I'm still kind of new at this and I hate to bring up conference realignment but how bad would a Jacksonville University add be to the conference? They were a charter member and it gives FAU a rival out of the same stat. Just post numbers stats etc. I'm just curious.

Jacksonville Dolphins?!?!?! Hahahaha

You must mean Jax St??? Tell me that was an accident

Haha I knew I would get a response like that. Nope no accident. They must have a decent market in Jacksonville. I would think so

Mexico City has a bigger market. What have you got there?

Haha just thinking of a good school to help FAU to stick in the Sun Belt and have a good rival. But I checked enrollment and stadium capacity and I see why we don't add them. My bad guys.

Jacksonville University's home field (a partial scholy program).

Have fun with that...

Jacksonville U. has an enrollment of 3,221 under graduates, so I do not see them going BCS and joining the SBC in this lifetime.

So is there another team the Sun Belt should add besides App State or Ga. Southern? That would be a good one?

None with the cash to do it. Sorry we offend you so terribly badly.

Last round I actually wrote to our System President saying that I favored App State and Georgia Southern being added. But since that time Georgia Southern fans have been a bit of an internet irritant.

Oh yea I hope the Sun Belt adds them ASAP. I was just thinking if another school would be on the radar after them or if we would just be content with them.

You know what? ...just forget it.

Have fun whipping State for the next decade and wondering what could have been: winning program, passionate fan base, and a reigniting of old rivalries with a third of the conference... or is that what you are afraid of?

You don't call the shots around here troll. Georgia Southern would be a decent add, but nothing to get excited about. I'd prefer staying at ten to adding anyone from the FCS ranks. There's just not a home run addition out there and your blind, ignorant hatred towards one of our incoming members is repetitive and obnoxious.

Do you feel that? That's your leash tightening.

Never said I did.

Again... not trolling, truthing.

Didn't say we'd blow the conference doors off.
Did say we'd beat State senseless first year in.

No there is not a home run out there. There is a best few of the next.

Not blind or ignorant... pretty darn obvious how inferior State's football program status is.

...and Panama (State fan) is a fairly decent poster, whom I've invited down to tailgate with me at Paulson. So I'm not blind hating either...

NEXT!

And TCU has 8,000 students.... look at how they're doing.
UCF, USF, and FIU have 60,000+, they aren't really setting the college football world on fire.

While I'd be against JU joning the SBC, talking about the student pop isn't a reason why or why not for a school to be added.

National Autonomous University of Mexico. At first I thought it said National "Anonymous" University of Mexico. Sounds like they might fit.

Their stadium seats 70,500 and they have played since 1927. Their enrollment is 312,413. Dont tell the Big 12
