    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    Last season they hosted home games against Denver (2) and Quinnipiac (2). My issue isn't with playing Colgate, Lindenwood, and Holy Cross. BC plays RPI, BU has LIU and Colgate, UMass has Stonehill, Bentley and Army. Playing creampuffs is fine. My issue is that those schools all figure out...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    This line of thinking suggests that the UMaine athletic department has zero agency in scheduling hockey games. Like the vagaries of scheduling occur TO UMaine, as opposed to UMaine actually planning ahead and scheduling in a sensible manner so they get a decent home non-conference series. Just...

    "Hey everyone, thanks for re-engaging with our program and coming back to fill our arena after we completely mismanaged our premier program for over a decade. It's great so many of you bought season tickets and paid the new fee to be on our waitlist. Anyways, here's our nonconference home...

    Could just increase scholarships in an existing women's sport. I doubt Maine is near capacity in W swim/dive or W track.

    I'm team "keep demand high." Maine just went through a decade or more of not being able to give away tickets. You want it to be a tough ticket because then people actually use them. If you know you can walk up and get a ticket any time, why buy in advance or get season tickets? And if you...

    Any chance there is a Big Ten team coming in or is the big name home non-conference opponent going to be Holy Cross?

    Who's next for a move up to D1?

    Since 1992 there have been five, and only five, men's athletic team sports added by schools that were in FBS or its equivalent. Three required a massive eight-figure donation: Penn State hockey, Arizona State hockey, and Utah lacrosse. One required dropping another men's sport: Oregon added...

    Looking at the schedules thread, we're kind of running out of possible opponents for a big home non-conference series. Big Ten or bust at this point I guess.

    And that's what Maine is likely doing, too. No one knows what House is going to look like after all of these downstream legal challenges; the NCAA is trying to get some sort of Congressional exemption to labor laws and a salary cap; does Title IX even exist as a thing anymore is an open...

    Whether NIL contracts need to be reviewed or not, they are allowed to exist. There are still going to be huge NIL deals. I'm not sure how Maine is starting $15,000 in the hole if they are recruiting a player that they want. If they are offering him a full scholarship, great, he gets a...

    You've missed the point. There are two buckets of money. BUCKET ONE: Revenue sharing. This money is what it sounds like, a sliver of the overall money earned by the athletic department in media payments, ticket sales, concessions, etc. This is reserved for schools that opt-in and is capped...

    I don't think that's necessarily the correlation. People seem to assume that "Opting In" teams all have $20.5 million and it will be paid to athletes in all sports. I think that the former is likely untrue and the latter is definitely untrue. The University of Texas absolutely will max out...

    Maine’s not dropping football. They should, but won’t. You can satisfy title IX multiple ways, including equal spending. Or equal scholarship opportunities. Cutting football, but adding M soccer, and taking the football budget and splitting it between all the men’s sports, would keep the...

    I think it’s mostly wait and see. Also, there are about to be dozens of lawsuits regarding the House fallout. House may not look like House in twelve months.

    Providence and UConn as Big East members will be opting in as well. At one point the CAA (Northeastern) announced that all schools would be opting in, but it was never clear if that was for the CAA Football conference (of which Maine and UNH are members but Northeastern is not) or all sports...

    I dunno, I’m okay with a conference game in Portland as a prep for the neutral site regionals.

    No Bentley this year, huh. Also do we know why the UMass road series is Thursday/Friday? It isn't to avoid the throngs headed to Amherst for football- they are at Akron on a Tuesday night that week.
