Down in the article, says they approached 8 conferences and got 2 invites. The other one was the ASun. Anyone who thinks the ASun/UAC is stealing Big South teams is dead wrong.

Quote:The committee examined eight conferences and got invitations from two: the Big South and the Atlantic Sun, which has no North Carolina members and doesn't play football. King said A&T considered the Southern Conference, whose members include UNCG, but the university did not ask to become a Southern member and was not invited to join.

That's the key right there. If the UAC gets going with football we will see which teams might go from where.

Why not wait then? Surely the UAC/ASun told them of their plans. It’s not like the MEAC is disappearing soon

Big South is much better for travel for all other sports. NC A&T estimates 40% travel savings in the Big South. They wouldn't get that in the current A-Sun
