ISU approached by the Sun Belt? It seemed preposterous.
But in a day and age where the tectonic plates of collegiate athletics have moved rapidly and created earthquakes that have shaken nearly every school at the Division I level, preposterous is the new norm.
And in this case, the preposterous turned out to be true.
“We were contacted by the Sun Belt. While flattering, it’s something we’re not ready for. We may be someday, but we’re not there now,” ISU Director of Athletics Ron Prettyman confirmed to the Tribune-Star.
I heard Indiana University is next. They supposedly play DI football and their RPI would help in basketball.
