I hate to burst your bubble on this, but the Sun-Belt isn't "big boy football." Before anyone here flips out C-USA football isn't either, and at this point the BE really isn't either. You are raising up a level, but the average fan in Atlanta isn't going to care that much more. They wouldn't care that much more if you got in C-USA/alliance, and only slightly more for the BE. This isn't meant as hate on anyone, but honestly non-AQ football has been watered down to the point where there's very few who register on anything more than a regional level, and the only thing saving the BE from the same fate currently is an affiliation with Notre Dame.

Casual fans who aren't already into your program won't know the difference between the FCS opponents and the Sun Belt opponents. I'll bet I could walk outside right now and find a casual football fan and convince them that every southeastern FCS team is already in the Sun Belt.
