[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you serious?  I went to JMU. I am not from Virginia and there were tons of kids from NJ and NY there. We also had numerous West Coast kids too. Of course it's primarily kids from VA but you have to be joking if you think only people from VA have heard of it. [/quote]

My son is currently a student at JMU and his housemates are from CT, MD, Ohio, and VA.  Lots of out-of-state kids there.[/quote]

I went there in the 1980s. Have to say this thread is amusing-almost like someone has an axe to grind against James Madison.

Seems odd. Never had any problem with name recognition with my alma mater in Philadelphia main line suburbs for what it's worth.  JMU is viewed as a pretty good school by most folks here....although a lot of folks mistake it as a private school.[/quote]

By the way "unknown" James Madison and "unknown" rival U of Richmond will be ESPNs Game Day this Saturday....[/quote]

Really? I thought JMU played Div 3? Not a knock; it's a great school (yes I heard of it growing up in WV) but didn't think it has much in the way of sports...[/quote]

JMU is Division I in most sports.  Some of their basketball games end up on national TV (NBCSN), if that tells you anything.  [/quote]
