    Re: SCSU Off-season thread 2; DL's NOT DEAD!

    Since when is the purpose of college sports to make money?
    And how are they shoving football down your throat?
    I barely hear a thing about the football team and they certainly didn't advertise it much when Rabib was a student.

      Yeah, but I agree with SCSU Euro, especially considering on Saturday, October 24, 2009, the Men's Football team is scheduled to play the Univeristy of Mary at 2:30 PM at Husky Stadium and the Men's Hockey team is scheduled to play UMD at 7:37 PM at the NHC.

      Why didn't Kurtz schedule Homecoming for October 24th?

        The fact is the athletic budget at SCSU comes out of the general fund and that money being lost hurts the type of education every students recieves at SCSU. I am not saying all sports should make money, but football not only loses a ton of money, but it forces the school to have more sports than it should( title 9) that will lose even more money. The ripple effect is why football should go.

        As for down our throat. within the last couple years I read they didn't have hockey at homecoming one year because they wanted homecoming to be about football. Nobody care's about Football. when are they going realize that?

          Has anyone ever heard of a homecoming hockey game?
          I sure haven't.
          To me, I hear homecoming, I think football.
          As for the rest of it TB, that's your opinion.

            Yeah, I see that side of it. If you asked me would I rather have a Homecoming game actually at home or against a team like Miami, I'd say its personally a wash, but for the good of the program, you'd have to go with playing in Miami. Just hope Kurtz then gives us Miami next year over Homecoming, but not holding my breath...

            In college? No. But that's 'cause I've only gone to SCSU, where we don't do that. But high schools have Homcoming football, soccer, volleyball... whatever they have a fall game for, there's a Homecoming game. At least that's how it was in my school, but I dunno, maybe my district was unique in that aspect.

              I thought the main game at homecoming was "Hide the Sausage"

                That's a good one, but I don't get to live it up nearly as often as I used to, so now when I go back to Cloud for Homecoming, I prefer to play "Wait.... I did WHAT?!?" the next morning.

                  Watching D2 football (any sport for that matter) is worse than watching bowling Sunday afternoons on ESPN. I am astonished there is such a thing as D2/3 sports...waste of scholarship money, and it's not like anyone besides parents and guilty boyfriend/girlfriends watch them anyways...

                    Homecoming at most schools is about football. Of course at SCSU we don't like to be like everybody else. Homecoming at SCSU from what I have been told has always been about the party, not football. I started in the early 90's and it was that way. I know quite a few people who went there in the 80's and it was the same thing. From what Skeeterman has said it was the same in the 70's as well. I don't think having hockey on homecoming changes anything. The same 1,000 fans will be at the football watching them lose no matter if there is hockey or not.

                      At SCSU you are correct. However, in Hillbilly land North Dakota they loved D2 football. NDSU actually drew like 15k a game for D2 football.

                        If that were true, the non-revenue sports would not exist.

                        Even in HS, there is no homecoming hockey game as it's a winter sport
                        Point is that sports wise, homecoming means football, whether it's D2 D3 or whatever level.

                          Go check out a St. John's game once, it's only 10 minutes or so away.

                            Two thoughts: 1) There are non-revenue sports oftentimes so the college can look better and more well-rounded, 'cause if all the big ones had was football and men's basketball, that doesn't look good. 2) What's that pesky thing between Title VIII and Title X again?

                              The non-revenue sports aren't just female sports.
                              I'm just saying, if the only goal was money, there'd be ways around it.
