If CAA schools are in the know on this than at a minimum, they’ve been talking to JMU.

I think its difficult to work JMU into this.

It sounds like they want to take about 8 schools from CUSA which leaves 2 spots to round out the conference. If I had to give two spots I'd give them to Georgia St for the Atlanta market and then App St for their football strength.

I'm just not seeing where JMU would be high up on the priority list here as an FCS school in a small market. ODU might not mind them in the conference but I doubt they are a top priority.

Georgia State is in Atlanta but they do not have the Atlanta market. Shopping for big city markets is what got CUSA in this mess to start with.

Get Appy State and Georgia Southern and call it a day.

Marshall
WKU
MTSU
ODU
Charlotte
FAU
FIU
UAB
Southern Miss
La Tech
Appy State
Georgia Southern

if no Southern Miss and La Tech

Troy
Coastal Carolina

What you're proposing is 12 schools though which kind of defeats the purpose of a split.

8 or 10 makes a lot more sense financially to split the pie less ways.
