If State governments want to reign in the the NCAA and college athletics it should be over realignment, NIL and specific and actual cases of discrimination. Not this that every new FBS team has agreed to and complied with.
The threat of a lawsuit worked for UNC in getting eligibility for Tez Walker and for Tennessee for avoiding a postseason ban. Why not? The NCAA is a decaying organization. Honestly, the rule is dated could stand to change. The Transfer Portal makes it possible to compete quickly at the G5 level, especially for schools who are at the top of FCS.
I'm torn. I certainly would hate to see JMU get rewarded for the amount of whining they've done throughout their entire transition (including while they were still in the CAA and protesting the postseason ban they helped create years prior), but would also love to see Liberty get a shot at them in a bowl game. It's a good in-state rivalry and I'd like to see them play more often now that JMU has moved up.
I've always been a proponent of the Liberty-JMU rivalry. Heck, it's a shame that we're not in the same conference with JMU and ODU, where the rivalries would be more fruitful. That said JMU and most folk that I've ever known from JMU have always been arrogant cusses. So I'm definitely rooting for them to sit Bowl season out like the rest of us did.
Especially, since they and the rest of FBS had the opportunity to try and change the rule over the last year's Constitutional changes and as far as we know, they did nothing.
But I'm a proponent for changing the transition rules, especially for D2 to D1. But do it the right way and don't play the vicitm when you agreed to everything.
