Better start hydrating now for high noon in G-Vegas.
I went in ‘09 and vowed to never go back to a September day game in Greenville they should be illegal.

Luckily staying away from Greenville is an extremely easy promise to keep.

We have a real shot.
We need someone willing to put down a foundational gift. There are only a few in our sphere capable.

I wish we could tap more into the Fl seasonal population.

Re: UNCG, UNCW, UNCC All get more money from Raleigh

Why does App need a medical school? To serve the western third of NC? To raise the level of care in Boone and the rest of the community? To help with the shortage of doctors and increase access to care? To advance research capabilities? To build the depth and breadth of studies offered? To build an...

Re: 2026 Team Previews

Some of the cfb leagues have gone to unequal revenue sharing as well.

The SEC has discussed it also. Why should Ga/bammer/Texas etc make the same as miss st/ark/so car?

Re: 2026 Team Previews

There's less than 10 Clark players left, and half of them are walkons who never play. NIL funding is up multiple times over. Season tickets still sold out. No excuses for Dowell. I know it's Year Two, but there's too much at stake. In CFB, you either win or make people feel good about their team to...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

Just my 2 cents. We would be better off going into the smaller towns than Charlotte. Charlotte is full of people from the Northeast and Midwest. The folks from the Northeast don’t care about college football and the other folks belong to Ohio State and Michigan. It’s where our largest alumni base i...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I think the question is, head coach in waiting or just a brief stop until something else comes along. Given he isn't in a specific football role he may not be looking at going for football coaching position currently. I was thinking of a role in line with developing a more cohesive football alumni ...

Re: UNCG, UNCW, UNCC All get more money from Raleigh

The only way for App to get a med school is to convince the legislature to invest in hickory and have hickory grow as an exurb of Charlotte (possible) which provides easy access from CLT and Asheville so not bad. Or, less likely but more interesting IMO convince the state we can administer UNCA to s...

I hate to suggest a tarhole but if kerns goes do we kick the tires on Davis? He’s from W-S He couldn't win with a $20M roster. What do you think he'd do with $300K?

Re: 4 year schools compared in new analysis

I recently saw a list of NC colleges that shows current freshman statistics. App was 5th in NC behind UNC, Duke, NC State, and UNCC for number of applications received. Surprisingly, WCU and Wingate were 7th and 8th on the list for number of applications. If accurate, several NC public schools have...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I ask this in all seriousness- in the current environment especially at the G5 level is the head coach really the most important job anymore in football? It’s beginning to sound more like you really need a great GM and scouting department over a great coach. Don’t get me wrong I know you need a goo...

Re: Offseason thread: recruiting, transfer portal schedule, general discussion

Rather big development. Dionte Neal has decommitted from UNCG after their MBB head coaching change. One of the best NC high school athletes in recent memory. NC Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior. Averaging over 35 PPG this season. Top football recruit too. He wants to play both bas...

Re: Sun Belt Tournament 2026

Sun belt is too spread out and not basketball centric.

I do wonder if it was closer to the eastern fanbases (say Roanoke VA) it would be better attended
