But from some of the comments, I think many of you are still convinced you've got the MAC, CUSA, and the AAC all ready to call you at a moments notice.

I specifically said the post wasn't about Liberty, but about the attitude of JMU. Every opportunity you get you make a special point to hammer Liberty. We all get it, you're in the camp with Tom, Panama and the crazy poster from Western.

If I were a fan of one of the SB schools I would rather wait a year or two and say screw the championship game. Let's wait for a school that really wants to be in the conference. One poster on the JMU board went as far as to say let's tell the SB yes, start our transition and when we're FBS we'll be more attractive and possibly will never have to plat a game in the SB.

Charlie King or Jeff Bourne perhaps? Or are you making some ill-founded and poorly advised assumptions based on a bunch of bored guys at desk jobs posting on a freaking sports message board? Really? really?

JMU is a fine school, but they have the attitude of Alabama fans in football with the trophy case of Ga. State. Technically in the camp with 46% of posters on this board that found LU least desirable. 2 to 1 margin over UMASS..3 to 1 margin over EKU, 5 to1 margin over JMU and 12 to 1 margin over Mizz St. It's astounding really. JMU 12 8.89% Missouri State 5 3.70% Umass 34 25.19% Liberty* 63 46.67% EKU 21 15.56% Total 135 votes 100% RE: Reports out of missouri saying JMU and MSU recieved invite - All Dukes_All Day - 04-10-2014 03:12 PM (04-10-2014 03:00 PM)chiefsfan Wrote:(04-10-2014 02:41 PM)JMUDunk Wrote:(04-10-2014 02:25 PM)Libertygrad01 Wrote: After reading the JMU board I'm amazed at the love fest going on between most of the posters here and JMU.

Nobody thinks JMU is going to the AAC...one guy keeps saying it COULD happen, but I'm not sure he even believes himself. Few believe the C-USA is likely anytime soon and most have also acknowledged that the MAC appears to be content. We must be reading different message boards because most posters on the Dukes page are basically saying "Jesus Christ, take the Sun Belt offer already!"

Some LU bashing is just friendly pokes some lean toward hatred. I get it and it's understandable LU isn't doing itself any favors. If all this SBC stuff doesn't pan out LU should really take a step back and try and fix the issues.

Just for fun here's his post. That's the way I am reading this as well. JMU doesn't really want SBC, but fan backlash of they stay FCS Would be immense. If JMU is not involved, Liberty can probably get the 9 votes needed to join, but as long as JMU is on the table, there is little chance that 9 SBC schools would voluntarily take Liberty.

I don't think 135 votes on one thread is a enough data to determine a trend across an entire conference.

Generally though, its a lot easier to point out the one negative...because he is the one who gets quoted all the time by SBC Fans. Such as the one guy who made the really idiotic, invite us football only and MAYBE we'll consider joining all sports if you impress us type comment. Because of the quote feature, I can read that post 12 times...but the people claiming "Take the stupid invite and get us out of the CAA already" get left to the side.

JMU is a fine school, but they have the attitude of Alabama fans in football with the trophy case of Ga. State. Fair enough! I guess it pisses me off a little that JMU has a golden opportunity to move to big boy football and it appears to me about half of the posters see the SB as below them when several other schools that would jump at the opportunity. Travel cost and missed class time for student athletes should be considered for sure, but it's not going to be much better in the other conferences you guys would prefer.

I would love to have a much larger sample, but alas this is the largest congregation of sunbelt fans in one spot on the net. BTW liked you last post about stepping back and looking at the issues as opposed to beating the same horse.

It's really just illustrating how little some folks want Liberty. It's not hard to get those results when you have a handful of posters constantly taking every jab possible at LU. Every election is basically won by who can be the most negative. There's some on here that win hands down. RE: Reports out of missouri saying JMU and MSU recieved invite - All Dukes_All Day - 04-10-2014 03:24 PM I think the faculty has more sway at JMU than other schools who are poised to move up currently. All reports show that the JMU faculty is strongly against any move up in general (let alone the Sun Belt) and I am beginning to think our new President may be too limp di(ked to call them out on it and move the university forward from an athletic standpoint anyway.

This is why I say LU is still in it, because I think there is a good chance JMU says no. It's all still open. And I actually believe Liberty is much closer today than they were because they willingly and totally want to be in the SBC. Still don't get why they would prefer a school that would only take them in a gun to the head situation. I also think it's interesting that LU has the funds to travel tennis to TxSt just fine, but JMU is worried this may really hurt them financially.

One would think that would be unnecessary if Liberty had the 9 votes. On the other hand, we also know the SBC is at least thinking about Liberty, and my guess is that we would not actually be having reasonable negotiations with Liberty if they still had zero votes like they did this time last year. My guess is you have a vote tally somewhere in between. Not 9...but close enough to 9 that you stand a chance to sway enough people to get a spot.
