll have to miss the home games against EIU and Lindenwood, unfortunately.

Re: Coaching staff


It always amazes me the lack of turnover for the girls. JD seems to find away to get people to stay. Part of me wonders if it’s how he recruits almost the entire roster is from 3 hrs away close enough for family to come but far enough to not be right at home. The only one of these that’s a big ...

Looks like CSU is planning to start playing in 2026 as an independent, then join the NEC in 2027: https://fbschedules.com/chicago-state-to-play-first-football-season-as-fcs-independent/

Re: 12-game football seasons


While I would love to see them keep the ISUred game, I would think at this point we couldn't afford to pass on a money game.


I'm hoping with the extra game, ISU can fit a H&H with us in their schedule more often.
From our side, I'd love to see those 4 OOC games be an easy one at home (nearby D2 ...

12-game football seasons

If approved (seems likely at this point), it will mean that teams can play 12 regular-season games every year: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45053003/fcs-moving-12-game-regular-seasons-beginning-2026

Currently, it's only certain years, due to certain quirks of the schedule. A few ...
