SMU Alums Fight Back
www.FireJimCopeland.com
SMU, 3 time NCAA champ, recently decided to drop men's track. Jim Copeland is the Athletic Director. (most alums want him fired for having an 0-12 football team)

This petition has one signature.
I feel sorry for track but this is Texas and we need the money for the TWO sports that CAN/Maybe make some MONEY.

looks like a pretty lonely campaign; perhaps a one man crusade. It's no fun having your sport eliminated for budget cuts...no more fun than I'm having seeing my office closed for the same reason, but it's today's reality. Deal with it.

I went to the site and tried to locate where you determined the number of signatures. I was able to find that the number of replies was zero and the number of views was over 300. How did you determine the number of signatures? If the number of replies plus the original post equals the signatures, your assumption is correct.

I actually signed it, but I didn't start it. You'd think whoever started it
would sign it :roll: Guess its a 2 person campaign at least :D

Wonder where letsrun got the line that most alums want him fired after the 0-12 football season?

Anyway, the link to www.firejimcopeland.com is gone, and this is nearby where it was on www.letsrun.com.

Today's Sign of the Apocalypse: Central Arkansas U To Add Men's Track and Field, Cross Country The world must be truly coming to an end, a university in Title IX days is adding 2 men's sports.

There is no petition. There will be no petition. To even suggest a petition is ridiculous. To quote John Wayne: "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." I back Jim Copeland.

Please step away from the Copeland Kool-Ade.

You two would have made great officers on the Titanic. "No, no, we didn't hit an iceburg, we merely bumped into some sea lions. Nothing to worry about folks."
