That quote from Groce tells you attendance and support from the fans IS VERY IMPORTANT to him! 'high care factor"

Been trying to figure out what I am more upset about. Losing Coach Groce or losing him to College of Charleston. It's the latter. This is an insult.

I agree with you but most on here don't think attendance is the issue. They say we have the NIL $$ and facilities and that is what players/coaches care about. While I think that is important, I think support, attendance and excitement are what players and coaches like. Look at the enthusiasm Miami O stirred up in the last couple months. The swim team with the bathing suits was played over and over. I guarantee their applications and enrollment will go up. When we have the attendance argument around football the argument is "we need a history of winning first".....Well, that is not the case with basketball.

So what's the problem then?

This would be an insult

Nice try. https://jmusports.com/Facilities

Coach Groce and this program deserve a new arena. We could actually be special in Bball if we gave them some love. The JAR is a dump. I don't know how he has been so successful recruiting with it.

Jason Taylor seems to have done a nice job with Miami's front 4. I was checking out his HOF profile on the UA site, it is pretty much blank. Is it me or does he dissociate himself from Akron.

It is sad that so many negative articles around college football - we are named. Worst head coaching positions, game day atmosphere, academics, worst teams.

What a dick. I thought it was obvious from my post - last night would have been a good time. Definitely not on the same day as the BIG10 and SEC Conference championships. Oh, and no it does not give us legitimacy playing on the same day as the BIGs, it makes us look stupid. That is why the SBC and the AAC have surpassed the MAC. Another thing.....play it on the campus of the highest rated school!!! You might actually have a chance to fill a stadium (like JMU and Tulane did). For those wondering who makes the decision..

More stupidity by the MAC. Watching the SBC and AAC Championships tonight, they have a pretty captive audience. What does the MAC do!? Schedule our Championship right against all the Power Conferences. Geniuses. This s#%it shouldn't be that hard.

Do you really think we could apply National Pressure? 🙃 With what? The 2-3K people that go to our games. JMU is not a school in debt. They average over 25K per game. They can feed their players. They actually have an NIL Collective. They are very close to moving to the AAC Conference. Their enrollment is going up. We were actually ahead of JMU at one point in football. High Point is a juggernaut! They were a tiny little school outside of the NC Triangle nobody heard of 15 years ago. JMU has BUILT a passionate fan base What do we do.......change logos every other year. They raised money and then built!! They didn't blindly borrow.

Nick Saban might have won one more game with the resources (or lack there of) JoeMo has been given. One other thing I left out.....if we had an undefeated season or a winning season....we couldn't even go to a bowl game. How in the f##k do you recruit with that? How do you motivate a team? A new coach is the LAST THING this administration should be looking at!!!! Just look at what schools like High Point or James Madison have done. Slow, steady, thoughtful, strategic, methodical decisions.

I really don't understand what you all are hoping for (those wanting JoeMo gone). Everyone in the country knows this is a s%#t job. Pay is not good, you won't be able to staff, no NIL, horrible attendance, school with debt and bad reputation, bad weather, empty stadium, no training table. But somehow you think we are going to do better than JoeMo.

The UA Board's logic would be to build a bigger stadium to fix this.
