@Shane_DNRSports Maybe if we were in the A10 you could make that argument. Sunbelt is a bad MBB conference and the highest team NET is 147. 18 wins is actually pretty bad when you take it all in. I wonder how we rank in NIL and facilities vs the rest of the conference though.
English
People who want better than this year aren't wrong. JMU is well positioned. But it's still important to remember that if 18 wins and above .500 is your down year then this is a golden era. And there aren't going to be many mid-majors going forward that don't have down years.

@Shane_DNRSports It’s crazy to think how much Mark Byington changed the expectations of MBB. It’s almost as if we’ve forgotten what this program did (or didn’t do) for at least the last 25 other seasons.
English
@Shane_DNRSports Given his contract, no way he's on the hotseat. At the same time, given the trend of our program under him, no way he'd be a realistic candidate for those places either. 20 wins in a terrible conference isn't perceived well. Heck, Miami is actually great and look at their critics
English
The hot seat stuff is crazy. If JMU won two of the OT or buzzer beater games it lost this year the talk would be whether Dayton or Cincinnati might come after Spradlin.
JMU Gameday@JMUGameday
Next year is SBC champ or bust Coach will be on the hot seat. Can’t accept mediocre JMU basketball for years like we have in the past
English
@JMUSportsNews Problem is, outside those 4, we really don't have much else.
In the end, PS has to do a better job in the portal, and that's really all that matters unfortunately.
English
Retention will be the offseason key for JMU men's basketball.
Can the Dukes keep at least 2 of these 4 to build around in 2026-27?
- Justin McBride
- Preston Fowler
- Eddie Ricks
- Christian Brown

@itspeachipi Just make sure your fans and pumps are working, the temps can be deceptive if throttling is happening

Can anyone with good pc knowledge help me put with an issue? Ive tried what I can but im still getting lots of frame issues when streaming certain games, specifically WOW, OW. Massively limiting me on stream with content creativity :( im putting it down to needing a new gpu atp
English
@Shane_DNRSports @JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday Perhaps, didn't do much for us this past off season 🤷♂️
English
@JDTheThree @JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday It's been over 30 years for that too. I will agree 20 is fairly arbitrary, but it rings with potential recruits, staffers and donors more than 18 or 19.
English
Sad JMU basketball has fallen to 2015-2017 levels of student support (I remember going to games in the old convo that were better than this while we were horrible)
President Jim@JMUPresidentJim
Dukes WIN! 81-79 over @GeorgiaStateU @JMUMBasketball @JMU
English
@Shane_DNRSports @JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday Have we ever had four 19-win seasons? because the extra one doesn't mean anything. It's an arbitrary bar, that means nothing. Regular season championship is cool, another banner? Doesn't seem to affect program/recruiting/most fans. Dwarfed by tourny championship completely now
English
@JDTheThree @JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday JMU has never had four straight 20-win seasons and hasn't won consecutive regular season championships in more than 30 years. So I do think those things are still pretty significant.
English
@Shane_DNRSports @JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday Also, the idea that 20 wins means anything is just silly. This isn't the lefty era. 20 wins should be a given in the Sunbelt.
English
@Shane_DNRSports @JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday It's fair to think that way, but a team being 3-10 away is still pretty awful. Most people already forgot we did well during the regular season last year. It means nothing today. 20 wins just looks like a Brady team that can't win in the tournament, but does the minimum to be ok
English
@JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday I never disagreed with your first point. The facts are, 3 wins don't change the season. Attendance is disappointing regardless.
English
@JackKutz155722 @JMU_GoDukes @JMUGameday They are 10-3 at home. Getting 3 more wins would be great and all, but it doesn't change the story of the season.
English
@JMUGameday the lazy excuse this season has been “the team sucks, therefore it’s okay for our student section to suck”. but i couldn’t disagree with that more. if the team isn’t performing well, an electric aubc is what could change the story of the season. it makes me upset when i hear that
English
@JMUSportsNews Aren't they all in the American conference for this?
English
@Shane_DNRSports Makes you wonder if NDSU will have more leverage for immediate eligibility if that is the case
English
This thread is a must read for anyone interested in the NCAA eligibility cases. Chambliss' win today means the NCAA has more than antitrust cases to worry about now. NCAA may be violating its contract with members any time a ruling isn't in best interest of an individual athlete.
Eric Blevins@EricJBlevins
A judge is currently reading aloud his ruling in Trinidad Chambliss case. It sounds likely he's going to get another season. This is a big deal, because it could open a new- and easier- legal route for athletes to gain additional seasons. Expect more lawsuits. Quick breakdown: 🧵
English
@KimreyThinks @murphsturph @StudentYosef Yes, a good example where things aren't the same across states. JMU places any athletic debt service in the athletic fee, I can't speak for North Carolina, but not every state does the same and just places those in general debt service, so the athletic fee is misleading.
English
@JDTheThree @murphsturph People forget that students pay for capital projects - often athletic facilities - through debt service fees. So when donors get trotted out on the field & thanked for their gift - students are often paying the full debt service on the project & never mentioned. @StudentYosef

FY 2025: App State
Total revenue: $57.2M
Total expenses: $57.2M
Football revenue: $9.9M
Football expenses: $15.6M
Men's basketball revenue: $637K
Men's basketball expenses: $2.7M
Student fees: $16M
English
@KimreyThinks @murphsturph And JMU student fees pay for more than what other universities consider athletics. Spirit groups, bands, facility maintenance, lighting, etc. can all be put as general expenses for universities. JMU just doesn't lie about it.
English
@KimreyThinks @murphsturph JMU's student fees aren't apples to apples with App State's, just like the Knight report isn't. For instance, our institutional support is under 2%, App State's in 2022, was 16%. That institutional support is just tuition being rerouted, just not reported as student fees.
English
@Shane_DNRSports @ISmokeEmWet @SteveRodeffer @clNogz At this point, I just think it's engagement baiting
English
@ISmokeEmWet @SteveRodeffer @clNogz It's a relevant time to talk about it because the law might change, but citing Newhouse numbers to say JMU is over 70 percent is inaccurate because of what the Cox Bill does and doesn't consider athletic spending.
English
Per JMU spokesperson, the Dukes are already compliant with the Cox Bill (54.2% reliance FY25) ahead of the schedule projected to the legislature in 2021. Expenses applicable to state law are different than what is submitted to the NCAA and used in the Knight-Newhouse report.
Cardinal News@CardinalNewsVA
Deeds proposal would allow Virginia Tech and UVa to raise more athletics money from student fees cardinalnews.org/2026/02/10/dee…

@ryanghensley Because all of you idiots pressured them into it. Does no one remember the blowback they were getting for trading up to get Jones?
English
So Kyle wanted Mac Jones and not Trey Lance is confirmed by Mac Jones? So why would the 49ers spend all that draft capital on a QB the HC didn't want, and why is that person still in the building?
