FCS teams mentioned in Sunbelt expansion article

Post by slycat »

Just speculation but still an interesting read. Georgia Southern, Jax St, Texas St, and UTSA are mentioned.

And yes we've all heard the same old smack at the Sunbelt.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/3151 ... conference
The Sun Belt Conference has 13 members currently, but is riding a bullet train to 11 members. Could that be the best thing that ever happened to the conference?

The Sun Belt Conference adopted rules in 2007 that seem likely to force Denver and New Orleans out by the 2012-2013 school year.

Denver, which already has the largest athletic budget in the conference and the highest academic standards would have to add five sports to stay in beyond 2013. It seems abundantly clear they have no intention of adding sports to remain an outlier in a weak conference.
