You'll never see FIU in the Sun Belt. We learned from that mistake years ago, and are perfectly happy with them staying in CUSA.

And I get the Temple thing, but you guys probably should realize that Temple doesn't fit the profile of any single SBC school outside of being reasonably close to a few of them. They are a large urban basketball first school. Outside of Georgia State, the SBC Is entirely rural schools where football is the primary focus.

Yes, and that profile fits us to a T! Very happy to be aboard!
