I changed the poll to be more Eastern Comprehensive....I will try to put up a new poll every day and post the results of the previous one. 

WUMAC

Got a question, about money and D3playoffs, from the Wilkes athletic it says

"Tickets for Saturday's game will be available at the gate, which will open at 11:00 a.m., and are priced at $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for students. No athletic passes of any kind will be accepted. "

I was wondering where does the money go that is collected from the gates? Being that it sounds like it is a NCAA rule on pricing.

Goes to the NCAA, oddly enough.

In return, playoff participants get a per diem, the visiting team gets its travel and lodging paid for, etc.

Anyone care to explain their votes on the pool above?

I will start.... I picked that 3 home teams would win. 

Right now, I believe That Rowan will be able to get by Hobart using their pretty good defense combined with the offense that has really come on lately, by a score of 24-14.

Wilkes will have some trouble with W&L, but will win 28-24.

Curry has no shot in my opinion really, but who knows...I will pick SC 38-24.

And that leaves me Union and Fisher.....And I already said that I think one road team wins......  I think when Union is on, they can beat anyone in the bracket. I look for it to be a shootout 31-28 Union.

So pat, in turn if there is a surplus of money it goes in to NCAAs pocket? Or does it rarely come out like that?

If say the NCAA does retain the surplus, and if all the games are in surplus how does the NCAA use the surplus? I thought NCAA was a non-profit org. (Maybe wrong) i guess the whole point is who is governing the NCAA i mean do they release the numbers and show it on a financial statement?

In the playoffs, nearly all expenses are covered by the NCAA... I doubt there's THAT much of a surplus, if any.

dea

Both Union and Hobart will win on the road ....2 home teams win.

WUMAC

If Rowans O comes to play they win a close one if they have -2 turnovers they lose. (Rowan)

With you on Curry no chance

Taking fisher based on common opp. scores (although both teams played Rochester and Springfield early in season)

Finally,

Wilkes, i think there are 3 factors that will work in Wilkes favor this weekend. The first being the 6hr bus trip for W&L i doubt they will be flying. 2nd will be the Wilkes crowd as Pat knows and reported that the students are very serious and upbeat about Wilkes ball this year and i am sure the will be in rare form. Finally weather it is forcasted to rain for next 2 days and on thurs plus all the rain NEPA has already got, the ground is very saturated up here, and Wilkes field is not the best when wet. thus i think you will see a stellar preformence by the Wilkes D and stopping the run. Also it will be in the 30's on sat not sure how much of a change that is down in Lexington.   

Wilkes wins +7

There isn't a surplus. I believe the budget committee does release statements to support this.

You'd think with all the money they save on not sending teams on flights....

I'm just kidding!

Union lost to Springfield 38-30 first game of the season
                SJF  lost to Springfield   55-38  seventh game of season
                Union beat Rochester 27-24  fourth game of the season
                SJF beat Rochester  30-10  second game of the season
        Seems like you can't make much of anything out of this.

I concur...I think the Union/Fisher game will be the most entertaining of the 4 East Region games, if nothing else. 

superman57

when you get to the playoffs you have to throw out all the games before so here is what I think

Union is coming off a loss, in a rival game, not a good way to enter the playoffs
Union is playing on the road in a place that I feel the students will be out in full force and lets not forget that fisher parents can be quite vicisous, sorry ER

I think it comes down to the d's Union's d gives up an average of 20.2  While Fishers D' Gives up an average of around 12

The offenses fisher scores an average of 40
and union scores around 30


So I think as much as everyone wants Union to win, I think the Fisher D stands a better chance at stopping the Union O then the Union D stoping Fisher's o

You're the only dood on the board that doesn't know & accept that '57 can't spell.

Poor grammar and horrible spelling... it's just how he rolls.
