OVC- UTM, TTU, Tennessee State, Austin Peay, SEMO, Eastern Illinois, Murray State

Other than 1 or 2 Tennessee schools, is there any fan interest there?

ASUN- Jacksonville State, Kennessaw State, North Alabama, Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky

Other than possibly Central Arkansas, I see fan interest all over. And maybe some interest in Central Arkansas, they have been good lately.

I love the way you word this “other than one or two Tennessee schools.” Lol. Of course there is fan interest. Alumni and students know people that went/go to all of those Tennessee schools, which there are four. Plus, UT Martin is part of the same system so don’t diminish that fact.

I get it you obviously want “Chatty” in your new conference, but don’t gloss over fanbase facts like where the majority of students and alumni are from. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the suburbs of Atlanta, Huntsville, or Kentucky.

I know a lot of Chattanooga alum, and they do live in Huntsville and Florence. The North Alabama region actually has a lot of Chatty alum. Chattanooga also has a lot of UNA alum.

The fan interest is because of that, and a big rivalry with JSU.

I never hear any of the Chatty folks I know say that they have any interest in playing UTM, or Austin Peay to be honest. They have some interest in Tennessee Tech and some for Tennessee State but not much. They dont even look at ETSU as much of a rivalry anymore.

Say what you will, I'm just going by what alum has told me.
