Good move for MoSt, they'll be with a bunch of other "also ran" athletic programs: MTSU, NMSU, KSU, FIU, SHSU...
Gotta feel bad for UTEP that they're stuck with this group of Motley Poos.

Gotta feel bad for UTEP that they're stuck with this group of Motley Poos.
It seems that the eastern division of the Sun Belt is about as compact and like-minded as you'll find in the G5. All old FCS teams from either the CAA, SoCon, and Big South. Just about a bus...
Not ever stadium is a ghost town on the week nights. I've seen some solid 22k-25k+ games on weeknights. MTSU is a ghost town on Saturdays too. When they hosted the CUSA championship a few years...
JSU is making a solid transition into CUSA as well and womped their MAC OOC opponent.
Everyone in the SoCon just got a lot more relevant. ASUN, CAA, and WAC just took a hit that could expand to be almost fatal. Especially for the ASUN.
It'd mean a great deal to every other JMU athlete.
Liberty's power to sue scared the NCAA, quite a bit. NDSU could theoretically say they're hampered by no regional FBS conference so...
They might be able to out-rulebook the NCAA but the WAC does not have a contract with the CFP, which is what distributes football money payout and the access to the NY6 G5 Access bowl. An FBS WAC...
If I were a UNCG fan I'd be rather upset wit a move that takes away the second best mid-major conference basketball tourney. SoCon Tourney has posted sell outs several seasons in a row before the...
Which is more likely? UNCG moving to the northeastern focused CAA or UNCW moving to the southeastern SoCon? SoCon seems to have an opening for member that doesn't sponsor football. Would...
Doesn't Furman get most of their students from the South East? Quite a bit different than Elon and CoC. Wofford and Furman are made for each other and would be silly to be in separate...
That's about half of what the MAC, Sun Belt and Conference USA gets but they're all on Friday and Saturdays. Big win.

Appalachian State University's stadium history:

That's one of the perks of the ESPN Bowl Pool. The conferences signed up for Bowl Pool slots. That way ESPN can make a better match-up rather than force schools to go to certain bowls. Now it...
With the MWC moving all content to CBSSN/FS1 it leaves a lot of holes to fill. Add the fact that ACCN took away a chunk of ACC's tier 2 games too. ESPN has a lot more inventory to fill and the...
The real boon for the Sun Belt media contract is not the money, it's the total backing of ESPN. MWC moved to Fox and ESPN has been pushing the Sun Belt games this year since they've had openings. ...
App State had 20 varsity teams. More than most of the G5. Now App has 17 sports. Still higher than the required number. App's Athletic Department doesn't run in the red so this cut is quite...
That's good to hear!
Putting it the way you did was throwing water on a grease fire. But to the actual bill itself... It's like throwing a cup of dirt on a seed and wondering if it'll grow into a sequoias.

I'm sure Central and A&T will keep a game every year
Montana was was just an example of a school to be paired with NDSU in that scenario. A pair of FB only members would have to add to the SBC's OOC win record otherwise there's not point in...
The Sun Belt is familiar with FB only members (Idaho and NMSU). Since NDSU would not benefit from MACtion on Tuesdays and Wednesdays they should try and find a tag team partner and go Sun Belt way. ...
If somehow the Sun Belt still had Idaho and NMSU as FB only then NDSU FB only would have an instant chance for a rivalry with App State and Georgia Southern, which played NDSU tight in the early...
The MWC champion played a P5 school in the Las Vegas Bowl and had less ratings than the FCS Championship game.
Why would they? They just sold out a stadium half a country away. Won another Natty. Drew in 2.6 million viewers and a rating of 1.7 on broadcast ABC on a Saturday.
