They seemed to be overwhelmingly in favor of the cancellation.

I laughed when I first read that because I knew there was no way that was true.

Players are competitive and you're kidding yourself if you think most of them truly want to just cancel a season and go one year and nine and half months without playing any football.

Somehow JMU has the 63rd largest athletic budget, but is sitting on the sidelines and forfeiting the Fall.

Programs with 1/3 the athletic budget of JMU are finding a way to get it done successfully. Does Alger even notice? Does he care? As per the norm, he will not respond because his “shrewd” decision making is so far out in left field that he can’t talk his way out of his mess.

We’re playing in the spring when championships are on the line, so these games would merely be to appease some fans, the same fans that can’t come to the games now and don’t go to the playoff games anyway. And “programs are finding a way to get it done successfully? Those programs are taking a huge hit by playing but are doing it so the program doesn’t take an even bigger hit recruiting-wise etc... due to their peers playing. Our peers are not playing, they’re playing in the spring.

I think it’s fair to say that they could have waited longer and it’s possible it could have worked out but also possible that it wouldn’t have amounted to much.

Yes, the entire system is rigged against JMU.

Rather than showing any responsibility, our administration has both distanced itself from decisions and is now attempting to blame others. This is not leadership.

I honestly don't disagree with building an easy schedule this spring. I think due to the lack of a conference championship game and the way playoff qualifiers are, we need to do what we can to ensure our record is as good as it can be.
