I just hope we are conference championship and bowl elidgable in 2023. JB needs to get that waiver.

JMU should be hearing something about the university’s waiver request soon. Still early though. Didn’t JMU host the visiting “fact finders” in December?

My best guess (based on other types of accreditation-process deliberations by established organizations), there will be a formal written report documenting the findings of the visitors, and then an announced response/action taken on the report in mid-to-late Spring by the NCAA. This likely means a late March to mid-April decision. In round numbers, we’re talking about another 90 days before a decision is released. Hope I’m wrong and a favorable ruling comes sooner. It should be a slam-dunk in JMU’s favor.

Believe the latest I had seen on this was JMU was planning to submit the final paperwork around March. Believe Mettlen reported this. Officially they have until June to complete the application. It wouldn’t shock me if it takes 30-90 days after for the decision to be formally announced. So my guess is we get the answer between April and June.

I would find it almost impossible to believe JMU would be submitting paperwork about a waiver in March, 2023. There certainly might be some exchange of information after a formal visit or the initial submission of the waiver request, but submitting “final paperwork” in March? That makes little sense to me. All of the pertinent facts were known in December, and would be documented long before March.

Of course we’re all on the outside looking in. It would be nice to receive some official clarification about where JMU is in the process from JB.

I'm with Longhorn in wondering why final submission ( and presumably when the ball gets rolling for the waiver ), would/should take so long. But the NCAA does its best to rival governmental decisions in terms of efficiency & expediency, so I wouldn't be surprised if true.

Selfishly, I want an early positive decision so that bowl game eligibility won't be a negative. There will no doubt be some new portal guys available after the spring practices and I'd like us to not have to deal with that again.

the NCAA has visited campus (last fall) but I don't think JMU's submitted the waiver yet. My understanding was that it should be a pretty quick review once we submit, and there was an NCAA reason for the window of WHEN we could submit the waiver but I can't recall what it was. It wasn't just that we can send it in whenever we want (say, last fall or earlier) and ask "pretty please"

When Liberty did their FBS waiver (which was not the same scenario) they submitted in January and were notified in February.
