But you haven't. You've said what you would tell him.
You have yet to show you even have the balls to speak to him.
Until you do, you have nothing to contribute.
Marshall bought that land and tore down the old field house. People thanks Marshall is Broke but Marshall has cash and they just tell us fans we don't have money to do this or buy this coach out. Example was at the end of last year's football season for a new Qb coach or offense coach. The fans came up with 250k for this shortage in cash but our president and Ad took that cash and used it for other stuff and in a way just gave the fans a big middle finger. And at the end of the day Marshall is a business and if that business isn't making cash how long do you think it will last? Marshall is much like the state of West Virginia at least 10-15 years behind the rest of the country. And to be honest both should be much much better but people that run both are stuck 10-15 years behind everyone eles or let's face it just to dam old to change or not welling to do so and that is much worse then a younger person doing the job but learning as he or she goes. Bottom line is Marshall will spend there cash on what they want and if the fans want change then they will have to pay for it.
I contribute SuperFan and will continue to do so. Get over yourself. Keep dreaming about glow sticks and keep celebrating this team’s coaching ineptness.
Actually, the old field house had become a burden on the Park Board, which GAVE the building to us at no charge. There was some athletic money in the soccer complex, but most of it came from state economic development because we characterized the place as an "economic development tourist attraction". BTW, much of the money for the IPF came from state academic money as it houses sports medicine and other academic functions.
Link please.
As outlined by USA Today's FOIA reports, subsidy and athletic fees, same as 95% of programs.
You guys defending Hammy and the status quo have to be the biggest suckers around. I have some beach front property in Welch that I will sell cheap. Great opportunity for a absentee owner.
Wrong. I don’t complain. Just point out the flaws in superfans arguments on this forum. You have no idea what i do elsewhere. I like it that way.
Marshall does not have the money you think they do.
The MU Rec was built with borrowed money as were the new dorms. Both of which Marshall leases and has to fill a quote of money paid each year for another 15 or so years.
Hence why a student is required to pay the maximim amount for meals, even if they don't eat them all per week.*
Also, MU was moving in a newer direction by itself, AKA Professional degrees like Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, etc. It ticked off the Liberal Arts people because Kopp said they weren't focusing on those as much.
Marshall does have money. But they are strapped to maintain what they have because they want to strengthen their programs and introduce others.
*not sure if this is still around. When I was there, they had just finished them and the Rec...and if you lived in those dorms, you paid for the max meal plan.
You're not a real professional, but you play one in real life.

Put in the Subject line: Mike Hamrick
Now, don't be scared. I know these kinds of things can be a little scary for you. But if you do this correctly, I am sure Mike will extend you a meeting to discuss your ideas.
When that happens, I'll help you with speaking and dressing professionally.
You’re trying too hard to look important here. You can barely stay on topic and offer a coherent discussion.
Now you’re resorting to posting things I’ve already said to you as some type of original put down??? Keep embarrassing yourself. It’s funny!
Still waiting for you to grow a nutsack and talk to Hamrick directly.
But hey, continue to cower and pretend you're contributing.
Until you put your little amount of money where your big mouth is, I will simply respond with '...'
In the amount of time spent responding to this, you could have written Hamrick directly.
You been working on that reply all evening superfan?
(yet another poster thinking and talking about my nutsack in various threads)
You must swing from Hammy's .
OK I'll buy that. Times are really changing. I'm glad I was a student when I was at Marshall...A lot less STRESS than today's youngsters....just my observations.

Are you acting in an official capacity for the University? I and others would like to know. Please answer the question.
And you call others cowards.....lol
Why not answer? Are you acting in official capacity for the University? Why should i send you my letter to Hammy?
Maybe Sammy will answer for you. He seems to be trolling this thread.
250K is chump change in college athletics these days. That doesn't pay to wash the teams' uniforms for a year. Marshall is broke playing in C-USA, taking more than $12 million per year from the school's general revenue fund to operate. That is not sustainable long term.
They'd be ahead to go independent, or drop back down a class.
Answer this? Marshall could jam fairfield stadium with what 15,000 fans. I have seen it packed and people standing. Back then there were more people and jobs. Now its less people and no jobs. My question,,Why do people think we go from 15,000 to 30,000 just because of a new stadium?I know we have packed the joan with over 30,000 but far from the norm. We added new seats not because we needed them but had to have that many seats to play in D 1. Isnt that why we added seats?
Independent is weird...apparently they don't have to play one a other.
UMass is 1st in Independent with a whopping 1-0 conference record and 4-7 overall record.
Even ahead of Notre Dame, who is still listed as an Independent? Despite requiring what, 5 ACC opponents?
Marshall doesn't have the money for it nor could we attract opponents to come here for 1:1 that would "entertain" the fans.
I also think Independents are going to be forced to join a conference eventually.
Because the product was good. Also, as you said, we had to meet D1 requirements. MU expanded when the WV economy began to really take some hits. Combine that with Snyser era football, its a mixture for smaller crowds.
UK hosting a top 25 team seemingly every week just a quick drive away, idiot HS post season football schedules, wvu pretending to be a big time school, and WVians as a whole, being fickle and fairweather beyond any other state?
None of that bodes well for MU.
