So, and I really think we need to know, but why is there such a war between the AD and Mac? What happened? I know that the players were somewhat out of control last year and the team under achieved, but they were young and inexperienced. He is an excellent recruiter and can really develop coaches.

I'll be very honest, I really like Bovee and what he is doing at Weber. Our facilities are improving every year, the teams are fairly competitive, and he has made some decent hires (still scratching my head over the 105K salary for our WBBALL coach, but she is one HELL of a recruiter. I know none of use care, but I think the WBBALL team will be pretty damn good in the future). Yet at the same time, how can I not like Mac too?

It is because of Mac that Weber is in a position to PISS EXCELLENCE on the football field. I'm a bit scared that the team took a serious step in the wrong direction under Smith, when Eck, Rodgers, McGiven and Clune (each connected to Mac somehow) all would have kept our team moving in the right direction. I know it is easier looking back and saying the AD should have done this or that, but...he made the best decision at the time. We were, for the most part, pretty excited to have Smith as our coach. To bad he turned into a Judas dooshbag and screwed us over. Now, its a crapshoot. I like Sears, but I'm not sure he is the right man for the job, right now. I will be extremely pleased if he proves me wrong.

In my opinion, It might be best not to pay Sears the full HC salary. Save some cash for the next coach. If Sears does a good job, seems to be recruiting well, and is keeping the team moving in the right direction, then remove the interim label and let him take over the team for a bit and get the full pay. If not, and the team, loaded with talent (a team that should have won 3 more games last year, but...well, as Lucifer Smith would say "the coaches are killing the team, the players are working their asses off and the coaches are screwing it up for them.") underachieves, then the AD has some extra cash available to him to make a hire with. Also, he should have saved the money Ark paid out for Smith. I know it was only 35K, but to Weber, that is HUGE. Take that cash, and the money not fully being used (Sears was suppose to make between 40K and 60K, the HC was scheduled to make 135K, as interim, Weber should pay him 100K and keep the other 35K), and use it toward the a new coach.

Pflu, at the UM, was only making 150K. Weber could sign a contract with McGiven, an example (my opinion, he would be a great HC for the Cats), for 160K, making him the highest paid coach in the Big Sky. That says a lot; especially for our league and our level of football, which is better than Idahlol.

Is this actual information, or pure speculation? Not discounting what has been written, but to me it seems a bit far-fetched. Nice conspiracy theory. Bovee hates Mac, thus he hates good coaches who could help our team and program, because they were once associated with Mac? Not to be insulting, but I want to hear about actual sources. I will say, there is a chance that the above is correct, not much, but a chance.

Any tool/troll from athletics would say this. Something occurred at some point that caused Mac's and Bovee relationship to sour. I heard some stories from some rather interesting sources that made me believe that there was something unbeknownst to the fans that was occurring. I'm not going to say who my source is other than he was connected to the football program. I wrote what I heard as rumour and nothing more, but was hoping for some discussion.
 
The 3 tier world you project already exists. Currently, it is simply shuffling around. You have your BCS conferences, your non-BCS but bowl eligible conferences (e.g., MWC, MAC, etc.) . A few teams are going up in the football world (USU) and a few are going down (Idaho). I don't see much changing for Weber and the Sky in the near future. We may see the trisections in college football being formalized, but I don't see Weber or the BSC moving up within the next 5 years.
 
You are right, Waldo. However, I think there will be a push by the BCS leagues to gaine more control of the money, and not allow other FBS leagues to participate. I think that there will also be some moves by the lower FBS leagues to control costs in an effort to stop hemeraging money. They may move to reduce scholarships, cut back on travel, and that sort of thing. They may try to keep some sort of a bowl system, if they can, somehow, gain more control of the money. If not, they will move toward a championship of some sort. Twenty years from now it will be back to the two subdivisions. Everything old will be new again. :twocents:
