IrishSiouxFan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 With the SunBelt saying no to both Idaho and NMSU, does Idaho finally say it's time to head back to the Big Sky? http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/eye-on-college-football/19134749/sun-belt-wont-add-idaho-new-mexico-st-fcs-the-next-step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This could be interesting if there is any truth to it: @JeffCaves: Sun Belt commish Karl Benson said Jax St, Ga Southern, Liberty, App St looked into joining Sun Belt and now will explore WAC fb membership Football by SiouxFootball on May 23, 2012 08:29:41 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great way to run a conference as UND saw in the Great West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My thoughts exactly 82; but with Boise and SDSU playing football in the Big East who really knows what could happen these days. My initial fear was them making a play for the Montanas. If I were a president at one of these top FCS schools I would sit tight for now and wait and see what the four major conferences are doing because it really looks like they are trying to break away from everyone else.

IrishSiouxFan Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think the SunBelt wants to pick up App State, it would add a very good football program and fanbase to the conference. Unfortunately for GA Southern many schools in the Belt recruit heavily out of Georgia and wouldn't want the extra competition for talented athletes, they do have a good program and an excellent fanbase. I think it's time for Idaho to admit they screwed up by not improving their facilities and not making more bowl appearances and that it's time to come back to the Sky.

The Sicatoka Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I think Idaho and the BSC will "meet in the middle". I suspect the superconferences will ask for (spelled: demand) a new tier of DI footballl for just them. That'll leave the bottom 50 of FBS and FCS to sort things out.
