What in the world is JMU doing with their money? They were reportedly paying Cignetti a base salary of roughly $550k this year which is lowest in the sunbelt but have nearly identical revenue as liberty who's paying chadwell 7x more at $4 million. JMU sponsord 18 sports to our 20 so it's not like money is being spread across more sports either.

JMU funds Olympic scholarships at the Top of G5 and probably competitive with plenty of P5 schools. That is how you make three NCAA tournaments in a fall season that doesn't include the best team at JMU, women's lacrosse.
