Just looked up season tickets for football. $350 for all sporting events. Sure some from this website must be involved with JMU.

Apparently started by family members of John Melvin, who was from Berwick and ran track for the Ragin Cajuns.

He was a good dude. Was killed in the middle of the outdoor track season in a motorcycle accident. The girl riding with him was a UL track athlete as well and was in a coma for a while, but recovered.

I know nothing about this “school” in Crowley. Seems quite skeptical.

John Melvin was a really good dude. I think his sister and the David Angeron dude have a bond of some sort. Definitely hate to see John's name used for a scam college - and if DA is involved, its probably a scam.

I have 2 relatives by marriage playing baseball for JMU….and yes, they are playing just to say they are playing “college” ball. The parents are are all over social media bragging about their college baseball athletes. None of these kids were recruited in high school or made even 3rd team all district. 


This is hilarious

It looks like they've already moved campus locations. Their first location was a metal building between a scrapyard and a funeral home(1563 Hwy90 Crowley LA) and their new campus looks like it was some old industrial/oilfield office/warehouse(138 Roller Rd Crowley).


It appears to be exactly what I figured on the last page, they're targeting high school kids that got little/zero offerings to play collegiate sports and are offering them all only partial scholarships. At first I feel bad for the kids/parents but then I don't because they're so blinded by little Brackstynn getting to continue his baseball career.

I don’t at all. Remember, this culture of the Braxtyns have been practiced since tee ball. Pay for play travel ball scheme that “ensures” them that they will superstars!! JMU is just the predator taking advantage of these parents and kids.

I know 1 parent that says her son on the baseball team is studying the to be a Physical Therapist at JMU….Poor thing doesn’t care that none of the credits will transfer because they are not accredited!! But they brag about their “college athlete!!!”

Their website is fascinating. So many weird things going on.

For example, the Chief Academic Officer: LINK

Also has the same shitty webacam picture listed at another University

LINK

There's one page that randomly has Pensacola, FL on it.

This was brought up in a previous thread, but the meal plan is hilarious: LINK

My favorite is this: Donut Palace: 20% off - Buy 5 dozen, get 1 free


LMAO what college student is buying 5 dozen donuts?

They don't offer housing (I guess their hotel dorm fell through) but don't worry, just contact Contact Hetalben Patel at 601-810-7814. Best I can tell, is I think he owns a Days Inn in Crowley. I bet that pool is LIT when the JMU kids get a big win.

Not comfortable with Patel. The other reference is Paul Way Dailey who was arrested in 2021 LINK

and was before the city council for building comdemnations in 2019

Consider Resolution of the Mayor and Board of Alderman for the City of Crowley, for condemnation of property belonging to Paul Wayne Dailey situated on Lot 10 and the East Half of Lot 11 of Block 1 of the South Crowley Addition to the City of Crowley bearing a municipal address of 420 East Cedar Street, Crowley, Louisiana. 4. Consider Resolution of the Mayor and Board of Alderman for the City of Crowley, for condemenation of property belonging to Paul Wayne Dailey situated on Lot 8 and the East Half Lots 9 and 10 of Block 2 of the Conway Addition to the City of Crowley bearing a municipal address of 907 West 10th Street, Crowley, Louisiana.

Bottom line, if you send your kids there, you're a moron.
