James Madison is still weighing its options. It initially didn't want to make the leap to FBS play, but recent departures from the Colonial Athletic Conference have the Dukes reconsidering their options. And James Madison appears more willing to listen to the possibility of becoming a member of Conference USA instead of the Sun Belt Conference.
A potential move is dependent on Conference USA's willingness to eventually expand to 16 teams. Conference USA commissioner Britt Banowsky and league officials are still considering their options, but it isn't guaranteed.
Another program – preferably in the western half of the league's footprint – would have to join James Madison for Conference USA to reach 16 members. Arkansas State or Louisiana-Lafeyette could be targets according to Minium

1. They would give CUSA nothing. No added footprint, as we already have a team in Virginia
2. The amount of money dished out to each school would decrees. It would spread the same amount of money out to more teams.
While I do think that JMU's upgrades to their campus and athletics facilities warrants a move up, I think they'll be a better fit for the SBC.
