It's in the middle of nowhere (MSA of 126k and a town pop. of 45k). I thought we were talking about an Old Dominion type school here; we aren't.
No great loss in not having JMU on board....might even be better off.
It's a wanna-be-Yankee App State twin with less athletic accomplishments and a bigger ego.
That's the point I was getting at; they have really no room to look down their noses at the Sun Belt....they aint all that.
Now, now how many of us can say we're an alumnus of a school named after a dead president?
