@dkurtenbach Our source is telling us FAU President MJ Saunders got a phone call this morning.

Sounds like the negotiations may be done. Now we just need to find out how much the divorce actually cost.

Lol we really need an updated photo of the"Riot in the Breezeway." Maybe get a picture from the Rat's Mouth or BTBIR and put the students under the Breezeway. I think that'd look a lot better than this photo of a bunch of ugly Brits from the 90's.

Yep, saw a couple tweets around that range a few days ago, and some more just in the past 30 mins.

I'm really going to miss the Sun Belt, A LOT. I really wish that we couldn't strengthen the Belt to become the best of "lesser 5" conferences, though it's great to stay with FIU. God I love hating them.

Farewell. Like with UNT no hard feelings for FAU from me.

I'm not trying to start anything over here but I find it somewhat comical that FAU's own beat writer and so many FAU fans were mocking FIU for over reacting to our CUSA invite. FAU's beat writer said that FIU was acting as if we just joined the SEC lol now look at you guys. Don't get me wrong-I am happy FAU is on board. I think it's great for both Universities but I couldn't help remembering (looking at this picture) how much we were mocked for showing a little excitement. Now look at you guys

It is interesting how reactions change as each individual schools make...or don't make...a move as the situation changes for each of them (and I'm not singling out FAU, it's just a general thing). Consistency is not necessarily the best attribute of fans...

Seriously, I just wish the best for each school associated with the Sun Belt. We've been fortunate to be a part of this conference for 13 years and overwhelmingly (with its exceptions from some fans, of course) the experience has been of great camaraderie and growth in sports.

Good luck to all!

Are the FIU guys really dumb enough to think that picture is from the CUSA announcement?

I hope not, but don't you think the picture is a wee bit out of context?

Looks more like a soccer crowd in Britain several years ago. FAU would have to show larger crowd that FIU no matter what, or how.

Guys,

It is OBVIOUSLY photoshopped. It was done several years ago by a poster on the Owls Nest and it gets broken out whenever FAU has somethign big to celebrate.

Thats all, NCOwl was just using it to show were happy that we are moving this year.
