With that decision looming, and set to take effect next year, the CAA has indicated it will ban JMU teams from competing for conference titles during the 2021-22 season. That decision affects women&#8217;s swimming and, unsurprisingly, was not taken well by the James Madison administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we head into a potentially monumental week for the future of James Madison University and our intercollegiate athletics program, we were extremely disappointed to be informed by the Colonial Athletic Association that, should the university accept an invitation to another conference, JMU student-athletes would not be allowed to compete for postseason conference team championships and, therefore, for the opportunity to earn NCAA automatic team qualification,\u201d the school said in a statement. \u201cIn an era when the industry of college athletics stresses student-athlete welfare, this decision is completely contrary to those ideals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the CAA includes provisions in its bylaws which allow it to block conference-championship participation by schools that are departing. In 2013, Old Dominion faced those sanctions when it announced a move to Conference USA.<\/p>\n<p>James Madison has <a
