Quotes from KHON about JJ and SMU

About the JJ to SMU news, Kamele Kapaona of Honolulu said:
“I think it's disappointing and I hope that the university will step up to the plate. The university's cheap. I mean they want so much from everybody but they don't want to pay for it.” (KHON)

Former UH TE Kent Untermann said what UH and the state needs to do to keep JJ:
"The governor and the legislature have to raise $25 million and let June (Jones) know that we're really going to do something about the facilities. We need new leadership at the athletics department. June (Jones) would never say that but I'll say it for him - if we don't have a new athletics director June (Jones) will be gone." (KHON)

About how they have to take away some of UH's autonomy and specify what certain taxpayer funds need to be used for, Rep. Takai said:
“I think in the near future we're going to have to start going back to what we had originally done and specifically designate taxpayer funds for specific improvements. Things like Cooke Field need to be renovated. The coaches’ offices as well as the training room facilities need to be renovated and improved.” (KHON)

Warrior fan Kyle Kamakura talked about UH's poor facilities:
"You can go to like a high school…a private school like Kamehameha or Punahou and they got better facilities then what we have over here at the University of Hawaii. We're on the lower half of the nation as far as facilities.” (KHON)

About what he'd think if JJ left for SMU, UH fan Francis Tung said:
"I wouldn't hold it against him. If people move for a good reason, that's okay." (KHON)
