In stark contrast to its methodical rise to the FBS and Sun Belt, JMU's move to the American was accelerated by several factors, chief among them College Football Playoff access. "Time was not our friend." pilotonline.com/2026/10/16/d…

The Dukes accelerated move from the Sun Belt to the American was the antithesis of their methodical 2022 elevation from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision.

New ODU athletic director Tim House built work ethic in family’s Italian restaurant

House was a just a kid when he noticed that his father, Michael, would greet customers at the front of Casa Carbone Ristorante and insert himself into the weeds when they began to grow deep.

Reflections on 9/11 a quarter-century later from ODU's Ricky Rahne and VT's James Franklin, plus poignant memories of #Hokies' game less than two weeks later not far from Ground Zero. pilotonline.com/2026/09/10/d…

David Teel: In 9/11, ODU’s Ricky Rahne, Hokies’ James Franklin see now a duty to teach

Franklin’s new program, Virginia Tech, has a powerful connection to 9/11 that merits retelling.
