I didn't get that read. I do think that football is coming back in some capacity because of what he said and what Bardo said last week. However, I think that they are reading the support for it to decide at shat level it will come back because he did mention that the P5 leagues had to bring more schools on board before we could find another league to join and that could be anywhere from 1-3 years to happen.

He basically said the next 5 have no interest in adding right now, thats FBS level. That shake up at the top would have to happen and that WSU was way late to party. To me this equals MVC and FCS.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostComment

The other possibility is that football would not join the Valley and would hire a football coach, and remodel or build a stadium. It would take 2-3 years to build up a football program anyway and we probably can't play football until we have coaches and an actual team. They would remain in the Valley for basketball but wait for the shake up to happen.Originally posted by Ta town View Post
He did say that if we join the Valley for football, it would mean that we are making a commitment to the Valley.Comment

In the "Alive in 95" scenario they also talked about taking a couple of years to build numbers for football. Year one would recruit a freshman class plus juco players and redshirt the entire recruiting class. Practice and hold scrimmages the first year. The next year again recruit a freshman class and juco players. Play a schedule beginning the fall of the 2nd year and determine which if any of the 2nd year group to redshirt.Comment

I could be wrong, but I believe today is the last day in May...

IMHO, the first thing Dr. Bardo needs to do is to install a quality, experienced athletic director before we make any moves of this importance. This needs to be done with as much thought and care as we would use if we were hiring a men's basketball coach.Comment

Perhaps the type of athletic director they would be interested in varies based on the future direction of the athletic department. You might need and/or attract a different pool of candidates based on whether or not you are starting up a football program.Comment

Only if football advances to the FBS level and a the Shocks found a new conference. Last year the AAC was ranked ahead of the MAC in football, but the MWC and CUSA were ranked below the MAC. Same was true for men's basketball with CUSA well behind even the Valley.Originally posted by shock View Post
Not sure what Jim's family situation is but he may not be that interested in trying to resurrect a football program that previously died from natural causes 30 years ago. In many ways WSU would be starting from less than scratch. OTOH perhaps it is a challenge that would energize a guy like Jim. However, I am not holding my breath on that one.Last edited by 1972Shocker; May 31, 2016, 10:16 PM.Comment

So, bring back football and fill the void left by Oklahoma.
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment

I hope WSU isn't the football equivalent of the girl who just got Ugg boots in 2016.Comment

Would pretty much guarantee the football team at least one win every year.Originally posted by MoValley John View Post"You Don't Have to Play a Perfect Game. Your Best is Good Enough."Comment
