JMU Lawsuit

[cajun4life]

JMU 2023 sked:
3 opponents already bowl eligibility.
3 within 1 game
1 within 2 games
2 future opponents already elig.
So 5 to 9.

They schedule better. Plus the East is a tougher division to play in. Not sure it’s actually tougher on field opponents, but game day atmospheres blow the west away.

My biggest concern is JMU could very well be urinating on a forest fire backlash.

I understand their point. But they signed up and agreed.

Yes sir. This is a private university that gets 63% of its athletic budget from student fees. they are having no problem transitioning to the FBS because money is not a concern. Now I get it, they are undefeated and ranked so they want to be in a bowl and a possible playoff spot. But if they were losing this wouldn't even be discussed.

They are public, we all know private schools were "not a good fit" to join sunbelt

Last year's tulane team had 8 bowl eligible opponents
And those opponents went 4-4 in bowls
This year's tulane team may only have 3
Cajuns 13 win team had 3

I’m backing JMU

Dude, they agreed to the terms when they signed the contract.

O'Bannon was the coveted recruit, from Artesia High outside Long Beach, Calif., who was going to extend the dynasty. But UNLV's iconoclastic coach, Jerry Tarkanian, had been in a long feud with the NCAA, and days before O'Bannon was to begin his freshman year, the Rebels were hit with a host of sanctions, including a ban on postseason play. "I cried like a baby," O'Bannon says. "It broke my heart." He was particularly galled by the NCAA's seeming lack of accountability. "They could do whatever they wanted because they were above the law," he says.

On Tarkanian's advice, O'Bannon had never signed a letter of intent—"a first-class move by Coach Tark"—so he was free to matriculate at UCLA

[R1Letterman]

With signing days moving earlier and earlier how many HS seniors are signing the scholarship letter of intent before they turn 18 and thus is not a valid contract
