Indeed, and that call should be made at 11AM tomorrow once the state approves of the move up.

Alabama has an opening in 2023 and not many P5 programs do.
They probably pay $1.5 million + and the game would have more national media exposure than JMU has ever had.

Gotta do it. Saban is now 24-1 against his former assistant coaches after losing to Jimbo this year. The ice has been broken!

Scheduling will be tough the 2 next years with most teams already booked.
JMU needs to be on a full court press starting tomorrow signing contracts. Why not start with the best?
We have to fund this move up.
One game against Alabama is 30% of what is needed each year for incremental FBS expense.

More media attention than defeating a ranked VT FB team? More than 2 CGDs? More than the JMU Softball WWS run?

Playing Alabama would be great. Being beat by Alabama by 40 points? Not so much.

Let’s all agree to stop with the “just glad to be here” mentality. JMU always comes to compete and win. JMU should never be seen as an opponent’s “pushover” or cupcake. JMU is about to take a step (in football) that many fans have been begging to happen. But JMU is not a beggar. Recite the lyrics to the school song.
