[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No football and no community engagement/spirit. It still has a reputation of a commuter school, not a party school. [/quote] The GMU President said - no football because of the cost. The area can support it but to be a national competitor it's 100s of millions of dollars of investment. UVA and Tech had a history to lean on. They said no to Basketball after the Final 4 appearance the one time where admissions acceptance rate went below 50%. Imagine if they rode that ride. They also said no to USNWR rankings game - to play that game the cost would be high. They said they would focus on education for the community; the true purpose of the University. The rankings you see on USNWR is Mason not trying to game it. au naturale.[/quote] Breath of fresh air. Like I said, I see GMU as that scrappy kid who works their way up. [/quote]
