If the Sun Belt were dying to have more than 10 teams right now, it should extend its FB-only agreement with the school that just went 9-4 and earned the conference an extra 7-figure check for CFP performance revenue PLUS extra money for the bowl pool by playing in (and winning) a non-Sun Belt bowl that the conference never would have otherwise accessed, PLUS gives up its share of CFP money to pay Sun Belt schools for travel expenses to its home games.

But the conference doesn't seem inclined to do that, so why would it want to nurture a bunch more not-ready-for-primetime schools instead?
