[QUOTE="KeatonsCorner, post: 129449636, member: 1348700"] Geez, guess I gotta post these a 3rd time.......... LowCountry seems to keep "missing" them Reasons the Classic makes no sense: [LIST] [*]because, I've shown it's financially better for the state to not play, and instead have 2 separate sporting events. [*]it's definitely financially better for WVU not to play [*]Systemically, it's not better for WVU to play it, and really, it's not better for MU either, as they could schedule someone they can actually beat on a regular basis and add one more W to the column... [*]The game brings nothing to WVU, in terms of recruiting or getting our guys coaching jobs in the future [*]The opponent has went out of its way to be insulting towards the gifts given to them by WVU, who controls the situation from top to bottom [*]Marshall is trending down while WVU is going up.......... and therefor a better opponent should be added [*]The game's attendance is in decline, while home-game attendance at WVU through Nov-Dec is nearly 2,000 attendees higher than in previous years, indicating that a home game is far more lucrative. [*]Our opponent brings less than 20% of the attendees through the door, yet pockets 50% of the earnings [*]The game is not respected come Selection Sunday [*]The opponent does not offer the chance for a current WVU player to play in front of family that otherwise could not travel to Morgantown [*]Marshall University does not benefit, in applicants nor program quality, from this game's existence [*]Finding MU a more-suitable opponent for this vacancy may create a positive momentum towards MU's basketball program and eventually (in a decade or so) pull them out of the depths that they are at. At this point, the game could resume........ [*]Our HC and players do NOT like playing there........... the facility is ancient and in need of drastic upgrades (which are coming, but not soon). [/LIST] BTW, this is a game Huggs has wanted to cancel for years now, and he nearly got it done last season, but contracts carried it over a year so we had to play 2015's game..... betcha didn't know that one, huh? It's done.... barring Jim Justice, himself, issuing a Governor's mandate.... which he isn't about to do if he wins the race. Too many more pressing matters and he and Huggs are closer than that.
