Old Dominion University is a Carnegie R2 National doctoral public research university in Norfolk, Virginia. Enrollment is 24k+

It was established in 1930 as the Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary. In 1962 it became Old Dominion University.

The name "Old Dominion" is the State of Virginia's nickname, given to the state by King Charles II of England for remaining loyal to the crown during the English Civil War.

Thus Virginia Cavaliers because the Cavaliers supported monarchy over the republic.

Interesting that Virginia was arguably only behind Massachusetts in revolutionary fervor. Primarily because Massachusetts lost most of its home rule which alarmed the Virginia leaders.

First reduction of home rule came from the Boston martyrs incidents killing Quakers in the 1660s and accelerated in the 1750s.

Not to throw a monkey wrench in this Virginia love fest, but Marshall was founded when we were still Virginia. This makes Marshall an older Virginia school than ODU and JMU.

The more you know!

Can ODU, as originally a satellite campus of William&Mary, claim W&M history? Because few can compete with W&M in terms of age. While W&M claims itself to be second only to Harvard in the US based on official charter, it could be argued it is even older since it can trace an indirect lineage to a school near present day Richmond founded to convert the Powhatan before the Pilgrims even landed at Plymouth Rock.

If ODU can claim William & Mary history then Georgia State can claim Georgia Tech's as GSU was originally Tech's Evening School of Commerce. That means Georgia State has a football National Championship under its belt.

Indeed, why not?

Does JMU have to wait for the full 2 years to become full participation member for football or can it ask the NCAA and the conference to waive the 2 year transition period if we feel ready to go earlier? Other sports already compete at that level so can they start in the conference as soon as their season starts?

JMU will have to go through the transition process I think.

Are we talking about the Bruce Jenner transition or the FCS to FBS reclassification transition? There's so much media misinformation out there that all of us are in a generally confused state of apprehension waiting/pleading for just some good hopeful news that doesn't make us collectively puke! I hope college football decides in general to stop "transitioning" if you will. College football fans love rivalries and regionalization...not TBA scheduled games that end up being 7PM night games in November.

2024: Scholarships must be at 85 and you are eligible for all FBS Postseason events.

If this were true Blake Anderson would have never taken A-State to A bowl game . . .

You'd have to go through a CUSA mod when that happens or a super mod (names are shown in orange across the various boards) and explain the situation and see if the ban can be reversed.
