C-USA, Sun-Belt, and MAC would be “several”…unless we are including FCS conferences. There’s only 1 option at this point that makes any sense whatsoever.
Agree. Let’s hope it is Brad Smith and he makes the announcement.
It will be Tuesday or Thursday.
very bush league. Unfortunately it's becoming the Marshall way.
IF we blow it there won't be anyone around to care to read about it. IF Marshall screws this up they are going to lose a huge chunk of the fan base and a lot of money.
You have predicted 1569 of my last zero breakdowns.
D.D. Said last night at a men’s dinner for KofC that he is excited for the SB and the new makeup of CUSA or future makeup is pitiful. Said it for all to hear.
According to SBC and ODU fans we have. For some reasons we've decided to make it a spectacle on our end.
Thats exactly my problem,
Marshall administrations can screw up the proverbial wet dream. If we are joining the Sunbelt then why the delayed announcement? Mr Smith can do it in his press conference today. If we choose to remain in what is left of CUSA then we will have made yet another blunder. JMO
Then that right there is the biggest scoop in Marshall athletics since, at least, the alleged fight last football season. I’m not doubting you, but if the head coach of the second (maybe third) most important sport on campus make a statement about our conference affiliation, how come it not all over WSAZ, H-D, this website, etc?
Don't know Sam. That's just what the man said and was heard by dozens in the room.
Whats wrong Sammy? Another one of your loser predictions imploding. Do you actually think WSAZ is going to cover a private dinner event.
How about we just let Brad have his day. Things will be alright.
Reasonable business thoughts^^^.
I'd say they've given us a deadline and have WKU and others lined up if we can't meet that. Reasonable.
Unless something changes. Like maybe this foolishness makes the SBC think again. Or the Virginia government (which doesn’t give a flying f*** about Virginians who don’t live in area code 703) tells JMU no. Or WKU, or whoever, makes an offer like it will take half rations on the TV money for four or six years, or Liberty repeats its $20M offer. Or …
Obviously, no one in this thread knows what is taking place. No need to drag someone's name in the mud because we don't like the time we are taking to make this decision. My guess is the hiring of Brad Smith has been a major factor in keeping everything close to the vest. Coach D will support the decision made and stated he trusts the University will make their decision based on what is best for the whole university. He made that statement publicly at the Intra Squad Scrimmage.
