This might have been posted elsewhere but, which of our players are not playing in Saturday's game due to entering the portal?

So, so it makes sense he's headed to The Green Wave...because he is the Hulk.

Not too shabby... Ranking every college football bowl game from worst to best 16. Cure Bowl (Dec. 16, 3:30 p.m., ABC) Appalachian State (8-5) vs. Miami (Ohio) (11-2) The Miami defense is one of the most underrated units in the country. The RedHawks haven’t allowed more than 21 points in a game since...

NCAA leaders warn college sports at risk of ‘permanent damage’ without action from Congress The NCAA’s most powerful conferences delivered an urgent plea to congressional leaders last week: We need your help to save college sports – and need it now. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ncaa-lead...

I have 2, maybe 3, tickets avail to today's game. Asking $50 each. Section L11, Row K. Pretty good seats.

Not that I really care but is JMU absolutely getting a Bowl game?

Yes, so is Jacksonville State due to not enough 6-win teams.

With all due respect, the discussion of taxes, employees etc is nice but pointless. We need to find a NILCollective to donate to.

Most everything said on this board is pointless...

If they are truly the capitalist labor force then do they need to pay taxes on scholorship and benifits? As much as any other scholarship does. So is that a yes? Generally speaking scholarships are not taxable (there are situations where they can be though). NIL money would be taxable. That is true...

1. They are not kids. 2. They are adults. 3. They arr making adult decisions as adults. 4. This is how capitalism works all around you, every day. A manager gets fired, some employees leave and some lose their jobs with them. A ceo moves companies, some employees follow them. They dont sit out a ye...

According to FootballScoop, Indiana sees Cignetti as a "top target" for its next head coach. "With Cignetti having such a great season with the Dukes, it's likely that Indiana won't be the only team interested in him." https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/report-james-madison-coach-curt-cignetti-e...

Is Troy's field natural grass or artificial turf? Just thinking about the amount of rain forecasted.

We will have a great shot at it assuming we don't lose our top players to the portal chasing NIL money. The Sun Belt teams need to perform well this bowl season to continue to raise the conference's national profile. The AAC is a mere shadow of its former self. It's ours for the taking.

We may have lost some battles but winning the war is what's most important...I really like our chances Saturday.

Gonna be a blowout:

Mountain Men 48
Backwoods Boys 17

James Madison won't sue NCAA to receive bowl eligibility Looks like our victory put a damper on their legal appeal: James Madison lost to Appalachian State 26-23 on Saturday, ending its perfect season. In its statement Tuesday, the school said that loss "changed the landscape in terms of the nature...

We might hate purple. We might hate JMU..... But I feel they are in a better position to move forward than we are. Yes I'm going to get some hate for this. I don't know what it is about them but outside of some internal debacle or violations of some sorts.... I don't see them falling off. They have...
