This is mostly just a rebranding of what we were doing for years with FVB. We're still waiting for great ideas from the new product team. When we were part of FHEG this was the team that generated the most buzz for a while.

Anything new from this leadership team? FVC/FVB has been around for 10 years at least. The definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Go with Amazon virtual college store (Cal ucdavis), better deal for students and school. http://news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=10818

Call me crazy, but I don't think people are going to pay to have their Slim Jims shipped to them.
