Matt Brown has shot again the CollegeAD story over on CSNbbs.
CollegeAD clearly looking to get some clicks with a "juicy story" that no longer has legs, though may have at some point?
This is football only but the management of the league and what they would be willing to do remains to be seen. We have some other questions (i.e. Murray State's future in the OVC, the 'focus' of the...
Behind a paywall but the Southland and Ohio Valley are apparently at it again. This would be a football-only merger of the leagues.
I thought this thing had died down but maybe not? Perhaps the...
Here are my proposed schedules for the three teams as they navigate what a 'year early' could look like.
James Madison 2022 Schedule
Home: FCS (Weber St), FBS (Jacksonville St), 4 Sun Belt teams...
Football, soccer & track/field.
No questions there. Baseball, softball are on par with what we're dealing with. Basketball could be improved (i.e. practice gym for hoops/volleyball) but it's also...
You just regurgitated what I said, what I quoted in the initial post as saying the Sun Belt has given you eight games, looking for a fifth FBS home game, etc.
Only difference is that I have also...
Hope you are keeping up with the benjamins...
Schools moving from FCS to FBS should be able to add $4-5M to their budget at minimum with two FBS game guarantee checks, enhanced revenues from...
Your post is aligned with the hopeful trajectory of James Madison that I have shared in the initial post and some of my subsequent responses.
Until some of the dominoes begin falling (which will...
Sam Houston is apparently on track to add women's beach volleyball (pending who you ask) but yet again, Sam Houston is over the threshold with 17 total sports offerings. Of the sports, 16 presently...
I think we are all about to get some answers! Just as the NIL thing was a big deal that was largely overlooked by most of the population, fan bases - I suspect the NCAA constitutional changes will be...
Your third paragraph nails it.
James Madison cannot leave the Colonial until all sports including football have a home. Leaving the Colonial without football having a home will make it a challenge...
Libertine, as a longtime poster - I figure you would know how fans routinely get hung up on the sport sponsorship situation. Sam Houston has 17 sports. I am going to presume that you failed to count...
All three schools can get up to 85 scholarships when they want. It does not make sense in many regards due to wanting to balance the classes and things of that nature...
In JMU's case, the desire...
I recently listened to the radio interview that JMU AD Bourne did with ESPN in Harrisonburg.
Quick synopsis:
James Madison is seeking to eliminate one year from the FCS to FBS...
The latest about the Southland...
The Southland was turned down by UTRGV & Texas-Arlington according to Matt Brown... apparently Angelo State & Midwestern State can be added to this count...
...
Some light reading... you may want to jump to page 12 in particular of the document linked to from the release below.

Draft constitution
The current draft of the constitution reduces the...
Wondering what coaches you are keeping tabs on as it relates to the "hot seat" as we get down the stretch. Have some folks to add to the listing?
I largely focus on the WAC and Southland, so these...
They are not eligible for the AQ7 and the automatic bid.
Both leagues are contesting championships though and will award a champion separate from the AQ7 title.
Tarleton is eligible for the WAC...
I believe it - if the recent storms did not throw a wrench into things, we would have probably heard about McNeese joining the WAC by now or at least more smoke to the situation. I am very curious to...
The WAC is not looking at the Southland unless any of the member institutions make significant changes via Matt Brown… wonder how much Central Arkansas feels the same about their former brethren from...
The Southland as of right now is only short in men's tennis as it relates to meeting the NCAA threshold for AQ status. Numerous sports are at the number six.
One less sport in which they are below the minimum threshold for NCAA AQ eligibility; can rip up at least one waiver request
Joining a league is a long-term decision (G-d willing for those involved), right? Not having McNeese State would seem to be a blow to what remains for the Southland Conference and their hopes for...
