They may have a 20,000 seat stadium by 2030.

Ummmm the new arena that opened this past November took about 18 months to complete and was opened on schedule. Not sure where you are getting your 2008 date from...possibly a smaller past renovation of the old Pritchard gym?

Some of these schools are growing the same way JMU is- they are on the upswing. So when folks criticize their inclusion in todays CAA as being beneath JMU they are being short sighted. Even schools that were rumored to be all sports or FB CAA targets like Coastal Carolina or Albany are making moves from an Athletics standpoint. That doesn't take away from the things JMU has done and is doing.

yes yes yes, a thousand times YES.
