Turns out he had finished school prior to ODU beating VPI. I had seen something indicating otherwise elsewhere, but that was wrong.
ODU is often brought up on the JMU fan boards as they are a similar size school that made the jump from FCS to FBS. They are struggling, going 1-11 overall and 0-8 in CUSA last year. There has been talk of JMU going after the AAC slot that Connecticut vacated, but the question is always do you want to be a powerhouse in the FCS or do you want to play in the FBS even if it means that you will never compete with the top schools. JMU gets a good deal of transfers and other recruits who go there simply because the school gets some notoriety for its FCS success. Last year JMU. had five players signed or drafted, which is the most they've ever had in a single year. They aren't likely to recruit as well if they move to the FBS and perform at the same level of ODU.
