Whats worse, is those people who were fringe fans, whom were getting into it and starting to donate have all stopped. I told them all straight up, keep your money, stop wasting it on JMU Athletics, still can't believe I'm typing something up like this but its the world we live in.
A world overshadowed by a donkey with a dead fish handshake, a suit from Kohl's and shoes from the Sketchers "Professional" collection.
DG - appreciate what you are saying here, but point is, you still fall in that 4-5 digit donor category I mentioned earlier, with the rest of us, which seems to fall on deaf ears in HBurg.
Still looking for someone with access to these 6-7 digit donors that always get brought up on this board... have they or haven't they reached out to the BOV and if not, why not? ESPECIALLY if they are withholding said donations, I think the BOV and DC have a right to hear from them.
If I even remotely knew anyone that fell in the 6-7 digit donor category I would be in their ear constantly asking when they talked to DC/BOV, what they said, how it was received, etc. and then I'd report back to this group!
People on here like to claim they know these guys, but no one comes back at us with concrete info.
Way I look at it we have two options. Option 1 has kind of already started:
1) all of us small 4-5 digit donors band together and stop contributing (though it sounds like not many of us are on board with this theory, but I've made it VERY clear to my DC rep that I'm not sending in another dime, the calls have stopped) until the DC/BoV takes notice
2) 1-3 of the 6-7 digit donors stop donating until the DC/BoV takes action.
