Highlights:
-For Missouri State athletics, it's starting to look more like a "when" and not an "if" the school will move up a subdivision in Division I football, based on recent comments by the university's president.
-Reports have connected MSU to the likes of the Sun Belt and Conference USA for several years.
-Based on current expenses, which would increase with a move to a new conference because of additional scholarships being handed out and travel among other reasons, Missouri State would be on par with some of the top spenders in the next iteration of Conference USA and nearly $8 million below the Sun Belt median.
That last statement needs to be read several times by some posters on here.

On par spending in CUSA = $8 million below Sun Belt median.
