I doubt Mackin was scheduling those games if he knew it was being shut down.
Yes, I pointed that out in post 10 of this thread. The scheduled through 2016 and then nothing after that. Like 2016 was the ending date initially. My question remains: Why did they not stick to the original ending date of 2016?
By the time the boosters found out football was a wounded animal. Doing the death march to 2016 would have been even more of a PR nightmare (if that is even possible) than they've already experienced. Plus when Clark showed we really could put a winner on the field the pucker factor went way up in administration.

Almost like a plan in place. What made them decide to end immediately. Was it the Bill Clark success, or the plan being exposed.
Both, CBC had a ten win team returning, he coached himself out of two wins this season. I dont think their plan is even finish just starting, something that started years ago something big and unexpected. Judging by the football offseason we're missing the early signing period for JuCo's and select hs seniors so we could recover quickly if reinstated thats my silver lining for football.

MTSU, LA. Tech & Marshall were all one play from going our way.
And our guys can count 2 or 3 wins due to one play our way.
