It is all about ceiling now. How high can Liberty go?
Also, a game with JMU right now would probably be a bad thing for Liberty - IMHO. I was reading on the JMU board that they owe us a game at Liberty in 2019, not sure if that reigns true or not. That would be the earliest I would want to play them right now - barring an FBS move up by JMU. In which case, I would want them every year.

JMU is still more prestigious as an accomplished football team, there is no doubt about that. JMU is more prestigious than a lot of Sun Belt/Mac schools. Therefore, I would say JMU is still more prestigious in accomplishment, but now has a drastically lower ceiling than Liberty.
Are we now a more prestigious program than JMU?
Not that they would, but if JMU called IM and asked for a game, would we oblige? Or are we to the point now where that game would do more harm than good? Seems like the tables have turned from 5 years ago.
