Putting it on here or on Twitter won't matter. Calling or emailing them and informing them of your plans would have a bigger impact.

How about a chargeback on season tickets or donations!?!?!?!?!? If ya paid with PayPal business card your window of opportunity for a dispute of product or services is available for 180 days from purchase date.

LOL we won't be doing ODU any good if we do that. We have let ODAF know that we are extremely displeased with what is happening and how we want change while still supporting them financially allowing them to make the changes possible with out being held back due to financial constraints. I sure hell will let Andrew Turner know.

If you believe this, you are very naive. The only thing that drives change, especially at the AD level is declining revenue. If everyone keeps feeding the coffers, nothing will change. Do you thing Wood is going to be fired if we are breaking records for donations every year? Not a chance. You have to show them the financial hit they will take if nothing changes.

No I am not naive but I believe declining revenue will only constrain the athletic departments decision making and stop them from hiring a good coach for whom we need to shell out at least somewhere around 900k. I might be wrong in terms of what we need to spend to get a good coach but cutting revenue will not instill any confidence in the AD.

Meanwhile JMU Douches think they'll be more relevant in CFB by dominating the watered down version of FCS. One thing is for sure they've got better coaches than we do for lesser pay meanwhile we pay Bobby Butt ******* wilder 600k, that sorry ass SOB and his gang of nincumpoops.

JMU and ODU are both irrelevant in CFB and both will be irrelevant for our lifetimes, maybe longer, maybe forever.

If relevancy in CFB is ODU's goal, good luck with that...

A G5 fanbase can be successful without being relevant. JMU athletic goals all lead to sustainable success. Sustainable success:
- Multipurpose facilities that serve the U well and represent the U well.
- A fan base that understands the game is not the whole game day experience.
- A fan base that contributes even if the contributions are small.
- A fan base that uses athletics as an activity to staying in touch with all things JMU
- Student athletes that graduate.
- Competitive. A team does not have to play and beat 'Bama to be competitive.
- Coaches that don't embarrass the U... drunk, lie, cheat, throw temper tantrums.

JMU's admin and fans want to be athletically great. What is great?

Is ODU beating Liberty, FIU and Charlotte great? I don't know.
Is JMU beating Robert Morris into the ground 73 - 7 great? I don't know.
Is UVA being low ACC mediocre great? I don't know.
Is Texas A&M's U and fans spending $5 Trillion on a stadium great? I don't know.

I think progress is great. Is ODU progressing? Not for me to decide. Does it really matter ODU's football record if ODU is progressing? ODU can be progressing with a 0-10 record, not the choice results but the it a ####### game.
