If you are going to give the VU football program a pass for getting it's doors blown off on Saturday night because Valpo is a "basketball school", don't you think you should afford YSU's non football sports the same courtesy since Youngstown is a football school? No. Valpo stinks (at the present ) in football. Youngstown State stinks in every meaningful sport. Check the Horizon League records.

You are 100% correct, there are no DIII schools offering scholarships, but there are DII schools offering scholarships. My mistake. I know you and I have been over this before, and we'll never agree. That's okay, it makes for a good discussion. However, I think it's funny that VU wants to compete on a D1 level in everything else, but hey, in football, let's just field a glorified intramural team. Oh, and with that glorified intramural team we're going to schedule YSU, a 4 time National Champion in 1-AA. Explain to me how that makes any sense? In other sports Valpo competes with the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, South Carolina, and Oklahoma but in football it's St. Joe and Franklin. Huh? Look, I am not expecting them to turn into Boise State, or even Youngstown State, but it would be nice to play a game against a real actual football program (a scholarship 1-AA team)and compete on the level which they are assigned to play (even if they don't like it). Western Illinois is a real actual football program (a scholarship 1-AA team). Oh yeah, how's Youngstown State doing in other sports?? Western Illinois is a real I-AA team that offers scholarships even. However, I didn't realize that getting beat 45-0 and getting outgained on offense 569 to 131 was competetive. I call that gettting your a** kicked, what do you call it? And yes, Youngstown State pretty much sucks at everything else, but at last check we are talking about football here not the women's soccer team, or the men's track team.
