I think that the people that the JMU community should be mad at isn't me, its your AD, your BOT, and your chancellor.

The frustrating thing should be that the resources are obviously there, but they appear to be really out of whack. Again, its not like JMU doesn't have the fan support and the financing to do more than they do. Its that they appear to waste money like crazy. You spend more on athletics than USF. Your Athletic Department has a vastly higher deficit too.

For that money, you could join FBS and hire a top G5 coach at the same time.

2 fcs football titles (not 1), 3 appearances in title game
2 espn gameday
2 top 10 finishes last two seasons in softball
National player of the year in softball (Megan good)
5 NCAA tourney bids in last 8 years in women’s basketball
At least a dozen straight years with 24+ wins in women’s basketball (lost count)
National championship in field hockey

Do you just not look anything up before you speak about something you don’t know anything about?
