I would say James Madison will replace Appy as one of our Non-Conference games.Not sure how you pull that off with the scheduling but I’m all for it.
We enter at a good time next year. Appy, LA and Coastal, all lose a bunch of heavy hitters in starters
I’ll believe it when the announcement is made
Unlikely... We are already playing Norfolk State. JMU would give us 2 FCS games meaning one of those wouldn't count towards bowl eligibility.I would say James Madison will replace Appy as one of our Non-Conference games.
I’ll be shocked if JMU doesn’t move up early too.Unlikely... We are already playing Norfolk State. JMU would give us 2 FCS games meaning one of those wouldn't count towards bowl eligibility.
Apply would become a Sun Belt game and we would try to schedule a CUSA team that would have been on our schedule next year as a nonconference game.
They could but there is a mandatory transition period. Maybe that could be accelerated. I read somewhere that the teams moving to CUSA were going to petition the NCAA.I’ll be shocked if JMU doesn’t move up early too.
Lex is right, it's far easier to move conferences than it is to go from FCS to FBS... I doubt JMU will be able to jump for 2022. Much more likely they join in 2023.I’ll be shocked if JMU doesn’t move up early too.
Why?@The Real SamC will become triggered in 3..2..1....
You’re right on both regards with JMU. They will be FBS transitional next season so no worries on the bowl side. They aren’t eligible for the FCS playoffs, for instance.They could but there is a mandatory transition period. Maybe that could be accelerated. I read somewhere that the teams moving to CUSA were going to petition the NCAA.
I believe some CUSA teams have some OOC openings next season. Maybe we could get one of them in Huntington to have another FBS team.l on the schedule and not another FCS team.

The easiest route is just to pick up one of FIU, MTSU, WKU as a nonconference game next year and keep App as an early conference game.
The same ones that told you that the Sun Belt agreement was on the verge of collapse, as well as Simon Perry is dead?Just get my news from people that aren't "freelance journalists" who "hear" things.
Sam,Why?
Before this thread had you ever heard of either Shane Mettlen or DNR Sports?
I hadn't.
So, some guy, is "hearing" this or that. A quick look at the Google machine says he is a "freelance journalist" (AKA unemployed) who lives somewhere near James Madison and sometime appears on this "DNR" which is "Daily News Record" which is Harrisonburg's local paper, circulation about 20K.
Does this mean this isn't happening? No idea.

Weird, it is almost as if @wvkeeper(HN) posted the same link two responses above yours.Sun Belt Expansion of 4 Schools Expected to Happen This Summer, With One Exception
The Sun Belt is expected to add its new members sooner than some expected.espnlafayette.com
Yeah, I see that now. Not sure what is going on. I’ve had to log back in a few times today and things haven’t updated at times.Weird, it is almost as if @wvkeeper(HN) posted the same link two responses above yours.
Are you still on 28.8 or have you finally upgraded to 56k?Yeah, I see that now. Not sure what is going on. I’ve had to log back in a few times today and things haven’t updated at times.
Another Sam football prediction goes to shit?? Who could have known that was going to happen??
Didn’t predict a thing, dumbass.Does this mean this isn't happening? No idea.
The most accurate think Sammy has said about football in months.No idea.
In other words, you tried to talk smack. Links were provided, proving you DEAD WRONG, so you edit a response (the one that PROVED you WRONG) to make a childish joke.The most accurate think Sammy has said about football in months.
Sammy is mad. Watching you whine and moan...and usually get "football" wrong is fun. Move on Sammy. NM St is waiting on their bowl predictions too.In other words, you tried to talk smack.

You should quit. You look stupid. Especially since you have stated that you expect nothing from the football team for a half decade to come.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂being right, almost all the time.
I feel like these moves happening are making it more definite that Marshall is in the SBC asapOne of the two basketball only teams in the SBC has found a home. In the increasingly mis-named Ohio Valley Conference. Arkansas-Little Rock will start play in the OVC next year.
Little Rock Receives Board Approval to Join Ohio Valley Conference
This afternoon, the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas approved Little Rock's transition to the Ohio Valley Conference as the Trojans will begin competing in the OVC effective July 1, 2022.ovcsports.com
The other, Texas-Arlington is apparently trying to decide if it wants to restart football. It dropped football in the mid 80s but still has a 12.5K seat stadium in good shape. Its future conference membership will depend on that decision.
Makes sense why they sold the basebal field property. They needed the cash for an exit fee?
