If it is, it's pointless. just call it the BSFC for the football part.

If all sports I can't see the ncaa saying okay, 33 AQs now. 1 less big name to the tourney and 1 more N.Florida. I would like them to expand to 72 w or without a new AQ.

I wanna know who's idea this was? Liberty, the other 7?

I suspect all ten. But, with the understanding that ASun won't be the waystation it has always been; UAC will now be this place.

It kicks the can down the road for ASun administratively. Rather than scramble around for members in a reactive stance, and be at the ready for waiver requests should enough schools get calls for other conferences, let UAC take that load on.

But, I get the impression that ASun and Big South both have similar problems with programs that may not be up to the conference standard. Establish the baseline for UAC, and now you create this feeder system for all of the conferences in the region, while having a passageway for programs to situate.

My question is...is this a tip-off that they know other conferences, like Sun Belt, Big South, and CUSA might be looking to do their own cleansing? UAC becomes the safety net conference for all of these misfits across FCS and FBS?
