  1. Enough of the woe is me. It’s one game. Learn and move on. Wait until mid season to start the replace the coach mumbo jumbo. It’s insufferable to read such in week two.
  2. Towson University will issue prorated refunds for housing, dining and parking charges, as well as the athletics fee and the auxiliary services fee. Towson will refund 51% of fees related to athletics, intramurals, student recreation, student activity, sustainability and student union operations. That would be half of $17.39 million coming in from student fees which makes up 69% of the budget. In other words, this could be as much as a $8,695,000 budget cut for Athletics for FY20. http://cafidatabase.knightcommission.org/fcs/towson-university#!quicktabs-tab-where_the_money-1 https://www.baltimoresun.com/coronavirus/bs-md-college-park-refunds-20200403-w5czosjnynedrmwx5mj7qf3y3e-story.html

    No chatter about Towson Football in the wake of the fall season being cancelled. No communication from TL or RA. Will anyone outside of the people on this board and the players/coaches actually miss the team not playing this season?

    Towson Refunding Prorated Athletic Fee

    Story on Delaware Athletics fee from June 2020 https://www.delawareonline.com/story/sports/2020/06/25/effort-improve-sports-teams-university-delaware-pays-more-than-most/5310993002/ Delaware receives 86.25% of its athletic funding from the university, ranking it ninth among the 230 Division I schools in the USA Today compilation. Among the eight ahead of Delaware was CAA rival Towson (87.17%).

    Towson Refunding Prorated Athletic Fee

    $500 per term/semester which is $1,000 per year, fall/spring semester.

    And there it is....

    If there is no vaccine, there is no NCAA basketball season, and there will be no spring football. The NCAA is not going to do a spring FCS Championship, and so any games played will be no more than exhibitions.

    I find it interesting that so few posters here seem to care about economics and Towson Athletics.

    2020 CAA season

    So you think Towson is more marketable because we're in a big tv market? It's doesn't really matter where you are located if no one cares about the program.Towson's season just got cancelled and there are not 15 unique responses on the topic on the only message board.

    2020 CAA season

    If you're a top level college player, why would you even play in the spring? The NFL Draft is April 29 – May 1, 2021 in Cleveland, Ohio, so if you're a projected early round pick why would you ever play a spring season? Some guys sit out bowl games now - extend that time frame out and there is 0 logic from an elite player perspective. A guy live Trevor Lawrence has likely played his last college game if there is no fall football.

    2020 CAA season

    The Ivy is different as they do not play in the playoffs and they march to their own drummer. CAA April only football is also not logical as that's 4 weeks. April 3-10-17-24. Even if you add in May 1-8-15 and you can only get in 7 games before the last day of classes on May 18 after which Athletics would have to pay for extra housing, food service, etc... 4 more weeks of regular season, then playoffs? Not going to happen for a non revenue generating NCAA Championship. The NCAA will not sponsor a playoff in FCS for 2020, or a spring 2021, so now you are just playing games to play games, adding up expenses and going deeper in the red. Good luck with that.

    2020 CAA season

    FBS schools are not going to play FCS schools are there is no $$$ to pay them without fans in attendance, en masse. JMU does not want to be in FCS anymore and this is their chance to make a break for the door.

    2020 CAA season

    Outside of the families of the players, coaches and former players, plus 600 fans, no one really cares if Towson plays football or not. Students could care less, and that's backed up by their non attendance despite being given free admission for their hefty student fee paid to athletics. The CAA is a hoops league, and since VCU and Mason left, it's been a bad hoops league. One bid hell. Given that 7 of the 12 CAA Football schools are not in the league for other sports, you could well see the CAA dropping football altogether and letting a new entity pick up the torch. America East Football?

    Early Signing Day Thread

    Welcome back to the discussion after taking 88 days off eTiger. You must have been busy getting ready for the Playoff Tailgate.

    Early Signing Day Thread

    Good lord, it's early signing day for the 3rd time ever. Chime back in come February. No one worth a damn would commit to an FCS school if they had a chance of going FBS. That's just common sense.

    Athletic Department Ideas/Suggestions

    100 posts and 4,700 views is what Maryland's page has in a day. It takes Towson 6 weeks. You're making the Towson2006 point here Mat. Save for the small group here, it's a pretty small circle of give a shit.

    Early Signing Day Thread

    Why would anyone commit early to Towson or any FCS program? If we had signed a big number today that would be settling for lower tier players. Anyone that commits to an FCS school in December has no legitimate prospects for signing at a upper level school, which means that they are lesser-than level talent. This is a poker game now a days, so the real time frame to watch for significant pops will be February signing day plus the week following. You gotta get lucky. T-West wasn't a signing day story... Time for RA to be a recruiter and work the magic.

    Athletic Department Ideas/Suggestions

    This is exactly the problem with Towson Athletics. When a, assistant professor, who self-proclaims to be active in the recruiting process, actually questions if winning really matters, it's tremendously revealing as to the vibe surrounding the program. Does the school really care? Should they really care? For all of the hysteria that comes from this board and the 4-5 dozen people who actually post, the reality is that in the big picture, no one on campus, save for the players, their girlfriends and the coaches really cares about winning or losing. Playing North Dakota State is nostalgic and perhaps significant in the FCS world, but that game is a likely Towson loss, as is the game the following week, cross-country, at San Diego State. If the CAA puts a tough game in there on September 11 following the September 4 opener at Morgan State, this could be a really rough start to the 2021 season. Tigers need to go 7-1 in the CAA or likely will be at home again in the playoffs. It's a name opponent, but none of the students who will be in school in 2021 will care about the 2013 National Championship rematch hype - to them, it's just another game against a FCS opponent. And the chance that NDSU is going to bring thousands of fans to this game is remote. Honest question... who is the head coach of Towson in 2021?

    Wonder if TV is a part of this series?

    What we're missing

    One thing we absolutely do NOT need is more shooters. We have a roster of shooters. What we need is a few MAKERS.

    This is not a productive thread, as it is inherently negative. That being said, I would offer the following as additional, epic, regular season losses; 2016 at Dartmouth < loss on the road to non-scholarship program 2014 vs Central Connecticut State < 1st home game after FCS Championship Game appearance & loss to head coach in his 1st game as head coach of reduced scholarship 2012 vs Old Dominion < 11 point home loss, where best player in program history had altercation w/ head coach and walked off the field
  24. It's November. Little we see right now will resemble what we see on the could in 6 weeks, much less 3.5 months from now.
  25. Don Metil may be one of the best coaches on campus, along with the lacrosses, track and field, and women's hoops. Now, if we can only put some much needed resources into the Field Hockey Program... things would really take off. "This is the Golden Age of Towson Athletics" Towson2006
