They're simply too far west for the MAC, even as a duo. Put them in Iowa or east of there and we'd talk, but not now. Football-only is also out of the question after basically getting used by UCF, Temple, and UMass until they didn't need us anymore.

Had UMass accepted our all-sports offer we almost certainly would've offered JMU as the 14th school. In a perfect world the MAC would be able to shed BG, Kent, and EMU for JMU, Marshall, and Cincy imo, but that ain't happening.

I doubt that Bowling Green, Kent STate or EMU would consider that a perfect world.
