Forgive my ignorance, but is JMU a public or private school. Find it hard to believe they could get away with that as a public institution. Believe it or not, Public

They're similar in profile to the large, directional state schools in other locales. Think Sam Houston, Southern Illinois, and UNCG.

Believe it or not, Public JMU's Athletics is a stand alone Athletic Department they receive only a little funding from the University/state if any so they do not have to worry about complying with any state requirements .

Not really. JMU is not just "another FCS program". They have arguably been a top 3 FCS program for the last decade. We've lost at least two players to them this recruiting cycle but a big part of that is that we are offering players now that we would have not even offered in the past, backyard or not. High school players also have their coaches in their ear, even with family connections to A&T, so we have to continue to strengthen relationships with local high school staffs. Quiet as it's kept, there are still two Greensboros and Grimsley is located in the other one. Lots of work to do in that regard. Oh and there's also that "I want to get away from home" factor. All of those factors are correct but there are 2 other Greensboros that you failed to mention who's relationship with A&T has been Lukewarm at best PAGE and SMITH. Page , Smith and Grimsley as dose the city of Greensboro knows that Dudley has always been to feeder to A&T and nothing much has changed by A&T to change that narrative . Continuing to leave those doors open is inexcusable and may come back to haunt us one day . I will have to disagree. A&T touches base with kids all over the city. My kid is in HS and plays FB in Greensboro. We have had kids from all the high schools in the last 10 years. One main thing is Dudley has been the only consistent team for last few years. And alot of our kids are going out of town

I can't believe that the university can charge students an additional athletic fee without approval from a body outside the campus . Did taxpayer money build the stadium ? Provide support services determine academic standards and the NAME

The kid wanted to get out of town and maybe saw A&T depth chart and didn’t want to sit the bench for 2-4 years. 🤷🏾♂️

No surprise here. It had been hinted since early June that was where he was most likely headed.

Me, too. It also sets us up for when/if there is a future transfer opportunity for guys that want to come back home.

We need to offer that kid that twice pushed him into the backfield, both kids are awesome.
