Hopefully we are competitive, have some early success, and a good fan following (25,000 or more). I suspect our only options will be C-USA or AAC. I think the SunBelt bridge has been burnt. However, I suppose some new conference could form. Given our history, that may be most likely.

I expect the BSC to vote to allow the rest of LU's sports to remain in the BSC. It will be interesting should they not. I would then expect LU to join the Atlantic Sun in all sports but football. I would love to move into a bigger more competitive conference, but I don't see that happening yet.

The putrid BSC traveling fan base of teams coming to LU will improve substantially with most any teams traveling to Williams Stadium. With a 25% home base jump and 1,000 +/- for away fans attending, that should work well for future LU home game attendance.

I have attended BSC home games at LU and there seemed 50 or less fans from away teams. Pretty dismal for a FCS conference.
