Friday, January 29, at noon. Jason Donnelly, Clay Hendrix, Dan Scott and others will be there and will be prepared to discuss all things Furman Athletics.

If you can't make it, post questions here and we'll make sure they are addressed. This should be a very informative gathering.

The Zoom link will be posted here soon.

Is baseball all dead or only mostly dead?

If we post questions on here (because cannot attend), are they supposed to be limited to only those which relate at least generally to the pandemic and it’s effects on FU athletics? Or are they open to any and all aspects of FU athletics, even beyond the pandemic?

Thanks.
If I submit any to you, I will try to make sure they are not totally ridiculous and might be of interest and worthy of a serious response.

I’ve got one:
FU does not require SAT scores from incoming students. Does the athletic department require an SAT score above the NCAA sliding scale? If so it seems unfair. ( This question is NA for this year since Covid has knocked out SAT’s)

I have one.
"It is great that Furman plans to win in FCS games. It is also enjoyable, interesting , and hopefully profitable when Furman plays BCS schools, including UofSC & CU & NCSU & UNC & Ole Miss & UT, as long as the contracts compensate fairly. For even greater interest & 'national footprint/publicity', will Jason and/or Clay pursue some more FUTURE games with BCS schools that are BEYOND the SEC and ACC? Please note that Stanford, Colorado, Air Force, Michigan State, & Army are on already announced future schedules of other schools that are 'like Furman in size, academics, and athletics' (specifically on schedules of Richmond, Colgate, Lafayette, & Bucknell)."

Here’s one...

Will masks & social distancing be enforced for fans in the beer tent inside Paladin Stadium?


(Some of you sharp sales pros may recognize this question as the old “Minor Point / Major Point Assumptive” closing question...a FUBeAR favorite!)

Affirm, there is no such thing as BCS schools(FBS) but we know what you mean. I would like to ask if he is going to be able to reschedule the Tennessee game and how is he doing filling holes in the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 football schedules? Thanks

Do many places have beer tents? I know DIII Millsaps in Jackson, MS has a beer garden at one end zone selling beer from the campus brewery. Great idea for boosting attendance and revenue.
