Whatever side of this you identify with, continuing with a season could open JMU up to accusations of not protecting players (whether those accusations be true or not) or counter-recruiting pitches that we decided to go it with out being safe. If we cancel a season you open yourself up to transfers like other schools are having.

There are many other intended and unintended consequences outside of these listed ones no matter which one you think is right.

I think the testing numbers that Madia has been reporting are proof that JMU is going it safe. And I can't for the life of me believe that JMU has gone this far with the testing, and they would seriously even consider not playing. They can meet the testing standards and protocols of every conference.
We out recruit ODU, and many other MAC, Sun Belt and CUSA schools. And we do it by selling our pseudo FBS/G5 brand to recruits. And that sell job works to perfection!! That very important recruiting angle is over and done if we cancel the season.
