Valdosta is finding itself in a tough situation geographically and financially. We know that they can't make any immediate moves to DI.

The moratorium is up in 7 months.

I kept thinking it was another year, but yep Feb. is 7 months.

Is the website going to update with current UAC team links at the top?

Also when is volleyball media day and where at?

The only item I’ve seen VB related, is the conference tournament is scheduled for Conway, Arkansas, home of Central Arkansas.

Close but I think its at UALR. Did the Wac not have a volleyball preview where coaches give interviews about preseason outlook plus a preseason vote on finish?

Here is Professor Chaos' article of the AGS 2026 Preseason Poll that came out today. The UAC had 3 teams in the top 25: Tarleton @#6, ACU @#15 and Austin Peay @#20. Both UWG and Central Arkansas received votes.

Valdosta would be a horrible add to the UAC. I don’t think there is any substance to this at all. Nothing in the video/story suggested it. Just the vague we are looking at all our options speech. It might give UNA a conference win so I guess there’s that angle. Tennessee Martin and SEMO fell through, so we got West Florida. That should be the end of D2 call ups.

Jax State was in the GSC with them for years and they have been mentioned as a candidate to move up in the past. But they have a very small budget and only sponsor 12 sports, you need 14 for FCS. They don’t have women’s track so adding indoor and outdoor would do it but cost money.

And the AD saying they have been approached doesn’t mean they got an official invitation. It could have been as simple as a couple of their old GSC buddies asking if they’re interested.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Their football is pretty much screwed unless they can find an affiliate home somewhere.

Yes I mixed up my sports. It’s the conference soccer tournament which will be in Conway.

This is always fun. Will we get a Tarleton Roster, or will we get our season tickets first. Always a fun game in Stephenville. Sometimes we almost get to game week. Meanwhile, I can tell you who Montana State offered for 2028.
Whitten said one time, he doesn’t make it public cause everyone else immediately offers. So what! Aren’t we a big dog now?
Whatever. Not posting the Roster is just lazy.

The agreement includes:
Linear coverage of the ASUN Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship games.
Linear coverage of the UAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship games.
Linear coverage of regular season men’s basketball.
Inclusion of a select linear event – any sport – for each conference each year. This year’s selected game features Tarleton State Football hosting Prairie View A&M in Week 0.
Annual collaboration of additional regular season and championship opportunities across ESPN networks.
Over 1,200 digital productions on ESPN+.
Comprehensive live coverage of regular-season competition across multiple sports.
Exclusive streaming of conference championship events.
Ability to produce 188 local linear games.
Expanded visibility for student-athletes, institutions, and conference brands.
