MBB: Landmark Conference

The conference is getting seven figures to divide among 10 schools and five years, making it a little over 20K per school per year.

From that, the schools have to purchase a whole bunch of equipment from Flo, and from the rest of the money they'll have to hire more camera operators, after which maybe they'll have money left to invest in more broadcasters or training or whatever.

Dave McHugh had an excellent thread on this on Twitter yesterday:

I don't want to "Landmark bash", but after reading Dave's excellent thread on Twitter....................SHAME on you, Landmark Conference. There is squatta redeeming about this deal, for everybody and anybody interested in the Landmark.

You can't put yourself out there as a NESCAC, UAA, heck, even Centennial Conference quasi-equivalent.........and then sign this break-even or even money losing deal. A couple of successful alums could have thrown some pocket change at their respective college or university and made this go away.

First comes two MAC and a Keystone invite. Next comes Flo for chump change. I smell Lackawanna and Clarks Summit in the Landmark's future if they are willing to write a small check to be split up by the current schools!

All of the money goes to Flo?!?! THAT is a hard pass from this D3 lover. Even the MAC and the PSAC are snickering at this deal!!

Agreed.
This "deal" smells like a week old crab cake baking in the Baltimore heat.
How about the Commish tries a little explaining as to how this contract is in everyone's best interest. 
So far, nothing but crickets from the respective schools.

 Scranton's 23-24 roster (returning players only) is up.  Looks Like Colucci and Braaten are no longer on the team.  Nothing official on the 4 freshmen or any possible transfers.

Woof, very light across that front line.

It is August, how about some news on recruits and schedule from the office on Linden Street.

From the xfer board: Steven Braunstein is going to play his extra season for Stevens.

Nice article on Pat Miller of Whitewater.

Geez, he wins 2 National Championships, countless trips with deep runs in the tournament & goes to the Final Four last year & is gracious enough to turn the program over to his assistant after 22 years with a ton of talent returning.

Although the UofS has had no such success under our current coach in the same time period as Miller's tenure, perhaps turning the program over one of these years could be a good first step in the rejuvenation process of a once proud program.

And now as a football conference, you can watch Keystone take on Wilkes. Not quite Alabama at Georgia................that comes when Clarks Summit and Lackawanna get the Landmark invite. Get your tickets now and arrive at the tailgate early. Parking is limited!!!

People keep bringing these things to this board, but instead, send an email to the athletic department.

Scanned about 20 Mid-Atlantic possibilities; no one has Scranton on their nonconference schedule.
