I swear, why does this have to turn into a Hamrick or Doc bashing fest? Wasn't that long ago we were begging for the products they are producing. How do we know if BYU was receptive to us or had sent overtures themselves? If I was BYU, would I want to play Marshall? I would have studied the schools that were receptive and made an educated decision of what was best for my program, in their case. I would have chosen to play CCU over us, we have a little bit tougher all around squad. How do we know UNC was receptive? From all indications they were only receptive if they didn't have to spend a dime. Put this to bed already. Just because we are "marshall" doesn't mean the everyone out there is chomping at the bit to play us. Historically we have had problems trying to find schools to even give us a fair shake in scheduling. If UNC said yes, but only at our place and we aren't giving you anything for a 1 and done, Hamrick is right to have said no thanks, that doesn't pay the bills. If BYU said yes, you come to Provo, we will talk later about a series, but not right now, then Hamrick again is right to say no. Marshall can't simply just accept anything that gets thrown at it. We don't have the resources to absorb it. Bottom line. BYU, UNC etc can afford it, Coastal is in a nice location compared to us, BYU can use it as a recruiting trip. Those aren't thoughts, they are reality.
