Dayton/Wright State game for Tornado relief
The tornado left significant damage in the Dayton area. This would be a wonderful opportunity for UD/Wright State to ask for a wavier to play each other to give back to the community. Several programs have done this over the years. It would be so helpful and a great shot in the arm for The city. I am sure we will hear all the reasons why not. But there is no doubt it would be approved . Would really like to see my school UD lead the way. The Marianist way!!

So this game would replace the game against Findlay...and raise money for the Recovery from the tornado.In the past two years LSU played Louisiana Tech, Liberty played Va Tech and several other games have be played to help support the relief effort. As a season ticket holder I would rather have the money for a scrimmage go towards the relief effort and actually watch a D 1 team play. The coaches who have participated in games of this type of game preferred it Over playing a D2 or D3 team. It would fun and great for The city!

I’m not a proponent of renewing the UD/WSU series but I like this idea.

Sad that some care so little about the community and are so petty about sports rivalries.
The community was hammered hard. The devastation was major and recovery will take a long time. Chris Wright volunteered a lot of time. Beth Flach helped out. Football players from Miami and the University of Cincinnati volunteered. They did not care if it was in Dayton territory. And more... UD has reached out. So have Wright State, Sinclair and more. But, go ahead and trash Wright State...
Any effort to help the community should be considered. The idea won’t happen, but any fund raising idea would be helpful. Right now Dayton region needs less petty thinking and more long term planning and compassion.

No, it would be in addition to the Findlay game.

Good point, if granted the waiver the schools can play two actual games or play the secret scrimmage and the one open game. They can opt to play the closed the game . Give credit to Wright state, they have had 4 straight seasons with 20 wins and in the last two years have gone to the NCAA and Nit. There 3 leading scorers are back. I believe when we see our OCC schedule they may be as good a team as we will face at home. The way things are getting tough to schedule for UD this can help the community. Give us a great test before Maui and the new players a good feel for a great atmosphere. The Presidents should make this happen.

I am against a regular season game, but would definitely support a charity game for tornado relief. i would want the game at the Arena though.(And I am not sure WSU would come without a guaranteed return) If the first game in the finished arena was to benefit the Greater Dayton area, I believe it would garner national attention.
Can't imagine they wouldn't be granted a waiver.

Disaster relief game
We just drove thru there on our way down to our Reunion weekend.
The devastation is unbelievable. If UD can help in any way - I think a B’ball game is a great fundraiser idea - we should consider it.
Lots of opportunity to raise funds in addition to the actual game. These people need serious help . . . Lead, learn, serve.

My workplace has been heavily damaged, and disrupted, in one of these tornadoes. I completely support this idea.

The first time I have read about renewing this series and it didn't make me roll my eyes. Well done.

Actually, this would be an exhibition game. That is why we would need a waiver. D-I teams can't play other D-I teams in exhibition games (other than the "secret" scrimmages).

No one is addressing the finances of this game. I assume that the DII exhibition games have drawn 12-13,000 paid attendees. If UD plays Wright, only 1,000 more attend. So where does the money come from for the tornado relief? Certainly UD does not just hand over the entire gate. 1,000 extra fans x $20 = $20,000.

I would think it would be an extra exhibition and everyone would pay additional for the game (not included in season ticket games)and the entire gate would go to the relief effort.

As we debate the game that will probably never happen, you all have 24 hours to get your Reds 50/50 tickets online to benefit victims.

Had the same problem, but it worked on my wife's phone. I figured it out. On my phone (Galaxy S9) I clicked on the 3 dots in upper right. Clicked on settings, the site settings. Went to location where it listed how many sites were blocked. Clicked on blocked sites and Reds50/50 was one of them clicked on it and then allow, now it works. Cannot believe I figured this out on my own.
