Shock! The McNeese beat writer told me a couple of weeks back that this was likely, largely due to the SLC's new commissioner, but I had my doubts.

"...Grant would not comment on rumors that Central Arkansas, which left last summer for the Atlantic Sun, might also be looking to make a return to the SLC. “I will say we are going to be aggressive in trying to get recruit schools that fit our league’s profile and footprint,” said Grant. “We will listen and talk to those teams and keep in mind what we are trying to do.”

The ASUN doesn't make geographical sense for them compared to the Southland. Way too spread out. Lots of FL trips. It's not as bad for UNA.

Yet, I've heard a big rumor about the Southland and all ASUN football teams. But, just a rumor so far.

ASUN makes sense for us. We need to be there yesterday but have no leadership.

I wish y'all were, too!

There's rumors that UCA is going FBS too....but only one man knows the reality of it. The A.D.

UCA fans don't care either way. FBS or Southland or ASUN or whatever. Just make up your mind so the fans know what to look for in the future....xlolx

Would love to have you guys in the CUSA. I think we could end up being really good rivals in that conference.

Is Sammy going to update Bowers? Are they required to?

I think they are required to increase seating but that shouldn't be a problem with the grass hills. Adding seats should be pretty easy. What NEEDS to happen is updating and improving the fan experience.

The WAC is suing UIW.

From D1.ticker:

The WAC has sued Incarnate Word to the tune of $2M alleging the Cardinals reneged on their agreement to join the league.

Could happen…

Good for the WAC. Wasn’t a fan of joining the conference but UIW really screwed up scheduling for everyone with what they did. Including Sam Houston.
