With $20,000,000.00 from one donor towards the construction. It should be 100% funded by the state, since it is for academics. Everything takes private money.

The Lamonte Bearden Memorial Game.

Groce did not stay put. He was at Ohio and went to Illinois after a run to the Sweet 16. He had less success at Illinois and then was out. a He is now at Akron. He may stay now because he likes the less pressure in the MAC than in the Big Ten. I think Coach Jack would agree with that perspective.

That will hurt recruiting. Other schools will say why go to that school, the coach will be gone before you are done.

Last time UB played Michigan thought I had a lock on my bet. I had UB +127.5 and still lost.

What is he looking to vest a state pension?

That is part of the property tax abatement that Madison Square Garden has had for years. It was what MSG got from the city to not move to New Jersey in the early 1980s. If the Rangers play a home game anywhere else they will lose the abatement. Also not sure that they really have a lease since they are owned by the Garden.

And with the 12 team playoff coming both Michigan and Ohio State games would be almost meaningless, outside of their fan bases. Tghat would have been true of every Power 5 championship game this year except the ACC.

I assume Oakland was an autocorrect for Ojala. If you think she is not capable of bang with others in the MAC, I suggest you look at the career of Kourntey Brown. They have very similar builds. Brown was a two time MAC defensive player of the year and the conference player of the year as well as an honorable mention All-American.

Hopefully they will split the years when we play them at home and on the road. For the last few years we have had to make two trips to that area every other season. I am against a lack of divisions and the Big 10 is the best example. The last two years Michigan and Ohio State would have played each other in back to back weeks. Last it could have knocked both out the playoff. The expanded playoff starting next year will also lessen the importance of the championship games he Power 4 Conferences.

Having been there, Stony Brook was bigger, faster and more athletic than UB. UB was prepared, but over powered.

There are some things that I learn about afterwards in generalities, like the basketball coach search was not the chaos that it appeared to some here, that are not public. The "leaks" were from outside of UB. There was only one exception to this when I received a phone call saying that someone was leaving UB. It may have been when Warde Manuel left for UConn, but I am not sure, if that was the one heads up I ever got. I have no knowledge of the hiring process and what goes into the hiring of a coach. I am sure that it is not much different at UB than at any other school. As soon as there is an opening people will reach to the school or have their agents do it for them. The school will reach out to people to see if they have interest. Interviews are eventually set up, an agreement reached in principle and then an announcement. If I was ever on search committee (I have never been asked), people would know I was on it because of a press release that would list my name. That is all that I would ever say. Even if there was not a non-disclosure agreement signed to be on a search committee, nothing would ever be earned from me about how the search went. The only thing I "knew" about before it was made public was the selection of Mark Alnutt as Athletic Director. I was able to learn from sources within UB, outside of Athletics, some information in general terms about the finalists. With a little surfing the night before (more accurately in the early morning hours on the day of of the announcement) I was able to figure out who I believed the new AD would be. What gave me the confidence to post it was that he had just been followed on Twitter by Nate Oats. As a donor, winning is nice. But to me what is more important are athletes leaving UB with a useful degree and being able to do something productive when their athletic career ends. I have said this many times if I have a choice between 13-0 plus whatever happens after winning the MAC Championship and being known as a mill that does not care about athletes and just brings them in as rent-a-body to win or being 0-12 with a high APR and graduating athletes with useful degrees, I will take 0-12 every single year.

Does not say much. You could even say silent.

I think about $35,000.00

Have you seen Zach Wilson play? (Did you call for everyone at the Bills to be fired when he beat the Bills in a relief appearance?.) If Wilson an go in the first round, Snyder could make a practice squad.

No, because the Constitution does not govern Title IX. Title IX is a statutory scheme that covers among other entities educational institutions that receive federal money. If a school gave out NIL money, they would most likely be required to do so with the proportions required by Title IX. A private entity that does not receive federal funding is not subject to Title IX. That means that Dunkin', that is currently running ads with a number of women athletes, can spend in any proportion they want to spend and Title IX would not be an issue.

That is because a school cannot seek NIL money. It has to be sought by a private group (collective) and not the school. If the school raises the money it is a NCAA violation. A collective has been set up. https://ubbulls.com/sports/2022/7/26/ub-name-image-likeness-program-built-in-buffalo

The worse sight lines anywhere

It was the look of the track, it makes the stadium not look like "college football".

I am calling BS on the stadium as why people are not going to UB games. I have decided against going to see any game because of the facility it was going to be played in. I have never gone to a facility and said that I am not going to see another game because of the quality of the facility. For all the people on this and other message boards or spying platforms (Discord for those of you scoring at home, or even if you are alone) claiming that the stadium has issues, I do not remember one person saying they were giving up going to games because of the facility, and yes I have gone to basketball and hockey games as well as concerts in the Aud. For those who complain about soccer lines on the field, have you seen a Patriots' home game recently? Soccer lines do not seem to be an issue for people in Foxborough. Also, how many people beyond these boards are complaining about the stadium? At most, and this is being very generous, there are maybe 15-20 people here who complain about the stadium. As for removing the track, I know it has hurt UB for conference realignment in the past, but look at other stadiums that used to have tracks. YOu can still see the make out of ht the track inside of them. For four schools, take a look at Ohio State, Maryland, Wisconsin and James Madison. If you look at the picture of the James Madison's facility in another thread, you can still make out the track.
