Will ban JMU from conference tournaments if it decides to leave for the Sun Belt.

I'm sure that'll really make the conference more attractive to future prospective members.

It would be one thing if they were leaving for another FCS football conference, but for them, this is a step up on the football side. Incredibly petty.

My understanding is that JMU was in favor of applying this same policy to Old Dominion, VCU, Georgia State, and George Mason. They should not be surprised.

100% Fact. ODU definitely had this happen, but I think VCU left without notice and cut ties immediately so as to avoid this problem. The jealous ex is never a good look for anyone.

Be interesting to see what the courts would do with this.
