Cardinal News keeps proving one thing: if you’re honest about how you fund athletics, you’ll get punished for it in headlines.

Other schools may hide that student funding in other accounting ways, but even if you account for all "institutional support," JMU has the second most school-subsidized athletic program in the country. A database of athletic funding shows how JMU is using student fees to make up for lack of donors and TV revenue to support the football program that this weekend plays in the NCAA's 12-team playoff bracket.

I may be biased as I’m rooting for the Sun Belt in this one - but the officiating has been terrible in this game.

The Cure for the Common Bowl Game, ODU has trouble with the snap on the FG, resulting in the Kicker getting a holding penalty and the holder losing his helmet right before halftime.

Well, sadly the JMU Convocation center has been converted to a volleyball complex - best we can do is Godwin Hall Gym.

NEW: The ACC says 12 teams will play nine ACC games next year, and 5 teams will play eight ACC games, due to contractual obligations and scheduling balance.

Going 6-0 at home next year is incredibly doable for the #Hokies. We don't yet know if the VMI or JMU game is getting pushed but sounds like JMU getting pushed is more likely. If so, VT's home games are:
VMI, ODU, GT, Pitt, Stanford, UVA

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Five years ago JMU was about to start the spring Covid season in FCS.
A little over Four years ago they announced they were moving to FBS.
This year they play in the CFP.

First time hearing Napier speak extensively today. I like him. Huge departure from Chesney (who was a huge departure from Cig, who was huge daparture from Houston, who…)
JMU seems to always hire the right guy at the right time. Time will tell if that continues, but he seems like a good guy/fit.
