I wouldn't be so concerned. Our last import from Iowa State made quite a name for himself.

I believe that walk-ons should eat with on practice days. The is out; why not let the total squad eat rather than throw it out. Also feed them on home game days. I would even go for 1/4 . Many of these walk-ons might be as worthy of scholarships as those who receive them. They are often either the star of a bad team or just below the top few on a really good team. As far as I know they get nothing.
I know nothing about these things, but is it correct the walk-ons are not allowed to eat with the scholarship players? If so, wow!

I find it a positive thing in that we are doing this without playing any P5 $$$ Games.
I'm not certain that is good or bad. A number of G5 schools, notably from the Sun Belt, had some success playing $$$ games.

I don't see any positive news in this report. Only 1.3 million in earned revenues and 2.4 million in other contributions?

I believe this is just from year to year. It's actually hard to get real numbers and expenses as charges are spread around.
That 40M figure represents total revenue, not earned revenue. Our earned revenue (ticket sales) has hovered around 1M for a number of years. The overwhelming bulk of the balance comes from student fees and university support. I'll admit that the numbers are murky at best.

We all complain that alumni don’t care about , and yet our “most committed” complain about meager ticket prices. The department relies on from football to run the program. How much do you expect them to sacrifice for the sake of making it cheap enough for people who don’t care to attend?
It comes down to consistent winning, not making the tickets cheaper. They can barely make them any less expensive. Our $20 tickets are prime and not nosebleed seats. End zone is less. Season tickets are dirt cheap. I won’t even mention what other schools’ alumni pay to attend.
You can’t compare us to minor league baseball since they have guaranteed from the big club and their record is irrelevant, so they can afford to practically give away seats.
For , I recently paid more for one seat at the Army-Navy game than I do for both my NT season tickets, which are second row seats. (Btw I don’t ever attend because I haven’t lived in Texas since 2009 but I want to support the program.) If we win around 9-10 games a year, no one would complain about ticket prices and the stadium would be 75 or more full constantly.Revenue from the football program can't even pay for the head coach's salary, much less anything else.
Winning consistently will solve everything. Increased promotions may bring people to a game once or twice but is not sustainable.

He will be the Director of Bands, not the marching band director. Here, he is the third man out of three. At Ithaca, he will be the top man. Well deserved.

It was announced today that Dr. Dan Cook, the director of the Green Brigade has been named the Director of Bands at Ithaca College. Ithaca, located in upstate NY, has a very prestigious music school and this is a great step up in his career.
He had done an excellent job both with the Green Brigade and the other ensembles he conducts. He is a fine man as well and will certainly be missed.

I think we can all agree that our branding is a mess. Even on this board, people will refer to us as the Mean Green Eagles, albeit rarely.
I suspect with the new regime, we will go through another rebranding, compounding the problem.

Our program has enough luggage, thank you!

Welcome, Coach. We hope you do well here!

Joking aside, I always think about this when we do have a coaching change.
The new guy arrives with his beaming and proud family and there are hugs for all. We have speeches about how Coach X is the right man for the job and how they are going to turn this ship around. Except they don't. And the cycle repeats.
While I am still vertical, I really do hope the next man is the one.

Yes, I've often worried that many Mean Green fans are "talking through" what has become one of our best seasons in recent history. These don't come around that often.

You think it's bad now. Should have seen it in the mid 60's when my moved to Denton. It looks like a compared to then.
Isn't that the truth! Coming from Virginia, I enrolled in the autumn of 1971 without any previous visits. I had never seen such an ugly campus in all of my life. The facilities were bad as well; overcrowded classrooms, crumbling infrastructure, etc. At West Hall, they had three of us to a room.

They seem to be putting a lot of faith in Caponi

Ha!
I was attempting to make a little joke, referencing former ISU coach Mac and the notariety he achieved over the "worst loss in the history of college football".
