Noticed last week that Leota was no longer on the online roster. Was on the SDSU game notes roster, but not on the NDSU game notes roster that just came out.

JMU doesn’t have a good record with hyped transfers from S Carolina..

Good find. Also, Donahue is now listed as Bethea's backup at LG on the two deep.

Leota's Twitter and Facebook still indicate he is a JMU Student Athlete. So, hopefully this is a temporary hiatus.

There is a limit to the number of players that can travel. Maybe 60? There are 90 players on our roster so a lot of guys are not traveling with the team.

That's probably all that the NCAA will pay for, not a limit. NDSU brings every single player to TX.

How did you learn this info? They might be the only school that brings everyone. What is the size of their roster?

Their coach mentioned it in his press conference, and it sounded like NDSU is the exception on this.

NCAA offically allows an active squad size of 70, and full team “travel party” of 145 with sideline personnel, etc. They have a form for “additional student athletes” not on the roster that has 40 slots. Its not clear to me what portion of the expenses are covered for the travel party.
