As a 40 year fan of the SoCon, I would only support KSU joining the SoCon with a RIDICULOUS & perpetual buyout penalty to leave. I do think it could be a very good move for all involved, but the Owls need to PROVE they REALLY want to be in the SoCon & PROVE they REALLY want to stay in the SoCon. If they do, a RIDICULOUS buyout shouldn’t be an issue for them at all. If they won’t agree to such terms, then I don’t care if they stay in the Big South, join the SEC, go D2, or become the next NFL expansion Team.

The last thing the SoCon needs is another E*Loan or Collage of Charlatan.
Speaking of College of Charleston.....my God why havent they started football? Of all the schools who have added football the past decade and they havent, I just think CofC would become a monster program with the campus they can recruit to, the facility they could build at a Patriots Point to play in and the recruiting area. They’d be as good as Kennessaw in my opinion.
