Quote from: Chairman of the Board on July 26, 2021, 12:49:32 pmi agree there is always fallout and that JMU is headed for 1A. however, how do you get there logically? what about the Big12 departures gives JMU the window to move? Unless you mean to the Big12 perhaps??? or perhaps your prediction (which i very much appreciate) is that there'll be so much other movement in between FBS and FCS that there'll be openings somehwere... thanks.JMU is looking for an invite to the AAC. That's what they're waiting on. Bourne doesn't want to be an Independent, and he turned down a C-USA offer a few years ago. Now the Dukes have no chance, as it currently stands, to get an AAC offer, but if there were to be a massive shakeup of the BIG 12 post OU and Texas departures, with some AAC team gaining invites to the BIG 12, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for maybe, JMU to receive an offer. Now that's a long shot. And no, SBU will not receive an FBS offer until the team show consistency on the field for more than two seasons, upgrades the stadium and not just seating capacity, builds legitimate lockerrooms for both home and away teams, upgrades the press box, adds real suites, and much more. It won't happen because the school doesn't have the money for the upgrades or the coaching staff to pull it off.

In terms of $$$: if only Heilbron didn't alienate the one billionaire donor who regularly gave a lot to the school financially… that alone is a moron move. He could single-handedly find a stadium upgrade. A valuable resource that idiot Heilborn chose to cast aside.

These moves at the P5 always have far reaching massive trickle down effects. The gist of it is that Texas and OU leaving the Big 12 cause the Big 12 to raid the AAC for replacement schools, which causes the AAC to raid CUSA/the Sun Belt/JMU for replacements, which causes those leagues to search for replacements, and in all of that shuffling, the idea is that one or two spots open up in the FBS for a few schools. In a dream world SBU would get one of those spots, but that's not happening most likely. I mention the CAA collapsing because JMU leaving could be the straw that breaks the camel's back and causes Richmond, William and Mary, UNCW, CoC etc. to look elsewhere, which opens the door for the America East to grab a couple schools. The CAA has no cohesion with football and non football, public and private, northern and southern... all kinds of different instiutions with no cohesion there. That makes them easy pickings potentially once JMU is gone. With Hartford dropping to D3 we should try and pull in some replacements.
Fellas, all this talk about SB football going FBS this and joining Buffalo, Temple, etc... SB football was just picked to finish in 10th out of 12 spot in the CAA. I think that is actually a little better than what I would have picked.Unless this university cleans house and starts all over again, this program is finished.https://twitter.com/CAAFootball/status/1420008570611933184

I put zero stock in these polls.
