The Sun Belt board says they are the pick over EKU.  The Commish is visiting there this month and a bowl game is possible an hour down the road in Charleston.  

could they play a "home" game in Charleston kinda like UMass does at Gillette Stadium and count that towards the 15k requirement?

You REALLY need to re-read that article.

You just seem incapable of reading between  the lines.

The Citadel has a 21,000 seat stadium.  But the Coastal coach is actually a billionaire from his days with Merril Lynch, TD Bank and helped launch TDAmeritrade.   When he retired, he took a volunteer asst job with Nebraska, coached an Omaha UFL team, and then became head coach at Coastal.  Coastal won't have any trouble raising money for a stadium expansion.

So the talk is Texas will go independent in football, go to the ACC in other sports, and Kansas and Oklahoma will join the B1G.

But I'm just fabricating those websites according to Bison fans.

 

where in that article did it say anything about Texas joining the ACC or Kansas/Oklahoma joining the Big Ten?

Yes Bison73, read between the lines. SiouxVolley is a master at it. Just like Fullerton said the Big Sky will be FBS in a couple of years, and UND joining the league was the main reason for making the jump. It not really in there, but that is what Fullerton is saying. Just ask SV.

Bison fans are just too stupid or lazy to google.

Google Texas and ACC, or Oklahoma and Big10.

They really need to be spoon fed like the babies they are.  Guess they just got off a turnip truck.

Perhaps.  Should have posted this in the realignment thread, where it fits.  Oklahoma's Boren has been making a lot of noise about some schools (Texas)  voting against expansion.  Boren wants academic peers, so he wants the B1G.  Kansas will have no choice but to tag along.  UT will get the same deal as Notre Dame in the ACC.  The discussion is in full bore at CSSNBS.

Why wouldn't Texas join the SEC instead of the ACC, geography and Texas A&M would be a plus compared to traveling to Duke and Wake Forest.

UT isn't gonna follow A&M.  ACC is higher academically (Pitt, UVa, UNC, Duke, GA Tech are AAU compared with Vandy, UF, Mizzou, and A&M).  If Texas goes independent in football like ND, it could schedule ND, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, a PAC12 team, a Big 10 team, and up to 4 ACC teams.  It would keep the Longhorn network.  Mega $S.

The SEC, Big 10, and PAC12 would force UT to drop the Longhorn network.

If Texas moves and if the Oklahomas and Kansas' move would there be room for a Big 12 north division also known as the MVFC/BSC FBS division? How sweet that would be.

If there is a Big 12 north there would be no need to include BSC teams. They would take NDSU, SDSU, UNI and Illinois State and would have no need for any BSC teams. It's not happening, but if it did, it would not be good news for UND or their fans.

MWC and American plays an FBS schedule, MVFC plays FCS teams....big difference. Teams like NDSU could probably hold their own in the MWC with a degree of difficulty but not your whole conference, and I know you can think of MVFC teams that would struggle in the next level.

haha..you are kidding right???

Is this artice good enough for you?  Coastal Carolina will expand their stadium beyond 20,000 if they get a Sun Belt bid, which they most certainly would accept.  Coastal has a pittance in endowment.

 They are and have been looking at other teams as well. So whats your point?

When does UND join the National, Football League?

SiouxVolley says give it a couple of years. They haven't quite worked it out with Goodell if the top of the BSC is going to be their own conference in the AFC or NFC.

Good to have that inside scoop here at Siouxsports, isn't it?
