Robert Morris just joined the Horizon and would really stretch the footprint so I don't consider them realistic.

Perhaps if by some miracle they could convince Youngstown State to join in, the two could be packaged together, but that's a very big stretch.

Maybe Lindenwood, Arkansas Tech, UAH, or North Georgia? I dunno their interest level or if one of them is destined for the ASUN. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois are pretty picked over. University of Indianapolis (private school, not IUPUI) could be interesting as a non-football school.

Alabama-Huntsville and North Georgia are non-football. Indianapolis is not interested. Lindenwood has been a full D2 member only since 2013, yes that was also the year California Baptist became a full D2 member but Lindenwood has 27 sports (most in D2) including football compared to CBU's 18 sports and no football. And we at Arkansas Tech have no desire for D1.

Good catch, I didn’t do my homework, I just looked for the big schools in the region. I’m surprised that Georgia’s military college isn’t a football school. UAH, I should’ve caught that. Nobody else in Arkansas Tech’s conference is a flight risk, so if they don’t want out, nothing should force their hand.
