I keep hearing the OVC is pursuing Belmont and Lipscomb to join. There was a time the two former NAIA schools preferred the OVC but were not welcomed because they don't play football.

While joining the OVC would cut down travel costs, Atlantic Sun teams get media exposure in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.
Wasn't there some rumblings about football at Belmont and Lipscomb of the non-scholarship FCS variety? If so, if they join the OVC they seem like a shoo-in to start football in the Pioneer if they want to go non-scholarship - or possibly the OVC otherwise. Thoughts?
