Best Case - ARSTATEFAN1986 - 04-02-2014 11:14 PM

What would be the best case scenario for the belt?

1. Add Missouri State and get this coveted school...Football can wait until 2015.

2. Add New Mexico State's oly sports

3. Add Liberty...as they may now have the votes.

4. Add Massachusetts as football only.

I'm actually cool with that makeup. Umass, Mo St, nmsu all sports, and Liberty would be okay adds for the belt. With nmsu, mo st, and liberty being programs that want to be in the belt.


RE: Best Case - Tom in Lazybrook - 04-03-2014 12:10 AM

Actually

1) NMSU in all sports
2) Missouri State in all sports

Would be ideal.

No need to go over 12 or take multiple moveups


RE: Best Case - MTPiKapp - 04-03-2014 12:16 AM

No way, no how does a "best case" involve a Liberty invite.


RE: Best Case - moneymike - 04-03-2014 12:17 AM

I think the conference feels they need to honor the supposed promise many posters claim they gave app state. Also, the eastern schools will definitely want something no way they would let there be western adds only they would become powerless pretty soon.


RE: Best Case - stAtecamera13 - 04-03-2014 12:40 AM

I'm to the point where I don't care who we add just do it already. I don't understand why these things take so long. Ask if they say no then move on.if the world operated like that then things would go farther.

Keep it simple and add James Madison and you are done. When did Missouri State become a "coveted school"?


RE: Best Case - CrimsonPhantom - 04-03-2014 01:45 AM

NMSU would jump at any chance to get all sports into one conference, no matter the makeup.


RE: Best Case - bladhmadh - 04-03-2014 05:49 AM

best case JMU. next best UMass football only. After that LU.


Best Case - GaSouthern - 04-03-2014 06:52 AM

Best case IMO is still adding JMU and Missouri St and NMSU all sports

If JMU says no then add liberty.


RE: Best Case - arkstfan - 04-03-2014 08:39 AM

I am skeptical of any projected outcome that involves NMSU all-sports. West Virginia has more Big XII teams within less than 1000 miles than NMSU would in the Sun Belt


RE: Best Case - asupatch - 04-03-2014 08:51 AM

In this order.

Add JMU all sports best.
Add UMASS football only until JUM is ready.
Add Missouri State all sports.
Add EKU all sports.
Add Jax State all sports.


Have yet to envision a good outcome involving that school in Lynchburg.


RE: Best Case - GaSoEagle - 04-03-2014 08:54 AM

I think JMU has made it clear they are not coming to the Sun Belt as an all-sports member.


RE: Best Case - Tom in Lazybrook - 04-03-2014 09:02 AM

The Sun Belt didn't promise App Liberty. They promised them that they'd try to find a close partner. The Belt has tried with JMU. That obligation is done.


Give them some of Idaho's travel money and be done with it.

Does the SBC really need non-football playing schools? Add NMSU for all sports and have an all sports requirement for any new members. There are other conferences that would take UALR and UTA.

UALR and UTA are good conference members...there is no need for them to go elsewhere. Since UALR and UTA don't have football...Idaho and Massachusetts take their spots in football.

I found that puzzling, to say the least.

Keep it simple and add James Madison and you are done. When did Missouri State become a "coveted school"?

James Madison has had ample time to make it's intentions known...time to move on! They can wait for the next ship to arrive. Missouri State has been coveted since the 1990's...longer than Texas State was even a thought.

Ill glady be behind Mizzou State. As long as it keeps the Flamers, far far away.


RE: Best Case - pjc1979 - 04-03-2014 10:21 AM

Best Case:

1) Drop Idaho football
2) Add New Mexico State as full member
3) Add Missouri State
4) Add JMU or Liberty
