I hope they join immediately. Why wait an extra season?

Money and scheduling. At least those are the two issues I’ve heard.

The SLC bylaws stipulate schools planning to leave are required to give two years notice or face a fine on top of exit fees. That’s what happened to Texas State when they left. This time around rumor has it the SLC wanted us gone sooner rather than later so apparently they waived the fine?

The schools have also been working on scheduling details. Football schedules and contracts had to be adjusted.

They did give a 2 year notice. I also heard the rumors regarding the SLC, so hopefully they worked it out and hopefully they are coming next year.

As for scheduling, why can't they keep their current schedule? They are all FCS teams with FCS schedules.
