Apparently the faculty senate has stated they would already give Alger a vote of no confidence if JMU was moved to any FBS conference. Alger might not want to rock the boat that much this early on in his tenure, but leaders are meant to lead. I understand it's a lot to handle this early on, but he had to have known that this could be an issue when he took the job as President.
