I am fairly certain JMU has had talks with people from the American & other conferences. That's pretty much a constant for a lot of schools in order to build relationships amid uncertain times. "Trying to join" might be overstating it at this point.
Miami (Ohio), James Madison & UConn trying to join American Conference, sources told @On3’s @Brett_McMurphy & @PeteNakos. Despite overtures from those schools – including $30-$40 million offer from Miami – sources said league not expanding at this time

Nailed it again. Well said on all accounts @chaseakiddy
JMU has talked to the American. Yes. Sure.
I can also tell you with a high degree of confidence they have talked to other leagues, too, including probably some ones that would shock you. The job of ADs and executives is to talk to people and feel stuff out.
Maybe something will come of it. Maybe not. But if you're pro-actively doing your job, you're talking to people. And if we know one thing about JMU these days, it's that the current administration is pretty aggressive about growing, expanding, upgrading, moving up -- in Athletics and beyond.
So this really not a terribly interesting scoop, on its own, if you think about it.
