If the university isn't paying for it, then who is?

The kids were responsible for paying. I assume most of them had substantial help from their families.

One would think, unless you got a Nino Brown type on the team and truly believes in being ALL his brothers' keeper.

CMU recruiting class posted today.

33 players from 15 states. On the smaller side (quality over quantity, of course, but still...it's nice to bring in large classes of fresh bodies every year).

UAA football will cease to exist after 2017. Wash is joining CCIW and will most likely have only one OOC game which will be with Chicago.

Chicago will depart SAA as well after 2016, but no conference affiliation has been announced. Seven-team NACC could be an option.

I hope it doesn't, but PAC could go all NESCAC and play 10 conference games. But it could make scheduling easier by adding a ninth PAC game.

Looking ahead to August, Spartans start practice Aug 13 and scrimmage BW on Aug 29.

Spartan coaches on the recruiting trail; Coach David at Texas Select -- Coach Miller at Cornell.

ADL,

If Chicago and Wash U. are indeed coming off the schedule, then I'd prefer to see us have two more non-conference "intersectional" opponents annually. In Division I-FBS, teams generally play seven or eight conference games, and then schedule non-conference opponents to round out the schedule. I prefer that, and prefer that Division III conferences do the same.

A schedule featuring all conference opponents does not appeal to me at all.

I'd like to see us renew our rivalries with Wooster and Oberlin.

Spartan coaches continuing recruiting; Coach David @ Cornell #2, Coach Slesh @ Dartmouth, Coach Lolli @ Penn, and Coach Macalla @ Yale.

What exactly are they doing at those schools?

Good news for CWRU, G Seamus McDonald (6'3 270) appears to be returning after vanishing following last season's opener. He played in eight games his freshman year and started all nine games in 2013 and game one last year.

He was All-Ohio SM as a hs senior.

CWRU preview:

Big loss -- Everett Dishong -- who played in only five games last season due to injury (and only parts of two of those), but still was fifth on the team in tackles, will miss this whole season.

Your son has contributed much to the team.

From previous posts I surmise that your younger son plays lacrosse.

Updated CWRU roster with newcomers:

http://athletics.case.edu/sports/fball/2015-16/roster

I hadn't notice the absence of Bianco previously, but there is lots of depth at RB. From what I've heard, perhaps the best of the four sophomore RBs didn't have a carry with the varsity last season due to injury.

A few reported recruits aren't listed, but from one of their twitter accounts it appears at least one is planning to show up. Probably just hasn't returned his SID form.

QB Tyler Schovanek, a graduate student transfer from Carroll (WI), where he made a few starts the last two season, adds depth at QB.

The other is really interesting, David Khanin was a classmate of last season's leading rusher Anthony Canganelli, at Mayfield High. He was a three-year starter and two-time All District OT. The roster lists him at 6'0 270, but his hs roster in 2013 listed him at 6'3 300. I couldn't find any information about his whereabouts last year.

Also interesting Receivers Coach -- John Pont -- that name should resonate with the boomers out there.

This guy?

Per his FB page he left Akron in January. Grandson of legendary coach and son-in-law of Terry Bowden.
