Multiple rumors that the ASUN may add Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State from the OVC and Central Arkansas from the Southland. The ASUN does not sponsor Football, but has an agreement with the Big South that all ASUN schools can play Big South Football.

Alternatively, any of these 3 schools could try to follow Liberty's path and join the ASUN as an FBS Independent in Football.

Kennesaw State and North Alabama are currently ASUN members that play Football in the Big South, so if the ASUN wanted to sponsor Football they'd be just 1 team short of the 6 required for an FCS playoff autobid.

Does anyone know if this move is football driven? Because it seems like a step down from the OVC as far as basketball goes.

Beat me to it. Huge step down in basketball.

What is Jax state thinking? They trying to run off Ray Harper? Bet MemphisBlazer is still pissed we didn’t join the ASUN when we had the chance.

FGCU, Liberty, Lipscomb, add JSU & EKU

VS

Murray State
Austin Peay
Morehead State
Belmont
Tennessee State

This is going to get weird, unless this is just a solution around covid which still wouldn’t make sense.

Well sh*t. Let’s get our hoops program out of CUSA and go to OVC.

That's really all you needed to say.
