Longhorn is correct, as usual. JMU is a public agency and if the BOV had voted on a move to FBS there would have been a motion and it would have made the minutes. No such vote has taken place. The October BOV meeting should be quite busy.
So the BOV didn't have to approve engaging the Carr agency in the study? Anyway, I thought if they did it in a closed session it didn't have to be publicly announced.
Either you didn't read my first response, or didn't understand it. To repeat, the only action the BOV has taken is to allow the Carr report to take place. Sanctioning a report to study the feasibility of JMU moving to FBS level football does not mean the BOV's officially endorsed or approved such a move. Any action of that nature would occur only after the report is submitted to the BOV.
All metaphors are flawed, but let me try to illustrate this in a different way. The BOV's sanctioning the Carr report is like a court authorizing an official pre-trial investigation. We suspect something (in this case a move to FBS is necessary or desirable), but we need the facts. Once the facts are in from the pre-trial investigation (Carr report), the state atty. (JMU's Pres) will submit the report's findings to the court (JMU's BOV), after which the court will decide whether a trial is warranted.
If the facts don't warrant a trial, we stay FCS. If the facts warrant a trial, due process will be granted to all interested parties, like faculty, etc. Only after the trial and all parties have had their day in court will JMU's BOV render a final decision about the move. That decision could still be to remain FCS (unlikely)...but again, the decision has yet to be made.
Couldn't you have said "No, they don't need to vote to perform a feasibility study." without being condescending and rude?
That's on you if you're reading it that way.

If that's not condescending, then nothing is. You basically told him he is either stupid, or lazy, then go into a soap-box academic type lesson, which doing to a fellow Duke is rude as hell.

That behavior happens with several posters in almost every thread every day. No need to call Longhorn out for it.

This seems like a really dumb defense to me. Unless 500 daily wrongs, unbeknownst to me, actually do make a right.

The shame of it is that I used to naively believe JMU only hired good professors. Mistakes do happen from time to time I suppose.

I challenge you guys to find a board that has a passionate fan base that isn't bitching about something dumb constantly.

I don't remember the poster but we had a "friend in high places told me it's not Bourne screwing JMU for CAA love" post recently. I'm trying to believe, it's been a decade I've thought Bourne is a Yeager Brownnoser . Maybe, when Bourne is Alger's direct report we will find that JB's testicles have dropped. I hope so because I believe JB will be JMU AD for 25 more years regardless of performance.
