Do they give us a Sun Belt helmet for an App State helmet?

Yep. There will be two helmets on the table, your actual App State football helmet, and a Sun Belt football helmet that is in need of a major redesign. At the appointed time, Benson and your President or AD will hand the helmets to each other, and of course pose for pictures.

Every conference does it, but it just looks strange. Its sort of like "Hey welcome to the league! Have a football helmet!"

Weird. Guess non-football conferences have a problem with what to trade.

North Texas tried to give CUSA an autographed picture of Tony Mitchell, but the league wouldnt accept it.

NMSU press conference is scheduled for tomorrow at 5:30pm.

So how is Benson going to get from his 4PM announcement tomorrow at App State to a 5PM NMSU announcement?

He's not, its made up, thats why theres no link.

Maybe NMSU's is Thursday. :But what will Benson do, fax a helmet to them?

They can probably dust off the one from their first trip to the SBC.

Benson could just wait to present it after their first football win.
Might never have to trade again.

Benson announces from where ever he is - Boone or Statesboro, but its videocasted to audience in Las Cruces (and presumably elsewhere).

NMSU then follows with our own "we accept" presser.

Not sure why they couldn't have waited until at least Thursday and given App and Ga So at least one day without distraction.

We know, we are kidding.
But probably good to have them all the same day.
Wonder if Idaho is?

Nice to see you guys in the SBC again, and hopefully it will all sports in the near future.

I also look forward to Idaho in football.

Much stronger league in football than when you left, and App State and Ga Southern traditional field FBS quality football teams.

5pm New Mexico Time is 7pm App time.

However, he will not be in Las Cruces, the press conference will take place out of state...

I do hope everyone remembers that App and Ga Southern's presser's tomorrow are set for Eastern TIme. Those of us in Central Time Zone would be best served listening in an hour earlier.

Crazy day for PC in the SBC.

Benson mentions Sunbelt is re-branding.

New Logo, new message.

Benson alludes to trip to app later today
