You'd be hard-pressed to convince me that JMU's "athletic program" as a whole would be improved by moving to the Sunbelt.

I think that i have made it very clear in my post above.

Indeed. I was referring to Saint who mentioned the impending death of the "athletic program."

Gotcha. It is easy to get caught up and not separate the two. I asked some time ago if anyone had a comparison of our FB budget vs peer universities. We often bring up our overall athletic budget.

The way I see it, we are forced to have an overall higher budget due to having to provide more women's scholarships, coaches, travel etc. over schools who have closer to a 50/50 split male to female ratio. To be honest, I really haven't taken a close look at the sports offered by those we often compare ourselves.

See a lot of players tweeting ab8ut the recruits coming this weekend. Nice to see them stepping up and trying to lead the program. That should show huge for recruits that current players want them bad enough to step up and lead the weekend.

That impressed me as well. Hopefully it's also a meet and greet with a new head coach.
