South Alabama is a founding member and has been a member fifteen years longer than Arkansas State and Louisiana.

Yeah but football drives the bus and they are newborns in that realm.

I don't really think the distinction is necessary, running a football program is not that much different and it's not like it's the basketball and softball coaches running the program, they have football people running their football program. USA is the old guard of the SBC.

There is a huge distinction, in total percentage of cost towards your budget. The football operational budget is the largest expense for most FBS programs. They were running an athletic program that didn't have football, similar to Denver and ULAR. Old guard, but no football.
