It's apparently true tthat they virtually have a sellout for every football game. Checked and their 2011 attendance was 19,784. Stadium capacity is 19,818. They had a 10-3 record. Basketball attendance for 2011-12 was 7,142. Record was 22-14. Very impressive.

I agree, I was hoping this would happen, if not for anything other than BBALL. Could there have been bigger schools who could have gotten the invite, sure, it appeases the eastern half of the conference. IMO I think this is a good thing.

tons of upside with this school and the area around it.... you will love your first visit to Hampton Roads. If we travel in force I will see about getting Naval Base tours lined up for the Alumni and an aircraft carrier visit.

Good to see a strong basketball add. I know many are "football only" people, but positioning ourselves with stronger programs in all sports can only help us. With our recent recruiting and the kids I think Benford will pull in there is no reason to fear strengthening our competition.

I hope this is true. Official announcement probably won't happen until after June 1.

That is my understanding from a ODU poster from another board. ODU reason for waiting till after June 1 is so that there first signing class which will be senior this fall will have the opportunity to play for the FCS title this fall. The poster felt that ODU owed this class that opportunity since they were willing to commit to a start up program instead of going some where else to play football.

My understanding is they sell out because they all able to sell all there tickets except for student and visitor tickets as season tickets. There football tickets are a hot item. With there move up I can see only donors being able to get tickets until they all more seats.

2013 still FCS

2014 transition year CUSA schedule ( like USA in SunbBelt this year)

2015 Full CUSA full D1/FBS program

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Good question. I believe that if they are FCS in 2012 that must serve 2013-14 as a reclassifying school which would make them eligible in 2015, the same year as Charlotte.

Another question is when is UTSA eligible? I've read that they will be eligible in 2014 as they start their reclassifying this fall. Remember that they've yet to play a single FBS opponent. It looks as if there will only be eleven eligible the first year.

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
