I want to help out, Bobcat Love. Seriously. Let's see if I got this straight:
1.) Keep bringing up the breach of fiduciary responsibility regarding away football scheduling, because once a mark, always a mark. In other words, know our worth, and we should be able to demand more than just a million dollars, which is a chump change portion of what these big time programs are getting.
2.) If Comer and Gonzalez get caught without a backup plan concerning this current environment of realignment, demand that the trustees immediately clean house, which I assume includes them and their staff.
3.) Insist that Gonzalez lock up some kind of safe haven or alliance with some of the other MAC teams of value, so we don't get screwed during this process. In other words, there is safety in numbers.
4.) If that doesn't work, we need a Plan B and even a Plan C or know why it is that we don't have one. I guess too that it would be good to know why they don't seem concerned at all that the current situation in College Football might threaten the MAC and the Ohio Bobcats directly.
5.) Demand accountability from Gonzalez now, because there is nowhere to hide. In other words, the best defense is a good offense.
6.) Albin better figure out the transfer portal/NIL and NOW or he and his staff are GONE. No more excuses. No more riding on the coat tails of Solich. Dominate the regular season, win the MAC, or get out.
7.) No more 2 - 2 records coming into the MAC, and if we play a Power 4 Conference Team, we better hang with them at the very least and win more than we lose, or, at least, die trying.
It sounds like you are suggesting too that the only disconnect here is that we are far too passive of a fan base and not demanding better. Do I understand that correctly or am I missing something?
Pretty close, but a few corrections.
1.) Keep bringing up the breach of fiduciary responsibility regarding away football scheduling, because once a mark, always a mark.

- This requires the conferences work together to increase the minimum demands. This should have been a topic at the G5 "summit" in Dallas a few weeks ago. Frankly it's more on the conference commissioners, but I don't hear a peep from the University AD's or Presidents.
2.) If Comer and Gonzalez get caught without a backup plan concerning this current environment of realignment, demand that the trustees immediately clean house, which I assume includes them and their staff.
- Incorrect. I would only hold the higher Executives responsible. The staff's of Julie and Lori are great. It's the top tier decision making that I'm calling into questions.
5.) Demand accountability from Gonzalez now, because there is nowhere to hide. In other words, the best defense is a good offense.
- Shouldn't this be in effect at all times??? Does anyone go into work with no accountability from Stakeholders??? Seems weird for that not to be a requirement.
6.) Albin better figure out the transfer portal/NIL and NOW or he and his staff are GONE. No more excuses. No more riding on the coat tails of Solich. Dominate the regular season, win the MAC, or get out.
- It's broad, but put a better product on the field. This program should never get boat raced by Kentucky and look like they don't belong on the same field. It's not happening with Toledo, NIU, or BG - so why us?
7.) No more 2 - 2 records coming into the MAC, and if we play a Power 4 Conference Team, we better hang with them at the very least and win more than we lose, or, at least, die trying.
- Incorrect. I would be damn proud if I were Bowling Green and my school had put a scare into Penn State AND Texas A&M. You can bet my head would be held high. We don't have to go 2-2, but we shouldn't embarass ourselves like we did last Saturday.
Everything seems pretty intuitive to me. I'm not sure what I'm missing.
