NoDak.. I agree with your thoughts on this. It makes sense that they're swinging for the fences with FBS if they are making this move. Here's my main follow up question though: How many schools within the current ASUN would actually be ready for FBS in the next few years? Obviously Liberty is already there. I'll assume Kennesaw State could get ready. Beyond those two, I don't see anyone else. North Alabama maybe as a longshot. Stetson highly unlikely to ever go that route. The rest of the ASUN doesn't even have football teams at all! So 2 teams in the ASUN would be FBS ready within 5 years (1 for sure). Why do I bring this up? Because if high prestige teams like JMU are looking to create a new FBS league, why in the world do they need the Atlantic Sun to do it for them? Why would you attach your high level brand to a conference that can't keep members and is consistently bottom ranked? Why wouldn't they form a league on their own and hire their own leaders to guide them into FBS? That's my main question. Is there really so much red tape that they needed to go through these crazy hoops with the CCSA conference to make this happen? Very interesting stuff!

And another question I'd have... Who is the leader of this idea? Is the Atlantic Sun creating a new league in hopes of attracting high level teams? Or are high level teams quietly instructing the A-Sun to create a new league for them?
