Where is the explanation from Bourne? This is inexcusable and a slap in the face to all of those 25,000 fans that showed up every game this year to support this team. JMU Nation deserves better!

Yeah the 12,000 figure blows my mind. They really expected LESS THAN HALF of Bridgeforth to be full for the first time we've been to the playoffs since 2008. And I know it's Thanksgiving weekend so chances are we'd be under 25k...but correct me if I'm wrong (I tried to look it up) in saying that there were more than 12,000 people at our 1st round game in 2008 which was also the weekend of thanksgiving. Blows my mind...

Against Wofford in 2008, we had 12,826. Our average that year was 15,362.

mikebarber,

Thanks for the informative tweets about the bid process today, but it raises an interesting question.

Do you know if the committee has the freedom to select bid losers? That is, could they look at JMU's attendance history and decide they're better of taking JMU's 47k +75% of profits over EKUs guarantee (estimated at 60k)?

If so, we may be severely underestimating how much EKU bid here...
