James Madison Drops Legal Battle Against NCAA

Decision Comes After Consultation with Virginia Attorney General and First Season Loss

James Madison University has decided not to pursue legal action against the NCAA for denying the school's football team a waiver for full bowl eligibility.
The decision was made after the school's first loss of the season to Appalachian State and consultation with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares.
Despite being in the second year of its transition from the FCS to FBS, James Madison is not eligible for postseason play due to NCAA rules.
James Madison could still be invited to a bowl game if there are not enough FBS programs with six wins to fill all 82 spots.
The school's focus is now on getting the football team into a bowl game, and it may still file an action against the NCAA later if needed to receive a bowl invitation.
