Those other schools in the MVC that have football are not "football first" like NDSU. Basketball is still top dog for them....UNI, SIU and In St. Included.Quote:

I like this idea already. Let's trade IUPUI and IPFW for them :biggrin:Quote:

You TOO can coach a Sunbelt team during their spring game......
Not if Wichita State leaves for a better conference. Without them, that conference doesn't look anywhere near a top 15 conference.Quote:

They have six more years of reaping the benefits of Wichita state though and then the money Creighton brought in the past few years from the tourney. The Summit only has one win past the minimum amount of money conferences get. UNI needs every penny they can get. It would be a stupid move financially for any of them to leave.Quote:

MSU's president is denying the rumors now.
Might be just Liberty and JMU for that last spot in the Belt. It is JMU's if they want it, seems their president prefers the CUSA or MAC though and may hold out for them.
UMass could be in play as well, since some Sun Belt schools don't want Liberty.
This can only mean one thing: Missouri State is headed to the Sun Belt.Quote:

I think it could happen with MSU, I just don't think this is the year.
JMU is officially off the table...

It’s no secret the Sun Belt Conference is actively looking at membership expansion, but one school – James Madison University – has removed itself from contention according to the league’s commissioner.
“It appears they made a decision to stay FCS,” Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson said Tuesday during a stop in Orlando for the announcement of the creation of the Cure Bowl. “We never offered an invitation and we never extended an invitation either formal or informal.
“They were under consideration,” he added.
Simply ravishing.Quote:

Huh! I know nothing about Southeast Missouri State. Hell, I have never even been to Missouri but I have read the book, "Under the Bleachers" by Semo Butts!Quote:

Those two schools make sense for them. Expands their footprint without killing them travel-wise except for Idaho in football. I don't know much about EKU, but CC seems to have the ability to fund a move up. JMU would have been nice for them geographically, as well.Quote:

When the P5 break off and not a minute sooner. As things are we have absolutely no shot at a meaningful post season in the FBS.(I hate the bowl system) All these teams making the jump to FBS just waters down division, how many more will it take? I'd really hate to uproot everything we've built in the MVFC and Summit only to have it all fall back to the 2nd level after a few years.Quote:

That being said, I enjoy good competition
Is there an article/study etc showing travel cost comparisons between sunbelt members? I find it hard to believe traveling from Georgia Southern to Texas State or Idaho would be significantly more than Georgia Southern to NDSU. If you fly is the cost really that different? IMHO the Sunbelt teams in general would shit their britches and buckle up if NDSU joined the conference. Think about it. What bottom level FBS conference would want NDSU?
Georgia southern is probably going to dominate the Sun Belt for some time, adding ccu and or EKU does zero to lift the profile, just keeps them viable after the next round of shiftsQuote:
