VUL definitely need the money. It seems like the school's SWAC connection is trying to get them the much deserved revenue. What's interesting, VUL is in the same city (Lynchburg, VA) Liberty University is located. Since both schools are Baptist universities, I wonder why Liberty won't schedule a game with them. It seems like Jerry Falwell, Jr. could share some of that half billion dollars of government funding his school received in the recent year and VUL won't have to spend a great deal of the money they receive from SWAC schools for travel and lodging cost.

To be fair... that's just financial aid money going to Liberty. They wouldn't get that if the students didn't apply for it.

For that school to be an ultra-conservative school that goes against government and paying taxes, they definitely don't object to receiving government financial aid monies. Liberty received the most financial aid then any school in the State of Virginia, which includes much bigger and well-known schools like the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Tech. Also, Liberty receives a lot donor money from individuals like the owner of Chick-fil-A. I'm sure Liberty can find a way to help out a fellow Christian school that's in the same town.

That's because they have 50K+ online students. Not defending Liberty, but the federal money they get is no different than what Harvard, Notre Dame, etc get.

I know you are not trying to defend them, although they definitely don't like to pay taxes, but they don't mind receiving monies that come from other people tax dollars.

Man, VUL is a like a collegiate homeless shelter almost. They shouldn't even have a football team. I blame Doug Williams for this mess. He must have been making phonecalls. :lol:

Basically.........They have board members that have been dead for years and are still listed as board members.

W.E. Clark III, also identified as a trustee, died in 2012. Another individual, Bernard Goode of Richmond, said last week that he does not know if he is a member of the board of trustees.

Hey man, it is a extra game. No big deal. We had to do the same thing once Ft Valley backed out of coming to BR.

At this late stage that is all you can do. I ain't mad at yall for that. Now in the future. All our schools know when we can get 12 games on the schedule so we need to start working on it early. In our case we had our schedule set early. Just had someone to pull out. I am assuming UGA will buy us out of that arse kicking we got scheduled in Athens next year and we will need to start trying to figure out who will replace that game. Preferably a home game
 
Re: JSU 2014 Football Schedule

Just a financial question, what sense did it make to have the Valley game be homecoming also? That game is usually well attended already, and now with the return of Comegy it will definitely bring more people. I'm just trying to understand the AD's thinking, when you have a game Oct. 4th versus one of the best teams in the conference, but historically doesn't bring alot of fans. If you are trying to make the most money possible, why do that????

I am only assuming they made that decision before they scheduled the VUL game.

Point is:

#1) I was not in favor of a 12th game anyway

And

#2) Ain't like this 12th game deal snuck on these AD's and schedule makers. They have known about this for 2 years and what did they do. Same as always. Wait until the last possible moment to try and schedule a game. This should have been worked out in 2012 or 2013.

I don't think a game vs Valley draws any better than any other game. It's not like Valley fans come anymore. #20. Ya'll are banking on Comegy making ya'll decent. He should make you better but we are banking on Jackson making us great.

But we didn't need a 12th game. We have 6 home games already. Why schedule 7? The money we lose won't be worth it. And if we do make money, it won't be much. The only sense it makes is that this is a new staff and that extra game could give them a chance to run some more plays before going to Memphis. I didn't like having an open week at week 2.

Lol.....is this the same VUL that Alcorn is playing and Jackson St folks called our coach a coward and was trying to inflate his record!! Well, well , well
Click to expand...

The difference is Alcorn is not playing ANY games where their coward coach has to be held accountable. They are supposed to lose to USM and they are supposed to beat UVL and LC. So when he goes 2-1, it will be all good. JSU plays a hungry FAMU and a good TNState team. Alcorn can't say that.

Yeah.............so JSU vs. PV brings the same crowd as JSU vs Valley...............ummmmmk. Anybody else with a logical, decent answer?

Depends on a number of factors. Its not like our fans get excited about seeing Valley. This year will be different with Comegy coming into town.

As for homecoming, I believe the SWAC sets the conference schedule and we normally like homecoming in that 2nd or 3rd week in October. So the date with Valley fits right into that slot.

We say that but how realistic is it? The SWAC sets the conference schedule and that doesn't come out 2 years in advance. Also, being in FCS we sometimes have money games or a decent home payday(like FAMU) fall into our laps late. Scheduling 2 years before could put you in a bind when you don't truly know which dates u have open.
