Honestly Marshall is too small and our leadership has been too small minded to do any major athletic moves, including the joining the AAC. 20 years ago Marshall should have unleashed a comprehensive plan to grow the university, but that didn?t happen. It?s ran like a typical state government organization, no one takes initiative, no one takes a single risk, no one works a single minute past 4 o?clock and having additional students is just more work for the staff and the easier the better.
I have to agree, play regional opponents, renew rivalry?s and enjoy life. Hope we get in a conference we can win year in and year out. Hope we can get a new AD with some connections that can reel in a few P5 2-1?s.
