If CAA Follows Through on JMU ban, it must Never Again Preach on Athlete Interest

It’s been no secret that the James Madison Dukes are expecting to move ranks from their current position in the Colonial Athletic Association to the Sun Belt in the near future. For football, that would mean a jump from the FCS to the FBS, which would be significant for the already-successful program. In fact it’s been rumored that an official announcement from the school could come as early as Friday, however, thanks to a CAA bylaw, that announcement will come with some hefty ramifications.

On Wednesday night it was reported that the conference informed JMU that all of it’s student athletes would be ineligible to compete for league championships if and when the school made the move official.
