JMU Official News Release
A recommendation released Thursday (Feb. 22) by the James Madison University administration would enable the university to continue offering all 28 intercollegiate sports that are now available at JMU.

In its recommendation that will go to the Athletics Committee of the JMU Board of Visitors, the university administration also proposed a reallocation of resources among the sports programs.

This reallocation would result in bringing JMU closer to Title IX guidelines and would also provide needed funding to upgrade the athletics department's academic support and sports medicine programs.

The recommendation calls for JMU teams to be divided into two categories: one which would receive the maximum scholarship aid allowed by the NCAA and one which would receive no scholarship aid from the university, but the programs could raise private funds for scholarships.
