I remember before Donnelly, MT played Delaware in the late '70s when Ben Hurt had driven the football program to a previous low point, and the Blue Hens skull dragged the Raiders all over the field. They had the better program then, and it won't take long if at all for them to pass MT as every other newbie has done.

Was at that game. Hens were tossing simple 10-15 yard crossing patterns over the middle all day long practically every other play. Never saw a Raider within 10 yards of any receiver at moment of reception. We never made a single change defensively. One of the ugliest games I ever saw in the Boro. Believe Hens scored around 63 that day. Other than that it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Might be a tough ask, and might not even be technologically possible - but any way we can get some of the threads copy-pasted over?

No one wants to log on and see a dead board (even if just starting out) and plus, we've got a few good discussions going here.

I know things will ramp up towards football season, but maybe a daily post to get things started and get folks conversing would be good.

There isn’t a way for me to import them that I’ve found so far. I plan to get some of the popular ones added to continue the conversation. I’ve done 1 so far with the facilities thread. I just won’t be able to get all the previous comments added.

THE FUTURE OF GOMIDDLE

M
I figured it is about time to make this post.

Around a month ago Rivals.com was bought out by ON3. A ton of the group of 5 rivals websites have been purged out in the process of the merger. GoMiddle is one of those sites. The powers that be for the new regime cut GoMiddle, along with a ton of other G5 rivals sites. It was essentially a sub numbers game. The last day for the site will be June 30.

Going forward the message board will be at GoMiddle.freeforums.net. HERE is the link to that forum. We WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE CONTENT FOR SUBSCRIBERS ON SUBSTACK. in the coming weeks I will post the info for the substack site. There you will have inside content on the teams and recruiting. The substack site is not 100 percent up and running, but I will keep the board here posted and will tell you all when it's up so you can subscribe. There will be sign up info on the new message board site as well.

This is not the end for GoMiddle. It is another chapter. I look forward to you guys migrating to the new forum by July.

Let's have an honest discussion on NIL and the portal

MidTennMtneer
For comparison sake, as these are the first G5 numbers I've seen. UMass has a budget of $50m. Not super far off from our $43m. They do have almost double the athletes we have. 619 vs 349 according to the last numbers I saw.

But still, this shows roughly where we will need to be per athlete. $6m avgs out to $9,700 per athlete. So we would need around half, $3m, to be comparable.
UMass' goal is to hit $10m in a few years with $5m going to football. That'll absolutely put them at the top of the MAC.

The AAC for comparison has a minimum spend of $10m over three years. And it can include revenue share, scholarships, and Alston payments (which we already do of course). So smaller AAC schools (not looking at USF and their $100m budget), will spend minimum $3.3m per year on average. Comparable to where we need to be.

For a school like us, $3m extra per year is a huge chunk of change.
