Things are pointing to having all 14 Sun Belt football teams in next fall, but there's still some things to work out, such as exit fees, making sure Little Rock and UTA find a conference and completely re-arraigning a schedule.

App and Marshall were scheduled to play in Huntington next fall, so both schools would need an extra OOC game. And both already have an FCS team slated in 2022. Only one FCS team counts toward the six wins needed for FBS bowl eligibility, so schools will want to avoid it.

If you thought FCS scheduling was annoying, FBS scheduling, especially for a new FBS program, can be tough with how far in advance games are slated. App has games already slated in the 2030s.

Are we alll in agreement we are no Bowl eligible until 2024?

I thought we were thinking we could be Bowl Eligible in 2023?
