I keep seeing maps on Twitter that include them. I thought they were leaving and we would be 14 all-sports. No?

They will be gone by 2023

As said in other threads they won't be forced out. Encouraged to find a new home and will help by waiving exit fees. My guess is they will find a home after the dust settles.

SBC will continue to count them as members with the knowledge that both know they need to find new homes. My guess is you'll see both of those gets announced in the next few months.

I was a big fan of the reporter for Little Rock's paper making a big deal today about how close Southern Miss is to UALR...Amazing how local press down there is so aloof they don't know what is happening.

Here are also a couple other recent threads discussing it if you're bored and want to read them.

I think you are right. I don't think any of the conferences know what they need until all the dominoes fall. We will probably be the last to find a home due to our NFB status

Kind of a shame. Both have been great conference mates. But times change. I bet we keep scheduling UALR.

Like I said many times, they couldn't care less if there is not a hog on it. This is a pretty critical time for the local university. But, not one word about it yet in the Little Rock newspaper.
