Out of the 8 schools left in the A-Sun...

- Florida Gulf Coast is on an island, and without football there is no escape. They desperately need the A-Sun remain.

- Kennesaw State by necessity will be looking to leave. I wouldn't mind seeing them in the Southern if they expanded further.

- Lipscomb seems like they are staying put. I personally don't ever want to be affiliated with that school again.

- North Florida is a good school on the rise. They seem attractive, but no football is the problem.

- Jacksonville could have made a push to improve athletics 10 years ago, but yet they remain at a consistent level. A small enrollment hurts, but I'd think they have the ability to move if they wanted to. An A-Sun implosion and JAX & Kennesaw are the first 2 picks.

- Northern Kentucky...I guess a northern league might take them, but I don't know much on that situation.

- Stetson appears to be staying put in the A-Sun. I don't see them going scholarship football at the current field they use. They'd need a major facility upgrade first.

- USC Upstate should be staying put for the long haul.


I think the A-Sun will survive with no problems, just need 2+ schools for flexibility. Probably 3 since Kennesaw will be leaving at some point.
