Towson is currently completing its transition from Non-Scholarship to full I-AA Scholarship level (with its move from the Patriot League to the Atlantic 10). This move will be completed by 2007, as it takes 4 years. According to NCAA rules and regulations, a team is aloud to schedule D-IA opponents one year after becoming full scholarship. Thus, we can't do it until 2008.

2008 - Navy
2009 - Northwestern
2010 - Hearing rumors of Indiana or another Big 10 school

This is great news for Towson, as it will bring us a lot of money and national recognition....which is exactly what we need. Travel costs for the Navy game are very, very low which is a big plus as well. I personally would've liked to schedule maybe Navy, an ACC team (Maryland would've been great), and maybe a Big East team (say WVU or something...I don't think Rutgers wants to play any A10 teams anymore :p ).

p.s. all games are away, of course.

What did the old helmets look like?

That was sort of a joke I had with Ralph because the helmets here were two years old...but 2 years ago there was just a big T on the sides (similar to the Texas T), black and white stripes ran from the front to the back in the middle of the helmet.

Although the Tiger is pretty cool, the 'T' was one of my favorite helmets in I-AA. I think it must be the distinctive color.
