Many of you won't believe what we bid to host a first round game. It will eventually get out, but I will tell you it is probably a record. Our administration put in a huge number. No one will be able to fault our admin if somehow we don't get the bid. It shows they realize it is not a cost, but an investment. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukes!

Great news. That will brighten the lights.

Great news 24!

Sounds like we overpaid. JMU needs to hire more accounts.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Great news 24! I am still hoping Coastal beats Liberty today to eliminate any chance we get out bid.

This. I believe bskb but I also know this story all too well. Until I see Harrisonburg next to our name tomorrow on the selection show, I'm assuming we're on the road.

Still think so?

First round home game will be sweet! Wish I could make it up.

With Liberty's win I do not like our chances....

I could've sworn I read in DNR that JMU put one in for over $100k.

No you won't!

Still a good chance both us and LU could get a home game. Committee could give winner of UR/W&M to Liberty and give us Morgan State/Fordham.

Seems like committee would be nuts to leave money on the table by not giving JMU and Liberty separate games.

Looks like there is another option with Morgan state winning the MEAC. Would be a nice matchup to advance

Yep. Liberty getting in the playoffs just made our chances of hosting that much slimmer.
I'm assuming we'll be in Lynchburg next week.
You all are giving the NCAA too much credit to think rationally and not leaving tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.

The NCAA loves money. If the bids really aren't known before the matchups are made, I fully believe the NCAA expected JMU to be hosting EKU when they matched us together in 2011. They don't want to match what will probably be the two top bids against each other this year.
