There are hardly any FCS programs with perennially strong basketball teams. I would say that supports the argument we have seen debated for a decade on this board in the Conference Rumor thread. JMU is in no man’s land for having a $51 million athletics budget. FCS cost containment football and awful basketball = very low ROI.

Villanova would be the shining example of FCS football and consistently strong hoops.
Dayton and Georgetown masquerade as FCS football and have strong hoops but they really don’t try to compete in FCS football using limited resources there. The rest of the FCS is inconsistent at best in hoops.

All other athletic programs in the NCAA who want to excel at both revenue sports football and basketball are FBS and invest accordingly in both. JMU is the clear outlier and has been sitting on the pot for way too long as other programs have taken action and bypassed the Dukes into the land of milk & honey.
