Once UC coach leaves they go get the youngest/best assistant at Ohio St hire him and do his things for a few years until he leaves. Kind of like Butler basketball was there for awhile.

Headline in today's Cincy Enquirer sports page reads....NOT AGAIN. But the article under it talks about Fickell's close relationship with Dantonio. Coaching together at OSU. Quotes him as having said he wouldn't want to go to MSU if Dantonio was being forced out...only if he was leaving on his own terms. Article speaks of how much he and his family (6 kids) like Cincinnati. The new UC AD has his work cut out for him, just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I am a UC fan but it is a good job. He's got a good class coming in as well. Just picked up a commit from a 4star WR previously committed to Illinois....Jadon Thompson. I believe IU had offered him too. All this info regarding Fickell aside, I still think there's a good chance he jumps at an offer from East Lansing.

jv1972iu Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 It will be a tough decision for Fickell. UC will do whatever they can from a money standpoint. Fickell has two big time local commits in Evan Prater and Jaheim Thomas. Prater is a 4star QB, Mr. Football for Ohio and Thomas is a 4star linebacker who had offers from around the country, MSU, LSU, possibly OSU (not sure). This class ranks as one of, if not the best in UC football history. So, that will factor in as well. But we all know how the coaching world/wheel can work. Especially when a Power 5 opportunity comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either a former coach like Bielema (Big 10 guy) who is hiding in the NFL....or maybe a clean guy like Al Golden who is doing the same?? College staffs are pretty much filled. Only took 6 days for Bielema to do his back channels for Sparty gig. Figured his name would show up after Fickell withdrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Arizona President came out and said he just doesn't see college football happening in the fall. The irony though is he does see in person classes for students. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleges will probably be the last thing to return to normal. Let's take 40,000 people from all over the world and put them together in a big group every day. That's my biggest worry for football this fall. I don't know if colleges will even be back by this fall. If they aren't, I don't see football happening.

TheWatShot Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just make the big-time programs not play for a year. OSU, Michigan, Penn State, etc. Can't have 100,000 people in one place. Here at IU, we wouldn't have that problem. Game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 First domino just fell. Cal State universities just came out and said no fall classes which means no fall sports. If I was a UCLA, USC, Stanford.....or perhaps a Fresno St coach I'd be a tad nervous about what's going to happen. Everyone could say no big deal.....or you might see mass departures of recruits who want to go to a state where football will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a ton of logistics that would have to go into that, but football money is how athletic departments survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain states that want to act a certain way....which they certainly have a right to do. Football will happen this fall both in college and NFL in most states. My concern is how will bowl eligibility be impacted if let's say we have 3-4 opponents on our schedule this fall who reside in states that interpret data a certain way. We have games vs UConn, Maryland, Rutgers, and Illinois. As it stands today and today only. No clue what will happen. I'm sure IU has contingencies being discussed to get other opponents just in case. At least I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if there are many states that are not ready for football, it will be an NCAA choice to not have football. I don't think individual states will have much say in it.
