"University budgets are increasingly pinched by reduction in state support and tuition freezes."
Flushing around a $100 million between two investment scams and a geothermal green energy boondoggle doesn't help either. BSU needs to fix itself before complaining about state funding issues.

Winning is the obvious #1
#2 Scheduling
Playing VMI, EMU, UMASS, Colgate, Illinois State, SEMO, Liberty, North Texas, WKU, New Hampshire are part of the problem in the last 5-10 years.
When 15-20% of your home games are played against FCS teams, and teams you have no business losing to, that's a problem.
During the Hoke years (when I was in school) We had night games against Indiana State, Boston College, Indiana, Bowling Green and the place was full of energy! It was a great time.
More recently, our night games against USF, Miami, Navy have all were fun and memorable. I am not saying we need to do night games, but the time and schedules are important in drawing a good crowd.
#3 Parking--- The parking situation and issues have plagued the school for a while. Just when I thought things were looking up with the 4 hour tailgate, they stopped it this year and didn't tell anyone.
#4 And quite arguably the new #1 ... November midweek ESPN games.
Its safe to say at least 1 game per season will fall into this bucket.. There is another 15-20%
So now we have 30-40% of your season wasted on a midweek conference game and a playing against a school nobody wants to watch.
I am ok with 1 weeknight game, but we usually have 4 per season...

Hate to see you sitting out the bowl season Cedar. Take solace in the 2016 intro of Valravn.......I'd love to make a late fall sojourn to experience that "pee your pants" experience!

Bowl games are a good time, and we will get back to one soon enough.
2016 will be a good year in Sandusky. There has been a nice addition of roller coasters between CP, Kings Island and Holiday World lately. No complaints here.
