Now it sounds like the Belt will give Idaho and maybe NMSU the boot. After that they could stay at 10 or go to 12....Some speculation that they have their eyes on other FCS schools on the east coast.
If I was the Sun Belt, I would target Jacksonville State, James Madison, Liberty, and Chattanooga. The first two that say yes are in. All of them would either work within or slightly expand the conference footprint without adding a ton of travel. They all draw well, the VA schools would be perfect travel partners if they came in together, they would just add to Alabama with Jacksonville State, and Chattanooga is right down the road from Georgia and 4 hours from App State.
So is Idaho out?? Mike McFeely retweeted this...
