JMU shafted on the basketball front as well.

Tommy Boy at work again.

Agree. JMU didn't do anything last year to deserve TV consideration. Brady has to prove he is capable of producing a product that people positively care about. Until then.....

That's not the reason. League Commissioner has input ( significant amount ) into NBC games - between Football and BBALL this has his stamp written all over it. Its (been) time to get out the small time CAA.

I think it says something when JMU gets no national media from it's own conference. Especially considering how much ole Tommy Boy used to love to showcase JMU.

we led the conference in men's, women's and football attendance.

that alone should warrant at least ONE men's game at home on NBCSN.

We've shown our unwavering commitment to the CAA over the past 6 years. We might actually qualify as the most loyal school in all of college football. 3 invites and not a smidgen of movement.
If that isn't loyalty, i don't know what is. Pay attention tommy boy. We're your flagship.

While I get what you're saying, TV viewership for CAA games isn't materially impacted by the number of people in the stands. We haven't played consistent quality basketball. There are other teams who have earned TV spots more than us.

Doesn't Yeager's kid work for JMU athletics? Maybe he doesn't want to look like he's playing favorites. Oh, and our basketball program is a hot mess.
