James Madison waiver request

I did see on ESPN that there is a clause that if there aren't enough bowl eligible teams to fill all 76 spots, then JMU can be placed in one of those unfilled spaces.

Basically, the Dukes need to root against every 4 win and 5 win team the next two weeks.

It’s honestly a joke at this point. Not only are they bowl eligible, but one of the better teams in the country.

At this point, the NCAA should have no say in football... Run the other sports, make a billion off the basketball tournament, and leave football to a separate board of league commissioners, executives, etc.

It's kinda like the PGA and The Masters... It's a PGA event, but Augusta National runs shit and they don't particularly care what the PGA thinks.
 
shame on NCAA and disappointed for the SBC. JMU could have represented the SBC in the NY6 game
 
The rule is stupid. I can see its purpose in reverse, making a team sit out as it moves back down, but it makes no sense this way.

JMU knew the rules when it signed up.

Anybody who thinks JMU is "one of the best teams in the country" doesn't follow football very much.

I agree with you... Its a pretty weak G5 year... Tulane, Liberty and JMU are the best there is and I don't think that any of them are top 20. Tulane is on track for the NY6 game, where they will play the Big12 runner up in the Peach Bowl, since the Peach Bowl has last pick of the NY6 games this year.
 
I think it's a silly rule.
Guarantee it was said in JMU board meetings when making the decision to move up that they wouldn't be bowl eligible.
It is what it is.

They're only making this kind of noise because they're actually successful.
I doubt you'd hear them complaining if they're 6-4.

NCAA has to punish someone for michigans cheating
They're not punishing anyone. JMU knew this was the deal when they made the transition. It's not like they got blindsided by all of this.

What this boils down to is JMU is probably lose their HC and their AD is retiring so they are trying everything they can to cash in while they still can.

Still they knew this was the deal. If they were 1-3 games over .500 I don't think they'd be screaming this much about it. The fans are acting like a bunch of babies because they don't understand it and think they're getting screwed.

You made the agreement and have appealed 2 or 3 times and have been given a ruling. Accept it and move on.

Except that’s not the point. The bar is “would they be the best G5 conference champion”. Having watched, I think they would be.

If nothing else, the SBC conference should let them play in the championship game. That way Troy has a chance to beat them. That would boost their chances. Beating Coastal in the champ game doesn’t help Troy’s case.

Lighten up Francis. It was said tongue in cheek because that’s usually how the ncaa operates.

You can’t be serious.

That’s like being asked “Ginger or Maryanne” and picking the millionaire’s wife.

You can't be serious. You don't know it's "Mary Ann"? Wow, and yet you still hold yourself out to be the smartest guy on this forum...

This is fun. And easy...
 
Well, the Blonde look is not my favorite look. I'll pick the dark/red haired woman with a bit of attitude anytime. Plus from some of her comments, our choices of music is pretty similar. Rock and Roll baby.
