Wichita State going to the AAC is looking pretty serious. If the MVC loses them then that league is definitely lower RPI than the SBC. The SBC has been itching to add MoSt for a bit. This would be incentive for them to leave. But that wouldn't happen in a vacuum. Liberty is moving up. That breaks the normal order of things. The order JMU was perfectly happy to abide by. Now they're surrounded by FBS teams in an area they were comfortable recruiting in for football while Olympicaly the SBC and CAA are equals.


Could this be the SBC's path to 12/14?

Whats the big attraction about Missouri State? They're not all that great in basketball, and they've had some awful seasons in football.

James Madison, budget and facilty-wise, has been FBS ready for most of the decade. That one I understand.

Frankly, I would be fine with zero expansion or a geographical reshuffling with CUSA schools, but that's a separate topic.

Bears are a great travel fit for the west, historically good in baseball, basketball and women's hoops. Now currently hoops are on a skid and didn't do themselves any favors retaining their coach.
