Good little article and I do think JMU is poised to make the transition pretty easily like we did (well, besides that one year).

I mean, they did absolute dominate a terrible but still FBS East Carolina in 2017.

NDSU should join C-USA. They don’t have real geographic parameters and NDSU would come in as the best football team in the conference off the bat.

Could you imagine back to back away conference games? Could you imagine the travel expenses for the whole athletic department? Couldn't imagine many conference foes bringing many fans to North Dakota. Their fan base is already taking a nose dive though. They have little challenge left for the FCS championship. Sounds like a no win situation.

JMU has the infrastructure to be competitive in all sports. They may lag a little in football, but even there they will be competitive out of the gate.

NDSU is in a no-win situation! There isn't enough money coming out of a MAC/CUSA/MW tv contract to cover the added expense for the non-revenue sports to justify the move. But if fan attendance continues to drop the budget affects those same non-revenue sports too...hate it for their fan base.
