Here's what USA today is now projecting.

Jan 1 - Fiesta Bowl = Southern Cal vs CCU.

How many Millions will CCU get if they play that game?

Could you imagine the excitement in each of us and every JMU fan if we were this close to a Millions of $ Jan 1 Major Bowl game versus the USC Trojans?

This time they positioned them self for a bowl game. Did they also better position them self for a better conference?

Duke Dawg, how would that match up work for you?

These opportunities only happen if you position your self to get them.

Good for CCU.

EsPN, which controls all but 1 bowl I believe has

CCU vs Buffalo, or
CCU vs Marshall

What makes you think he's the problem? You saw how fast he/JMU reversed course on the COA issue.

I believe JMU's reversal of course on the COA looked a bit like this...

Bourne > King > COA Stance Changed > oh yea, somebody tell Jon Boy.

Bourne told King the COA was needed to remain competitive in the fcs/caa...King agreed, discussion over. The jelly on the King's support toast may have been to remind Jon Boy whom is in charge at JMU. How embarrassing, write a manifesto that is posted on the inter web, it gets yanked stat after a message board poster finds it on the inter web, your direct report says, "no, that is not what you think" a few weeks later.

When King is gone, then whom tells Jon Boy what to think? 0% chance Jon Boy is going to lead a conference charge. Slightly higher chance with Bourne/Alger but let's not forget, we've known for a years that Bourne sold his house in Fairway Hills...

Then what? Alger hires an in charge AD to do his bidding, to getr' done.

Nope.

Nope.

You don't think the BOV has any say in the matter? They're the ones that get to decide whether or not Alger remains JMU's president, right?

If I could send you picture of President Alger in a cowboy hat in the locker room after JMU beat FBS SMU I would.

Do you believe that the board's plan was to hire a diversity attorney that does not believe a school with $250,000,000 in athletic facilities and a budget larger than any non AAC program should not pay the COA (a drop in the bucket) so the board would later need to tell that president that he not only needs to support a conference change, he needs to make it happen and/or that the board knew Alger would be a two termer based on his lack of charisma in the interview?

So you're not going to answer the question? Ok, how about this one, have you ever contacted any of the BOV members to voice your concerns about Alger and/or JMU's football classification?

Yes, I think the board has a say in the matter.
Yes, I have sent emails to board members and the Duke Club expressing the hope that JMU joins football peers and better utilizes resources. It has been a long time, years, since the email was sent.

No responses.

Why not keep doing it? You have no problem repeating your frustrations on here (not saying that's a bad thing, just so you know).
