Wonder if these changes effect WVU’s scheduled move.

I’d like to keep WVU.

If Marshall, ODU, JMU, and Southern Miss move to the SBC as speculated the SBC would have enough members to sponsor soccer. That impacts the MAC because the two SBC Georgia schools would leave.

WVU was making a move to CUSA soccer with Kentucky and South Carolina but would it want to be affiliated with the Sun Belt? I suppose that UK and South Carolina could make the move to SBC soccer but would they be okay with the SBC logo (figuratively) being attached to their Universities?

If this move happens, the MAC better be on the phone with WVU, Kentucky, and South Carolina about moving their soccer programs to the MAC. Not sure how the auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament would work for a newly formed soccer conference. My guess is that the SBC would have to go through some sort of initiation period where it has to earn that auto-bid.

That would be good for MAC soccer. Lose the two new Georgia schools but get to keep WVU and add Kentucky (at least) and maybe South Carolina as well.
