    Again, the original post was that this was a far-fetched idea, but there are teams that have FCS games scheduled 9/2 and 9/9 that we could potentially buyout and agree to a road game against them. In fact, if I were Harlan, I would lobby for it publicly. Make a news story out of it how no one will schedule us, even if we agree to pay their buyout to their FCS opponent and travel to their house. At least then we would get media coverage out of it. 

    and what should happen if we loose after all the ruckus you would like to stir up?

    How are the naming rights going for the Sun Dome?  Not too sure about companies lining up.  I'm not totally against an OCS but there are many things to be considered.  We have only one ultra wealthy donor for athletics that I know of.  That name is on the basketball practice facility.  Can't keep asking the same people to pony up.  

    I wasn't specifically speaking about naming rights to the stadium.

    There are a ton of advertising opportunities with a smaller donation/fee.

    Interactive spots outside the stadium for kids, certain areas within the stadium, and many other things.

    Assuming you are talking profits, that is quite an assumption.  Bond debt, maintenance - all those things we don't pay for now - have to be offset by ticket sales, parking and concessions.  Unless you draw good crowds I'm not so sure it is a money maker.

    I get the overhead and the upkeep.

    Tons of businesses would love the chance to be a sponsor within the stadium and that my friend is the money maker.

    Maybe this man has been fundraising all along for one common goal. No need to announce if you don't have to.

    I know highly unlikely, but...hey you never know.

    I don't think you start a feasibility study unless you think you can afford it or know you can get the backing quickly.

    I agree.

    If you can fund raise for a new library or pod of classrooms, you can def get donors to go for a new stadium that would be a revenue generator.

    Just do it right and not like those other people across the way.

    You are talking smack about 1 player making Holtz career at ECU, but he has found success at La Tech, where Chris Johnson is not playing.

    It begs the question, was the Big East just above his pay grade, or was he has handcuffed as some apologists make it out to be?

    If he gets another crack at a P5 school and does good we will know the answer.

    Clearly you don't understand talking smack versus a comment that was being somewhat sarcastic.

    Wait, what?

    Chris Johnson didn't transfer two years ago to play for Skip?

    How did I miss that?????

    So... Holtz wins two conference championships after Johnson leaves, but Johnson is the only reason Holtz was successful?

    Not wining conference championships does NOT make your team unsuccessful, wouldn't you agree?

    Maybe I should've noted to not take the post completely serious for some certain individuals.

    CJ helped Skip have a successful career at ECU.

    Don't like the fact that he talked about slowing down the offensive tempo so the defense can "drink some gatorade".  The fast tempo we use wears defenses out by not allowing them to substitute and limits what the opposing defensive coordinator can do between snaps to get better match ups on the field.  I really hope that was in jest and not something serious he wants to do.  I was following via tweet so I couldn't hear his tone......

    I'm pretty sure that was a joke.

    He will never tell them to slow down and stop scoring.
