RE: Thamel: Sun Belt considering expanding by 4
the CAA to ban JMU from all conference title games and tournaments, active immediately, for winter and spring sports (fall sports are safe).. if they decide to move to the sunbelt.. since the caa is a 1 bid league in most sports..they have been given a ban on every major tournament for the rest of the year

its a conference bylaw that allows it, but the caa presidents had the ability to ignore the rule, but overwhelming voted to reinforce it yesterday

noting this because it guarantees JMU despite being the last to get accept an invite might be the 1st to move.. its a virtual guarantee that they are in the sunbelt in the 2022 cycle .. no one else is expected to move til 2023

USM and Marshall have both been significant G5 football schools, and it's not all 1960's history. Brett Favre and Randy Moss are older, but they're not ancient history.

So far as the AAC was concerned, though, looking at them as possible invites, they both were down a good bit from their high water marks. More than that, it's hard to see where any growth and increase due to joining the AAC was going to come from. Their fan and donor base are fairly limited, and their home towns are not on a big growth arc either.

I think that being in a more active and geographically sensible Sun Belt helps them some, as well as being a change from a C-USA that was way too spread out, poorly run, and had the worst media deal in the NCAA. If nothing else, making that move will stir things up a bit for their fans.

We are officially way off topic now with this thread and a few others. Cleaning up some of the non-AAC stuff o would help the board to get back to normal and clear out most of the riff raff still lingering. We are done at least temporarily with realignment and it's hard to sort through the other stuff to find the AAC stuff and almost zero of those AAC threads come without some chirping from other conferences fans, who hang around for these off topic threads.
