Marshall is Absolutely Pathetic for Withdrawing

- Start date
I think it is more embarrassing for the NCAA and the state of college athletics...

Well if you only have
Well if Marshall is down to 41 players and 3 offensive linemen, how do you play the game?
I don't blame the kids, this is on Benedict Huff and his coaches.
You can’t send 35 rookies to play a team that should be in the playoffs. We would have Bern beaten bad and many might have gotten injured.
I don't get it.
Players aren't forced into the portal.
Players have always been loyal to the coaches and that was the issue with the transfer rules.
Now they are free to follow.
The timing is the issue. Open the portal post national title.

Any player who deserted Marshall shouldn’t get another chance… any coach who assisted in this mess with Huffstee shouldn’t get another coaching gig.. the portal sucks anyway, ruined college football!
Pathetic look for University, hopefully NCAA changes portal dates as well.. Portal needs reworked immediately!
We need to hire the Offensive Line Coach that huff ran off after the ND game
The players made the decision to leave not huff. We can't solely blame huff
This isn’t on Huff. This is on the players, NCAA and the portal. The NCAA and the big boys don’t care.
Does this include fans who claim to never attend another Marshall game again because they lose a game, or the toilets look bad, or the dozen other dumb things you whine about on the daily...then ultimately come back to MU because you can't keep your word?
Oh, just the players and not you...
Gotcha.
It’s this.
This is a product of the portal issues. They shouldn’t open up the transfer portal until after the bowl season/season.
This was eventually going to happen. It sucks it was Marshall.
Still doesn’t tarnish a really fun season.
The NCAA won't notice until someone who matters has this happen...but even then, they'll likely be able to fill their roster opening.
Disagree with the last statement. It absolutely tarnishes a fun season. Every convo will go like this
-Hey remember when Marshall won the sunbelt in 2024
- oh yeah wasn't that the year they let the coach go after winning a championship and then had to puss out of a bowl game?
Remember when you all complained that unless it's a NY6 or now, CFP, the bowls don't matter?
Yeah, Karma does.
Oh and your last statement is false because MU didn't let the coach go.
The self control in have to not tear you a new one because of your incompetence, has shown tremendous improvement on my end.
Good for you do you want a cookie? The meaningless toilet paper bowl doesn't matter. It's just an extra game. Bowl games used to be an honor now over half the teams from fbs go bowling. So yes when the majority of teams go they tend to become meaningless
“Guys, we’ve been through a lot together and you know I’ve always had your back. We’ve become champions together! Can you believe now that this backward school won’t even offer me a new contract? They are running me out the door. It just ain’t right! You all do what you want, but I would never put on that jersey again. Remember our slogan, it’s us against everybody!”
Yep, player’s had a choice.
Army in the playoffs? Cmon now
It’s wild how bent up everyone is that we aren’t playing in a bowl game with a team that would have struggled to defend their option, coaches that would have been able to pull it together quickly, and not get stomped by 45. It would have been more embarrassing than to regroup, rebuild, and recover.
We won the conference championship and were picked 5th in the division at the beginning of the season.
Coach did his job. The players got their conference championship. Let them all go about their business.

The coach chose to not sign an extension and also chose to leave. You are perpetuating the attempts to undermine the administration.
The loyalty some are showing to someone who has seemingly held MU, and you and me, in contempt from virtually day 1 and continues to do so really boggles the mind...
Pathetic look for the University would be getting beat 66-3 like FSU. This is a pathetic look for the NCAA and the NIL. Who didn't see this coming? Unfortunately it is MU that is the one in the unenviable position that was bound to happen sooner rather than later...
I have never been more disappointed in a program than I am now. I mean we won the Sun Belt Conference and it was like as soon as the game was over we could not celebrate. Huff wanted out of town so bad the players didn't even get to enjoy the celebration when they got back. Now we don't have enough players wanting to play in the Independence Bowl vs Army. Lost our coach and half our team from a program that a week ago won the conference title.....very hard to comprehend. These NIL contracts need to include playing in the bowl game in order to get your final installment.
I have been thinking the exact things. MU could be the impetus to change this glaring weakness in the NIL.
That’s the last person we need to hire
The current OL coach is 10x better
Yup, those are the parts that we know are factual.
So far, what Huff told players remains hearsay, regardless of how pissed everyone is at him.
Still, the optics of this debacle are bad, real bad.
You give Marshall to much credit. The ncaa doesn't give two sh!ts about what happens at Marshall with regards to the portal
Beg to disagree. I've never believed the NCAA cares about anything but the NCAA. This could put enough public and media pressure on them though.
