Exactly, that’s my point. Our neithbor’s brother is the athletic director. I sat in his seats for the West Georgia game Saturday. They studied it internally not too long ago and it’s not happening.

The issue with any D2 schools saying that they do not have any money is nothing but a lie. Look at Northern Kentucky as an example. They were D2 and said the exact same thing. ASun is based in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. It would still be the same travels for the schools. Valdosta State, West Georgia, West Florida and Columbus State would fit nicely. 5 Florida, 4 Georgia, 1 Tennessee, 1 Alabama and 1 New Jersey (who is looking for a better home.) UNF, FGCU, Columbus State and Lipscomb all thinking about adding football. You would be getting 4 top teams from Gulf South Conference and Kennesaw State. ASun could try and bring back Jacksonville State and Florida Tech and boom, they could be as strong as the MVFC.

FGCU did a study about adding football. Because of the upfront costs of facilities and the additional costs that would be involved due to Title IX, they have no interest in doing so for at least the next 10 years. The only way I see it happening is if the lack of football becomes a significant barrier to being able to move up to a better conference.
