Despite some reports and posts on our forums that the proposed Battle for Northeast Ohio between Akron, Cleveland State, Kent State, and Youngstown State will not come to fruition this year, the Akron Beacon-Journal is stating otherwise. In an article from April 24th, the Beacon's Tom Gaffney wrote, "In other basketball developments, Dambrot said that Cleveland State and Youngstown State will be on the home schedule for the 2010-11 season."

We are going to try to work our sources to see if the match-up between Youngstown State and Kent State is still intact or not. According to one of our posters in our forums, the Kent State message board was stating YSU had backed out of the contract with them, which is something we cannot confirm.

We will keep a close eye on this scheduling situation between those four schools for you, but for attendance reasons, we expect this four-way battle to take place this season.

It is my hope that someday YSU moves up to the BCS and joins the MAC, or better yet, an all-sports conference is formed comprised of Ohio schools including the above and others (Miami, Toledo, Wright State...). The regional interest, apparel and ticket sales would likely explode for all schools involved.

I realize this topic has been discussed to death, and that YSU has many huge technical obstacles to attain BCS status...but its fun to dream.
