I suspect the P5 never thought that was the case. (but they all lump G5 together anyway)

Again, I think the Sun Belt is the best kept secret in FBS. I think they could get to the point to challenge being to be ranked with the AAC and MWC in the top 3. I think Coastal will be a good add. I still think they need 12 with JMU and another new state regional team either from FL, MO, KY or TN. If additional school from another state, Elon from NC. Jacksonvile St from AL, Kennasaw St from GA, Citadel from SC or Texas school.

The better option would being able to get ODU & Southern MS. But ESPN would need to help with better TV coverage. I did no rivalry games, SBC fans would know if those were needed but this would be a far superior conference to CUSA and MAC.

East - West
ODU v- So Ms
APP - ULL
GA So - ULM
GS St - Tx St
CC - ASU
Troy - USA

Ill thank you anyway. You got screwed all the way around in this realignment deal. I think your Pres should have went indy for at least a year or two and challenged the alumni, students and fans to step up or shut up with the finances.

As far as the conference not surprised one bit and I dont expect it to change and only get better, MW will fall to us soon. Did this with a down TXST and GS as well. GSU nothing else has a real coach now and will have them winning more soon. Overall it was addition by subtraction with the defectors from the Belt. WKU is the only one that has taken a step above where they were in the Belt.

This looks up to date. Got to get that OOC record to .500+ to make up ground on the AAC.

Any crossover rival situation that doesn't tie App and stAte is just a failure waiting to happen. Those schools need to play every season...for the sake of everyone's sanity.

let the * wars begin.

Take the 636K and do a DB Cooper . . .

I'm not sure Idaho gets a dime of that. Same with NMSU. Trying to remember the football only arrangement, but I know they reimburse the league for travel out of their league monies

Correct!
