No need for a PM.
In my opinion some of the band and cheerleader alumni conspired to get rid of Blue Reign. They had more political clout than Monkeisha Borders and her crew, and they basically did a powerplay.
There was absolutely no reason to phase out BR except for egos. Those girls performed every game for free and they practiced all week to perfect their performances. I think most people would agree that they got better each year.
A couple of years ago I tried to start a rivalry between them and Golden Delight but both groups could have co-existed naturally. People don't understand it but the GD vs. BR debate was the most attention either of those groups attracted all year.
Personally I tried to promote Blue Reign on this site but I think the BR leadership was afraid to align themselves with us. Like it or not, the Bluedeathvalley.com brand carries a lot of weight at A&T.
BR would still be around today if they would have let us help them.

thanks thrilla for the explanation... but it is obvious blue reign is sorely missed in corbett... when will this "slave mentality" cease to exist at a&t... now it has trickled down from the dowdy building to the lovely ladies who grace corbett... thrilla you can't give up on this... you & ms borders need to see martin or earl hinton to get blue reign back on the dance floor... if anyone was at the unc-g gm you saw cheerleaders..dance teams on the court at every time out as well as half time... if you go to a gm at the dean dome you see all the dance teams at court side... again if it were me... i'd have blue reign & golden delight in corbett... the folks in dowdy have to understand... these ladies are part of the festive atmosphere in corbett.. they are the fabric... & besides its all about the kids.. right.. i mean it is about the kids..right... ? LET THE LADIES DANCE CHANCELLOR...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I concur with all said. I do believe if I was on the right team, things could have happened. I think everybody should be able to perform in Corbett: cheerleaders, band, golden delight, dance team, aggie live wires, aggie dog, etc. Who is Earl Hinton? Thrilla u know you have connects. Truthseeker, since you do what your name states you can assist in bringing Blue Reign back to life. There was no real merit anyway! I never understood why the words are always passed down from person to person on an issue that is as important as termination. I like to speak or see or hear it directly from the decision makers mouth with a valid reason not hear say. You cannot pay me to believe that those ladies are not missed because I still hear too much positive commentary from all ages that went to the games! OK I'm getting mad again. Miracles and blessings everyone! Merry Christmas!

Reply: Too MUCH DRAMA! I can't align myself with negative energies! AT that time that was the only thing I was getting. NEGATIVITY! CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG! Preciate all bluedeathvalley does though!

this is another example of having administrators in dowdy who don't understand college athletics... when you add... the cheerleaders.. the pep band.. the dog pound/live wires.. the greeks in corbett stepping.. the student body dancing & being boisterous.. & blue reign... when you add all these groups together... you come up with... HOME COURT ADVANTAGE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does anyone in dowdy understands what that means... well let me break it down for you... when the visiting teams coach calls time-out & the players are trying to sneak a peak at blue reign instead of giving their undivided attention to their coach... YOU HAVE JUST CREATED INSTANT HOME COURT ADVANTAGE...!!!!!!!!!!!!! at no cost to the university i may add... WHY DO WE HAVE IDIOTS IN DOWDY... WHY.. WHY..WHY... ? & WHAT MAKES MATTERS WORSE... THEY TAKE ADVISE FROM IDIOTS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by martin pulling the plug on blue reign.. not only has he reduced the home court advantage in corbett..
but...
he has reduced the chances of these youg ladies finding a job once they graduate... being able to put that you're a member of the universitys dance team on a resume is an added plus & with the volunteer charity work blue reign did... this is all that would be needed to make one standout to employers...

All they did was change the name of the dance group. What's the big deal?? And why are people in Dowdy idiots just because they change the name of a dance group??

If I am wrong then what is right? Did they change the name or did they do away with the dance group all together? Run it down!!!

They changed more than the name. They changed the entire performance style, participating members, instructors, etc.
They are no longer a dance squad; they are now cheerleaders with pom poms.

What was said is that the name changed, but what I was told in person verbatim is that and I quote " Blue Reign is no Longer". Other changes are as follows
1. We didn't have pom's 2. Coaches 3. They are a part of athletics now 4. No dancing for long periods of time on the court. ( Request per alumni) 5. No stands 6. style of dance 7. outfits 8. EVERYTHING!

It's not about who requested ... it's about who was dumb enough to do it...
