And tied for third in Hockey East! We got ourselves a legit Big 4 match-up next weekend, lol...

If the football team wins out, they will be 7-5 and squarely on the bubble.
How nice would it be to have an extra win over Bryant or Wagner or something, and not a loss to Liberty? 8-4 in the CAA is in. 7-5 is dicey. STOP SCHEDULING TWO FBS GAMES.

If we do that we can’t afford to fly the field hockey out to have its game cancelled by fireworks.
I think 7-5 will be seen as 7-3 vs D1AA and in. I think the UNH game will essentially be a play-in. I’m just glad Sacred Heart’s a D1, if they’d scheduled a D2 there they’d be cooked with only 6 D1 wins

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
I think it's more true to say "If we do that we can't afford to fly the field hockey team out to have its game cancelled by fireworks because the football team will be losing even more money.
I stand by my position that if Maine can't afford football without being a bodybag twice in one season, Maine shouldn't be playing football.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Didn't football pocket around 1.3 million for those two FBS games..?
I hear what AMC says in terms of W/L, but Bosox is correct in saying that the FCS selection process reliably ignores FBS losses. (And Maine has won a few FCS games, too... Not exactly sacrificial lambs in that regard.)
Bottom-line: I'd have to guess that football has/will make more than hockey this season, and it still is breathing.

You'd be wrong
Even if you are correct that the school got $1.3M for the two games (which I don't think is accurate) the football program will still be a $2 million black hole. Even with the depressed ticket sales, hockey should still "only" lose a fraction of that. Depending on how Hockey East divides the TV money from NESN and CBS Sports, hockey may actually be in the black this season if ticket sales pick up.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
If Maine doesn’t have football, what do they do to meet Title IX compliance in the scholarship department? Cut 63 women’s scholarships? Add men’s sports? Do the alternatives for football lose more money than football already does? What about the income that comes from tuition and fees from the 30+ football players not on scholarship?

Also, are you assuming that those 30 spots in the student body will NOT be filled by 30 other students who will also pay about $500,000? Those spots will just go empty?
Lacrosse.
No.
That's what? $500,000? Assuming they don't get ANY financial assistance from the university (yeah, right) then we can factor that into the $2-3 million the university would save by not having football.

There's also no men's soccer team at UMO, for example. That could be a spot to start to make up some of the damage if football ever went away.

I also don't think men's swimming or track and field are anywhere near the scholarship caps.

You probably could sell them on Stubhub or Craigslist, but I think here or Facebook would be your best bet. Maine has been bad for so long that there isn’t really much of a secondary market.

Yup.
I gotta think some season tick holders wouldn't mind selling a few games, at a low price.
