With their average attendance lower than needed what is gonna happen if they don't get the required 15,000 a game. Will they moved back to 1-AA and if so will they go back to the OVC or another conference. I hope they can get that average attendace up but with the way things are looking it is not gonna happen.

I know they were expecting 31,000 for Full House II and only got about 15,500 and this past weekend when Big Boi was there they only had roughly 17,000, 13,000 less than what they were expecting. I don't think we're going to meet the required 15,000 this year. I was told that if we don't get it this year we have to get it for the next 10 years in a row and if we don't one year the next we will drop back down. I don't really want to drop back down. I'm sure we could dominate down in 1-AA but I like playing against the bigger boys. Go Blue Go! :justwrestle:

honestly, i dont think this attendance mandate is gonna survive. too many mac teams would have to drop down because of this, a lot of the good ones too, just too much to risk with this, i think the ncaa is bluffing on this

I think it's a good rule... then again, ULM can handle it. Too bad, MTSU.  :rolleyes:

of course you think its a good rule. but if ULM fell on the short side on the stick i am sure you would feel the same way

Get butts in the seats and you don't have to worry about it. We do so thus I don't have to worry about it and thus I think it's a good rule. Pull your load or get out of the Sun Belt. (Sometimes, you should make friends to help you out with this...)

heres the thing: if you are gonna require x attendance over a period time for the football programs why dont you do it for basketball, baseball etc? the only purpose of this rule is to make money, plain and simple

I believe it will be hard for MTSU to stay 1A. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing them with the big boys, however, I think the program could get more recognition by being 1AA again in the OVC. With the Vandy rivalry being resumed over the next couple of seasons, it would be great to have MTSU in the OVC and then beat Vandy...that would be nice. Let MTSU build their program up in the OVC for a few years then try to be re-instated in 1A.

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
