Congrats to JMU softball for advancing to the WCWS. It is always good to see a mid major team eliminate an Sec team. Hopefully we gets these guys on the schedule soon.

It's not a matter of being scared to play someone. The James Madison team you are seeing in the World Series this season is a team recruited almost entirely by Mickey Dean. This is their fourth season without him so next year's team will be Loren Laporte recruits. If they continue to schedule ACC, SEC and Big 10 teams, like they normally do, and have success against them, then they will stay relevant in the national scene. If they have little to no success against them, I have no desire to play someone 1,000 miles away that will have 30-35 wins against teams with .500 or losing records.
As far as Dean at Auburn is concerned, yeah, he may be on the hot seat soon if he isn't already. He was going to be given time to change the Myers culture there and Covid will likely give him another pass, but they are not going to be patient with him too much longer.
They do lose Alexander for next year who I don't imagine would be easily replaceable.
