That’s actually quite true; while it was heralded as being hired away from State Penn, he did them a favor as he would’ve been pushed out one way or another.

Sounds like how we ended up with Withers

Yep. Ohio State fans were happy Withers was gone. When you don't hear anger from the team's fans that left, that's not a great sign. Citidel fans weren't happy when Houston left and neither were Elon fans when Cignetti left.
When they throw parties for guys after they leave, there might have a problem.
The guy could crush it as head coach, but I have serious doubts.

OP updated after Greg Madia reports that the UNC game scheduled for 2025 is moved to 2024, after we scheduled the 2025 game with Virginia Tech instead.

JMU Athletics announcing all electronic ticketing in 2020. More contactless options. So basically just like playoffs for tickets and parking passes.

I’ll miss that STH booklet they send out, it was well prepared and appeared 1st rate.

It's much easier than that - they will likely have playerless and fanless football.

Not happening........

9/19/20 FB game at UNC is likely cancelled due to CoVID-19. Awaiting formal confirmation from one of the two parties before removing from the original post.

But it’s been reported the ACC will help out ?Norte Dane to fill their schedule.

Notre Dame is almost a quasi associate member of ACC, it wouldn't be shocking to see them officially join someday.

Would love to see us schedule ND this year, if they have open slots and are willing to do so.

Well, we'd be their 1st FCS school they've played in their history. Somebody's got to be the first!

I'm good with a 2 fer 1

These periods of uncertainty and dislocation create enormous opportunity for JMU.

Do we have the right people in place to make deals?

Who are they to be asking for a return game?

Yes.

The CAA will cancel the fall sports season but JMU plans to try to still hold a season with whatever they can manage to cobble together. Throw the 2020 schedule in the waste bin.

...with the provision that the NCAA sanctions post-season FCS playoffs. As much as we all want to see JMU FB played this season, I can’t see the NCAA holding FCS playoffs, which gives JMU an out for cancelling the 2020 season.

Could be a test season for the FBS transition

Did CC just announce that we are basically Indy?

Saw a post FBS team, this year, will be able to count two FCS teams toward bowl eligibility. That should help if you guys with scheduling this fall.
