Southern Miss made a try for the B12 too :) We were hoping they wanted to get inside the SEC's territory.

And these are just the ones that are known. I have no doubt that other SBC schools have made requests to join P4 conferences. You can request anything you want.

Great question. JMU's president has publicly stated that it's our goal, but we have never publicly acknowledged making a membership request (and being denied). It's uncommon for a school to acknowledge that sort of thing, but it wouldn't surprise me if JMU and other SBC schools have requested ACC membership. All we can really do is speculate. No one is actually going to the ACC or Big 12 unless there's a cataclysmic event, but that won't stop schools from inquiring.

I remember that one Big 12 committee report or meeting minutes or whatever it was that got out that had us on a preliminary candidate list. We didn’t make it past the first cut IIRC.
