I agree. The northeast conference was a lot more attractive before Penn State, Syracuse, WVU, BC and others found homes. What’s left is not an option for JMU.

We’re in a funny spot geographically because we can be a northern school if we want—and most of our kids are from NOVA and points north—or a southern school, because outside of NOVA, Virginia is culturally a southern state. We went south. That’s why the rest of the conference sees us as the smart Yankee kids who are an odd fit. At first they tried to call us hillbillies like they do App State, but that’s not us at all.
