Wow, WTF is going on at James Madison?

I'm just casually aware of the school by name; I know they just moved up to D1 (FBS) level, going to the Sun Belt.
I noticed them in football, where they went 11-1.
Now they go 31-3 in basketball, winning the tourney and auto bid...
That's impressive, no matter the conference.

They've usually over-achieved I've felt. And in addition to sports, it's a solid university.
In football, lost to the best teams on their schedule Air Force and App State.
In basketball, even more impressive but lost twice to App State and once to So. Miss.
Still 31-3 is very impressive in basketball.
Maybe their turn to win in the Sun Belt?

My good friend Eric Sollenberger always prayed for times like this before he passed away.

They have a HUGE arse athletic budget compared to their Sunbelt peers, as their student fee for athletics is something like $2,400 a year.
Compare that with G5 programs like UTSA that are about $500/year, and UL, ULM and LA Tech that have $0/year.

They have a gorgeous campus. Stayed there a few times. Nice size undergrad enrollment too. Their location is interesting geographically because Virginia always produces decent talent but they aren’t far from the DC metro, and close to parts of Ohio.

James Madison is one of those programs that probably could have moved to FBS far earlier than they did and would have been fine.

JMU is a huge public school in a state with an exploding population.

Their baseball team beat Arkansas one game earlier in the year. That club can hit.

The annual "predict a higher seed Wisconsin to lose in the first round" calls have begun. Despite the fact that the badgers are 17-4 in first round games since 2000.

Virginia and Virginia Tech have absolutely shite the recruiting bed.

Crazy how teams like coastal Carolina, app state and James Madison were fcs 15 years ago and now some of the top teams in the lower level of fbs football. Day 1 better than teams that have been there for years like ULM, Arkansas state, UAB, etc. just goes to show how much the culture of programs matters.

Bumping because they’re going to be the new premier sports program in Virginia. There is a ton of money pumping through that athletic program right now.
Up 7-5 on USC in the Raleigh regional
Had a great two semesters in Hburg back in the day. Great to see what’s happening there. Still think their old football coach is an idiot for leaving them for Indiana.
