Or actually did not go at all.

Per Trilly:

- Scheduled to leave for the Bahamas today.

- When they got to the airport there were no flights booked, no hotel, and no games booked.

- Trip cancelled and some of the donors had already landed in the Bahamas when they found out.

How the hell does this even happen? Almost sounds like a scam, no way zero dollars was spent up to this point of departure.

Whoever did it was at least smarter than JaMarcus Russell. They didn’t get pinched immediately depositing the check into their personal account.

Are we sure George Mason is an actual school?

They have one of the best Econ departments in the country.

But has there been recent coaching turnover there? This seems like ops director shite and no supervision over the ops director.

I was joking, but I was reminded of that one guy who was scheduling games for a high school that wasn't actually real. Or I think that's how it went down.

Yeah, that was a third party ESPN contracted out to schedule HS games and they pulled that fake HS to play against IMG.

Do we not remember their incredible Final Four run when they upset a god-tier UConn team to get there?

The agency who was in charge of the whole thing is owned by KD Johnson's former AAU coach. KD Johnson was previously with Auburn, now GMU.

They needed someone who knows how to make things happen on the islands.

Shouldn't there be someone in the Athletic Department responsible for getting confirmation numbers for flights and hotel rooms, or at least following up with the travel agency to ensure things are good to go?

I got that off their website. They currently have NO events planned. Sounds like a solid bunch.
