Read again. It's open to anyone who is an Alumni member. I received an invite. I know many who did. If you did not then you are not an Alumni.
Yes and oui already have those people. After this, how many do oui keep? Why not invite the ones that left and ask them what they can do to get back in? Maybe they would have some good answers like funding the program. There is $10M in the football foundation that some of that could be used to hire and retain good coaches. That would be a start. Honestly discuss the pros and cons of remaining in CUSA. Go after the smaller donations as Bill McClellan did at Clemson. IPTAY? Our president doesn't know who Bill Mclellan is. No lie.

The way I interpreted it is that you will get the invitation if you are an active member of the Eagle Club or the Alumni Association. I fall into the first category and maybe the second as well... can't remember if I'm up-to-date with that one or not.
If you are an alum but not in the Eagle Club or the Alumni Association, then I don't think you'll get the invitation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if not that's what I have a problem with. If someone is really so into USM sports that they'll spend their evening jawing at Rodney in the Sheraton ballroom about it, but they're not giving money, then if I were Rodney I'd want to know why.

Can’t imagine his schedule is so complex that he can’t swing by Dallas Fort Worth after Houston. Maybe because DFW is more conservative than Beto Country we didn’t make his tour.....
The whole thing is pretty haphazard... no New Orleans, no Atlanta. It's almost like he didn't want to look like they were having too much fun. Didn't keep them from going out to Santa Whatever to eat dinner with Bower, though.
And FWIW, I don't expect or want the President of USM to be a political conservative. In my lifetime, we've had an old-school conservative Democrat, two liberals, one country club Republican, and one full-blown Ayn Rand-reading right wing wackjob in that position. The wackjob's politics were closest to my own, but that guy sucked as a university president.
while I understand what you're 'stating', in no way should that role ever display politics in any way.....
what I see in your post is the end result based on a 'viewpoint'....
I'm as social lib/conservative pub as they come....this isn't about reading politics into this bs....
this is about how pc/social media politicization generates Geppetto...

He hasn’t and he made it clear he wasn’t going to discuss it any further.
Hop said no comment regarding the SN Nation article.One would imagine if he doesn’t cancel his listening tour that he is going to be asked whether he likes it or not.
that'll be another 'forum' I'll get banned from....
