“One of the primary factors is the economic concern and need of our member institutions based on other contractual agreements they may have.
“Another factor is that we’re trying to get every one of our institutions a home production — one broadcast of a home game from each school. And we’re also trying to provide our fans with quality matchups that comprise the Game of the Week schedule.
Economic concerns? I dont buy this...especially since CBS is paying CAA exactly $0, so I can't trust his take on this..
Quality match ups?You must be kidding....who is going to believe that? Dont try and sell that garbage Joey

“It was a learning experience and I just regret it’s one that put us in a position where we’re only on the CBS Digital Network one time.”
Ohhh thank god you could learn on our dime - well done... not so smart to admit that on the record man...makes me worry about his negotiation skills
An now for some Bourne instant classics
Boure said the lack of exposure at the FCS level wouldn’t change how JMU views a possible jump to FBS.
“I don’t know if it is a driving force to look at any other options more than we would already,” Bourne said. “When we make a decision like that, it’s a global decision.
Global? sweet... let's see what Turkmenistan thinks about our move to FBS.. .but hey, he said "when"...let's parse that a thousand ways - sounds like it's imminent
Saving the BEST of Bourne for last
“I know one thing, my goal is to take care of our program and to make sure that we are being taken care of equivalent to institutions we consider peers and I’m very hopeful that in the future we’re not going to have an instance like this again.”
So the care JMU receives... MUST BE EQUAL to the other schools?
1) WHY? we are the heavyweight in the conference, NC, and all around best - stop saying we should all be treated equal. It's total bull$hit... we have earned top billing -dont give it away
2) "we consider peers"...who does jeff think are our peers now? And in one sentence he wants equivalency, but it's qualified to just our peers ... hmmm...OK...Delaware and.... StonyBrook? 2 and 3 games respectively....Maine? 3 games (and not a peer)... so who are our peers that we are ensuring get the exact treatment we get? Rhode Island and William and Mary - we have found our peers!! :)
3) Dont let people take care of you - set the agenda and go fight for it man...
4) Hope is a dangerous thing (can't resist a good Shawshank line) - screw hoping..get active and kick the CAA in the ass on this one Jeff.
