If they cannot afford it truthfully, then they cannot afford it. Would be the same with Sun Belt, CUSA, or MAC it sounds like. You just would want to shake your administration though if they didn't tell you that long before now. Seems their Carr Report didn't see it the same way their administration does. Guess Liberty is the only potential Virginia candidate left. Would hate to be a Dukes fan under these circumstances.

Keep in mind the Carr Report was completed under the previous JMU administration. Having served on ASU's 1st 1A Study Committee (Carr also did our study) I know the report usually comes back saying what the administration wants it to say. After the conclusion of our study was revealed some on the committee disputed and proved, by the numbers, Carr's conclusions were flawed. Outfits like The Carr Group get future business by gaining recommendations from previous clients. You better believe they are going to give them exactly what they want to hear.

Wrong. It was done on Alger's watch.

Plus the Carr report states that we will see a marked revenue decrease by staying in FCS/CAA. If the Carr report was generated just to say what the admin wanted it to say, then we are looking to go FBS. While not recommending FBS, it clearly states that staying in FCS could be fatal for athletics.

If anyone's interested, the Carr Report is here.

My apologies. I stand corrected. Time has a way of flying by. How long has Alger been at JMU?

Depending on who you ask, too long or not long enough...?

But the factual answer is that he became president on July 1, 2012.
