At least it looks like we are bringing in stronger more athletic players.

A lot of those losses were by very few runs and we are still for the most part a young team and just need to regroup in the offseason and get back at it and start doing the basics a bit better.

The 2024 Herd baseball team absolutely does not fit the "young team" description in any way.  We're losing nearly 75% of our starts from the everyday-8 (Ayers, Hondras, Ferraro, Firestone, Smith, and Kaiser) to graduation, we're losing 75% of our starting pitching rotation (losing Harlow, Heiner, and Lyles with only Blevins returning), and nearly half of the entire roster (17 players) walked on Senior Day.

We do return Blevins as an ace starting pitcher, and Harthan returns making 42 starts this past year leading the team in batting average and stolen bases.  We have a smattering of other production in Havrilla, Vogleson, and Peralta, but they all need to improve their averages at the plate.  The 2025 team should look and feel completely different to this year's team as a full rebuild is essentially in effect.  As mentioned above, there are two or three players in the incoming class that might be among the most heralded recruits Marshall baseball has ever landed.  I think next season should be the "young team" year.

Soccer is deffo the cream of the crop right now for the Herd from a success standpoint(Stating the obvious I know). Need to keep on getting the fans to these games and keep on being a powerhouse.

Living in NC, their is really no reason for me to be a season ticket holder(Love the Herd but that almost 5 hour drive up the mountain is harsh haha), but do try to come up for at least one home game a season and expect to do the same next season.

Yes from an outsider's perspective a final season record of 19-37 and 9-21 in the Conference seems pretty putrid, but I think it is quite deceiving. A lot of those losses were by very few runs and we are still for the most part a young team and just need to regroup in the offseason and get back at it and start doing the basics a bit better.

Not saying all of a sudden we will win the SBC next season, nothing like that, but I did see some marked improvement over this season and feel good that next year will be better.

This is just talk.  All of those schools are under contract including the new adds until 2036.  That's why FSU and Clemson are still there.  They signed the grant of rights and are obligated until then.  If they leave whatever money they get from either the Big 10 or SEC would go to the ACC.

Big difference between keeping revenue schools and kicking out leeches.  GOR doesn't apply in the latter.  I would imagine some kind of compensation would be due those schools, removed, for their shares in the conference, however, it won't help SMU, Cal, and Stanford.  Cal and Stanford would be better off shoring up the MWC merger with Wash St and Oregon St and probably preventing Air Force from wanting to join the new proposed league and just staying put.  That cross-country travel isn't justified at G5 or slightly better TV money.
