Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3
Lets start a new thread so that people using Tapatalk won't have it keep quadruple posting for them. The other thread is too long and is causing technical errors with posting. Lets let it die the death it deserves.

Meanwhile, I give LFN from AGS credit for this post.

Things are getting ugly in Chant land.

“We did make the commitment to the Sun Belt Conference, which requires the stadium expansion. Our failure to meet that commitment could result in a number of things, the first being the negative media coverage that will hurt Coastal Carolina University for years,” DeCenzo continued in his opening address. “We have contracts with power-five schools which will pay us over $1 million per game; without being FBS we will never see that money, and worse yet we may have to break those contracts, which would result in a financial liability to us.

“But most importantly are the 25 recruits that we signed this year, eight of whom are from South Carolina. They start Coastal in the fall. Our failure to move this project along means our inability to meet NCAA requirements is in jeopardy, as would be our FBS standing. As a result we’d have to tell those 25 athletes that we cannot afford them the full scholarship they were promised when they signed with Coastal Carolina University. That to me would be the biggest tragedy of all.”

Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3
Oh Really CCU isn't ready for FBS?

Color me shocked.

If anything ever showed how wrong the FBS process is, it is is CCU trying to go FBS. No support, no funding, whatever.....

This FBS ready program couldn't get into the CAA, and averages less than the Ticks and Nerds. They are also broke......but hey, step on up.

I knew ccu jumped too quickly at the SB who was ready to hand it to any warm body not named liberty, but I'm surprised their president is making comments like that publicly. It was ultimately his decision.

Imagine these boards if Alger said that months after committing to fbs.

No no no. The thread has to be on pace to break some sort of record. This can't be allowed.

A lot of these schools have put the cart before the horse (FBS with no FBS facilities or support). In some cases it will be proven to be irresponsible.

"The third version of a thread that contains one actual non-JMU related rumor followed by 10-20 pages of the same rehashed bitching over the past decade. Also Alger sucks."
It wouldn't let me have such a long thread title.

Bump

So ccu sent an email to supporters to supposedly beg for money because the state is fighting the funding for their stadium expansion.
They want more private funding from ccu then they currently have.
Their fb coach could pay for it himself haha.

If you want this thread to take off you need to change the title. Maybe add a sub header to make it more catchy like:

Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3: Now with MORE feeling

Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3: Let's Make JMU Great Again

Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3: Watch as Purplehazed goes ballistic

You know...something to draw us in.

I believe Coastal will eventually get their stadium. What ever the amount the school is short from fund raising Coastal's fb coach will make an anonymous gift for the difference. The President and AD just wants to get the money from their alumni before they ask their coach to write a check.

Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3
Copied from AGS

CUSA announced their new deal...



They will be showing games beIN tv....owned by the same company as Al Jezera.



http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-s...36675.html

Conference USA’s new television deal reportedly spans four networks, but its value is expected to significantly decline.[URL="http://www.herald-dispatch.com/sports/marshall_sports/chuck-landon-c-usa-tv-revenue-in-decline-even-with/article_7a9d2f78-6746-5ded-acdb-0eae5ec8867f.html"]Chuck Landon of the Huntington Herald-Dispatchbroke down the situation in a weekend column, becoming the latest to report that ESPN has re-entered the picture – for a mere five games. The league parted ways with ESPN back in 2011, opting for a five-year deal with Fox Sports instead. But now, Landon reports, Fox “has pulled completely out.” That does not leave many appealing options, and the league, Landon wrote, is “desperate.”



So where will C-USA turn? From the Herald-Dispatch:

<font color="#747474">ESPN will get its pick of the first five C-USA games. Marshall University is expected to appear in one of those games. Then, CBS Sports Network will receive the second five choices.



<font color="#747474">The league's third television partner is the American Sports Network, which is expected to televise 15 to 20 games. There is also a fourth television partner, according to sources, that hasn't been announced. What also hasn't been announced is some games will be played on Thursday and Friday nights.



It was revealed Monday that the fourth network involved is beIN Sports, a cable network that normally focuses on soccer (Spain’s La Liga and Italy’s Serie A, specifically). The network reportedly revealed the news in a presentation with advertisers on Monday and later confirmed via press release.



In its release, the network, which reportedly averaged “just 15,000 total-day viewers” during this year’s first quarter, says college basketball is also involved. The release does not specifically mention Conference USA.





As for C-USA’s contract as a whole, Landon reported it’s slated to be $7 million “at the most,” a significant reduction in allocated money from previous years.



From the Herald-Dispatch

<font color="#747474">At the most, C-USA's new television contract could be worth $7 million. That would lead to revenue distribution of $538,400 per school. At the worst, C-USA's new pact could be in the neighborhood of $5.5 million. Divide that 13 ways and it calculates to $423,000 per school.

<div style="margin-left:40px">Either way, it's a far cry from the $1.1 million Marshall and each of the other C-USA schools had been receiving annually.



<font color="#747474">That creates a real financial crunch for everyone. Yet, C-USA commissioner Judy MacLeod says although television revenue will decrease, the number of televised league games will increase. I think she meant that as a positive, but I hope MacLeod realizes this means the value of a C-USA football game has plummeted.

Newest Conference Rumor - Part 3
Ugh oh. Time to fire Houston?

From today's rtd article:

Speculation regarding a possible move by JMU to the FBS began when the capacity of Bridgeforth Stadium increased from 15,000 to about 25,000 in 2011. The expansion was part of a $62-million renovation.

“I do think the institution is prepared if the right opportunity presents itself. But it’s going to be an institutional decision and not necessarily a football-only decision. And really, I could care less,” said Houston.

“I don’t know that there’s a great differentiation between the lower FBS and our conference.”
