These schools can't be that stupid.

UMASS going indy makes no sense, they must have a plan b.
Same for JMU.

JMU doesn't need a "plan B" as it is not under the gun. If it doesn't get an invite, or if it does, but it is not a situation that it finds ideal, it can just stay in a very good FCS CAA.
I suspect that, barring an invite to CUSA to partner with ODU, JMU's future is going to be tied to Delaware. They will likely move together or not at all.
EDIT: I think (just a gut feeling, no inside info) that JMU would rather stay in the CAA, but would be forced to consider a move if UD started looking elsewhere. UD is JMU's only real peer now in the CAA unless SBU joined for all sports.
