They have always been a terrible program and now that they play 3 “money games” a season against power teams their record isn’t going to get better. I’d love to know what would happen to the rest of Kent State athletics if the football team stopped being the sparring partner for heavyweights just for the check. They must be subsidizing a good chunk of the athletic department budget.

I have misplaced my pants.
And I don't blame them for doing it.
What do they get for these games? $500k for each? Maybe more? Probably more?
On top of that, they can go to their recruits and try to sell them on Kent State with "Yeah, you didn't get recruited by the power schools, but if you come here, you'll still get a chance to play in their stadiums."
Kent State probably knows they'll never crawl their way out of where they are - a lower-tier G5 school. Might as well get some money to pay for the rest of their sports along the way, and who knows - they might be able to pull off an Appy State vs. the cheaters at some point.
Oh - another reason they're never going to get any better is the changing of the transfer rules. The moment a player emerges from a team in the MAC or other G5 conference, they're going to transfer to a team that can pay more for NIL and have a chance to get to and win the championship.

Kent State places Kenni Burns on administrative leave as coach enters third season leading Golden Flashes
The Golden Flashes are 1-23 under Burns' direction
Kent State coach Kenni Burns has been placed on administrative leave, a source confirmed to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. The move comes after Burns posted a 1-23 record in his first two seasons and just days before the Golden Flashes are set to begin spring practice.
"Kent State has placed head football coach Kenni Burns on administrative leave with pay," a statement from the school reads. "Greg Glaus, executive deputy athletics director, will continue to oversee the administrative responsibilities related to the program. Offensive coordinator Mark Carney will direct on-field activities at this time. No further comments on this personnel matter will be provided."

Kent State fires coach Kenni Burns after 0-12 season
Kent State has fired football coach Kenni Burns, the school said in a statement Friday.Offensive coordinator Mark Carney will serve as interim coach, and the school will conduct a search for a new coach "at the conclusion of the 2025 season," according to the statement.
Burns issued a statement on social media:
Burns was placed on administrative leave with pay last month, but the school did not provide details about why Burns was put on leave. Burns has a 1-23 record in two seasons with the Golden Flashes. They were 0-12 last season, the fifth time in school history they went winless.

"Coach Burns has authorized me as lead counsel of his litigation team to pursue all remedies available to him under the law and to recapture his reputation."
Hutton said his client plans to file a lawsuit against the university.
A source close to Burns said that Kent State recently made Coach Burns a buyout offer that was rejected.
Just sayin': Apparently Burns has 3 more years on his contract and a lawsuit is on the way.

The G.O.A.T.
He was a god awful hire from day 1 who had no business getting a head coaching gig.
Interested to see what direction they take it....do they follow the trendy former player with no experience route and go with Josh Cribbs, who has already made it clear he'd be interested, hire a re-tread or large program coordinator who has no other hopes, or go another route like and go into their backyard and hire Geoff Dart from Mount Union. Younger guy, late 30's, 5 years as a head coach, has those relationships locally already, etc.
Either way, they'll probably screw it up.
