Bigger than the tunnels, IMO, was the 911 Center scheme. When your own BOT criticizes the move in a public meeting you're in, that's really bad. That BOT rebuke was a month ago.

Genuine question, because I truly have no idea. How much do say so do ‘our’ people having this hiring?

Almost none. The Trustees and even Governors have very little say. This is in the hands of the system office. Peter Hans makes the call.

A hospital in Hickory with a big Block A followed by ppalchian State Medical Center would go a long way to providing NIL money. Just saying. ECU had a medical school. For that matter so does ETSU. Do you think we are behind them? Not an opinion...fact. East Carolina at 60 million we are at 38 milli...

It’s odd that someone who rushes everytime to the defense of one coach that was struggling on the field is reminding us that a coach that just won the conference for the first time in decades isn’t perfect (which everyone has acknowledged). Kerns is the best basketball coach we’ve had during the 30...

This is a big deal. We can't do better than Kerns. He literally does everything right. He has those kids out at different events. Next year may be not so great. But good for Gillin for getting this right.

Just imagine if shortly after the Wake loss, Kerns made a statement about the historic season, thanked the players and the fans. And said something about taking more stairs next year... Go back and listen to the postgame show from our radio broadcast. He basically said all of this. Spot on, JTApps1...

You know, if we ended both basketball programs, we might have enough money for about 2% of the stadium project. Maybe that's the funding plan.

ECU has 9 in the portal

That's one for every two losses they had.

You really don't understand that feeling? I get that you don't think anything should be said or needs to be said. But you don't get the feeling that basically two weeks is silence portends something ominous?

Simple question to the group. If you or your child were in a similar situation would you advise them to stay or go? And when I say situation, take out your love for App and think about in terms of your kid, who doesn’t have that same love or devotion. I’m not saying that these are sound decisions, ...

Let me just recap for some of us to make sure we are on same page. Jim Fox 5 yrs - Overall 56-99 (.361) - Conf 35-59 (.372) Best year - 2018-19 15-18 (.455), NO winning seasons, NO reg season conf championships, NO conf tournament championships, NO post season appearances. In fairness he did inheri...

After eight straight loosing seasons, Kerns's worst season is 16-16. Because of that I grade him on a curve. He gets an A- from me.

Today we graduate more kids from Business than Education.

Here’s the conundrum non cartel schools face….it’s not in their control. It’s gotta be tough for an AD with limited budgets and tapped out supporters. I’ll be waiting for the chips to fall where they may. Well said. If honestly look at App and Alumni, we are a blue collar type of school for lack of...

This makes sense, but to me, doesn't square with basically the entire team hitting the portal. We had a really good thing going.

Back to the portal. I really hope Marsh isn't leaving for one of these teams. https://twitter.com/CoachJonesMPB/status/1773438248095744299?t=2QtASDq-aLnrbObBdKF0Sw&s=19 We have a huge problem in college sports.
