Managing image and branding is one thing. Managing people and relationships is another. Lessons learned.

You guys can do a subtle strip mall design with a 7-Eleven branding tie-in.

Alger & the Board are aware that you can not sustain an FBS move long term on the backs of student-fee. It is institutional suicide regarding the issue of "affordability". Draw off institutional...

The reality is that there appears to be no big money donors willing to ante up. Never, ever hear a single name on these boards like other schools. Madison athletics is directly attached to student...

Nothing brands better with James Madison better than this group. If Alger & the Board bite on this I will be shocked. Still waiting to hear the names of the millionaires that are bank-rolling this...

Panic is never a great strategic plan. JMU as a Sun Belt institution is a joke! Soooo much better than that mix.

"see my post above. A minimum of $1.2 million/year will be allocated to the WORST performing FBS school under the new system. That helps."

The 1 million guaranteed is nickels and dimes on "total...

"Moving up" is an interesting term. If you are moving up with little chance to get a "significant" revenue return (rights agreement) to off-set the facility arms race you're now in...

"GMU did not have an offer last spring."

Mason has had an invite since last spring. Bank it!

No one will get into the Catholic 7 with partial qualifiers. Box it.

If VCU get's the BE invite with either St L or Dayton they walk & the A10 is DOA. No?

People can't be this stupid. The AD's tossed the hot potato to the Presidents. If anyone thinks the Presidents totally turned their ADs compassionate votes over is delusional. Pure fantasy land.

"I replayed the last couple of possessions of the game. Those seats aren't all that good--when Wittman is standing up, he blocks their view and Cabrera has to look at the big screen to have any sense...

The AD is negotiating an extension with your new Prez and he comments on not yet being a candidate for another job. Really?

"I think OCM wanted to stay here, but Merten cut that cord for whatever reason."

Now that's funny stuff!

"Many on this board could have success coaching 25 and 26 yr old college men. Lets see how he captains this ship next year."

Seriously!? You are delusional.

"I just decided the opposing players deserved to get hurt and I was going to dish that hurt to them no matter what. It is God's plan that I hurt them badly and make them do my will." Ray Lewis Jr.

"Umm phase I of the baseball improvements are still a scheduled go."

According to who?

There are millions of reasons.

"I think you are giving too much credit to our administration."

Relationships matter to Presidents.

Mason admin (AD & Pres) may have been brilliant in holding their cards 8 months ago. A10 was posturing to survive a BE bust-up takeover and now it's happening & everyone is trying to jump. More...

Long time fan, but have people given up? Great win for a young team over UVA and no one cares? I'm concerned this football move may have totally minimized the basketball program. This C-USA move...

The odds of keeping Shaka drop dramatically if this situation doesn't ensure conference stability. Havoc is not always good.

"I can see plenty of reasons why the new look A-10 would be only marginally better (if at all long-term) than the CAA."

I believe you guys may have a million reasons to consider.

"I still think the most likely event is that neither VCU or Mason gets the invite and we may end up in the A-10 to replace their losses."

Why would you go into a weaker A10 than the one you...
