JMU and CUSA

Seems the faithful in Harrisonburg are coming to the realization that CUSA may not be opening their doors for the Dukes. Seems the fans on their board now believe the MAC is the likely destination.

It's painful to watch someone make the same mistakes you did. No media market, no CUSA bid.

Silver lining: your "fallback" conference options (MAC or Sun Belt) have better football teams.

they might be waiting a long time for the MAC. They move really slow, and they seem to be satisfied with the current membership. I think they have missed their opportunity and it might be many years, if ever, they get a chance to move up.

There is one open spot at the table in a conference with no exit fee.

Apples and oranges - those were already established FBS programs. JMU would be the only FCS transition invited to C-USA without bringing a large media market if they were invited. Not impossible but I'd be surprised.
