What have you been trying to convey? No matter how much we would like to be playing football in the American Athletic Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, etc., we simply don’t have the facilities, the fan base, and most importantly — THE MONEY to support a consistently winning program there. Division I basketball is another animal, and even there we do not have the MONEY to keep the Steve Forbes types for more than four or five years at a time. Facts are stubborn things. ETSU athletics does a hell of a job with the resources available, and the university does an even more impressive job academically with the resources available.

We as alumni need to step up. We do a poor job in my opinion in supporting our university.
