33 Team Sun Belt Super Conference


Quote:One slide listed 21 schools to be considered as "possible additions/replacements" – including Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Texas State, Utah State, UT-San Antonio, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Jacksonville State, James Madison, Liberty, Charlotte, Old Dominion, Belmont, College of Charleston, Florida Gulf Coast, North Florida, St. Louis and Texas-Arlington.

Also Chattanooga and Missouri State also on other lists.

Quote:The same presentation included several maps of potential conference mergers – one of which was titled “Makes Too Much Sense” and proposed a 33-school superconference combining the Sun Belt, C-USA, WAC and Mountain West Conference.

Quote:Benson then reached out to UAB, Southern Miss, East Carolina and Marshall in hopes of pulling them away from Conference USA. He then put an aggressive 48-hour deadline on Louisiana Tech and UTSA to decide between the Sun Belt and Conference USA. Both efforts were unsuccessful.

So, it is true that Benson had both ASUN's Florida schools that we mentioned in this thread. Adding both UNF and FGCU would offset UTA and Little Rock for a 10/14 SBC. Both UNF and FGCU both recently made the men's basketball 68 teams field. It would boast the conference's RPI. If the SBC wants James Madison? They should look at grabbing a fellow CAA member to join them. Invite Delaware with James Madison U. I would think James Madison U. would say yes.
