I hope things are going well for you.

I think we need a full group meeting of all posters on this board at Knights. Let's all get together and share opinions there. I somewhat agree with Pitt about good ole face-to-face conversations. After all, we are all wanting what's best for ETSU and the success of our program, right?

Right? Absolutely - what's best for ETSU, not what's best for a few at the expense of the many. This athletic model ain't working, and has proven to be a rather miserable failure these last nine years - given all the money that is being spent for the results derived. ETSU still holds the distinction, over the last decade, of being the ONLY state, regional university to be FORCED out of its athletic conference of which it was a prime member for 28 years. And, not one other regional, state university has even looked at this model, much less adopted it. In fact, all have run from it, leaving ETSU isolated and holding the proverbial bag. There is no athletic future for ETSU athletics with this current model!
