JMU reminds me of both App and GSU before we got the official invite.

GSU's previous Pres and A.D. bashed the SBC publicly and had no intentions of ever going FBS. We had numerous fans who looked down on the sbc and only wanted to move if it was for the CUSA (or even SEC/ACC ). We were also fed the line that in order to support a move up we would need 25Million/year in funding. So every time you asked one of the Baker's dozen (or Baker the A.D.) about a move to FBS, you would get the standard answer,"Are you going to write a check for $25M?" They even did a feasibility study that was given restrictions by the Pres (like not ever raising student fees) to "prove" it couldn't be done. Only when a new President and then a new A.D. were in place did we see any changes in this attitude. The new admin is completely opposite and very pro athletics.
Also, even when we were serious about moving up there was a lot of speculation and rumor right upto about a week before the official invite. So all these rumors are just that, rumors. Until mid to late May comes around I won't believe them. But it is/was fun to guess what the future might hold.

I feel for JMU fans. Their admin. could be costing them a seat at the grownups table (well at least one closer). I think FCS will be completely out of the room in the near future.
