What current I-AAs are seriously considering I-A moves

[Thumper250]

Appalachian State and Georgia Southern? I'm curious. I honestly think Liberty's boss man (Jerry) has that in his visions as well.

But in all seriousness, are GSU and ASU really candidates to jump soon?

With WKU, this could strengthen the Sun Belt to 11 teams quickly. Add another for a 12th and you have divisions.

Eastern Division
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Appalachian State
Georgia Southern
Troy

Western Division
Arkansas State
LA-Monroe
LA-Lafayette
Middle Tennessee
North Texas
Western Kentucky

If WKU makes the jump, as I expect them to, they will quickly move to the Mid-American Conference.

Unfortunatly, GSU will probably not make a jump for a while. Not unless some "changes" happen soon (changes in attitude, not necessarily staff).

The folks in San Marcos bring it up all the time. It was even in their 2000 media guide about the move to I-A...

Yeah but they will expect to go straight to the Big 12

All the chatter in Normal says Illinois State is getting the money and fundraising ready to update facilities and think about going I-A

Nothing against you but man your attendance needs to get way up for that to occur.

BTW. Back in the late 1990s the MAC Voted in Buffalo over YSU into the League. Buffalo was a joke and YSU was in its prime but two schools; within an hours drive; told others to VOTE NO for YSU.

Akron and Kent were getting embarrassed Year in and Year out by YSU and they did not want YSU taking anymore recruits that would go to their schools.

Look at the decision now.. SAD... YSU Has the stadium and expansion room if need be for I-A. That is why the new side was added in 1997. But plans went SOUTH.

That is all True.. I am best friends with someone who worked on it..

ASu has been saying for a while that they have interest in jumping, but I don't think it will happen for atleast 5 years or so, eventually yes, but not soon
