To even out the Olympic spots side, I'm sure there is a non-football school in the east coast (A-Sun conference?)that would like to be part of the Sunbelt.

Unc Greensboro is the only non football school in the socon and pairs nicely with app state

I don't see UNCG leaving the SoCon for the SunBelt. It would either be SoCon or CAA for them...

There is no commitment to sports at UNCG. They add nothing to the Sun Belt unless you just need another meddling, mediocre basketball team and the Sun Belt already has plenty of those including my own Mountaineers. On the plus side though, they do play their home games at the Greensboro Coliseum. There will be plenty of empty seats for fans of visiting teams.

As an UNCG alumnus, I agree with you. Compared to App, their athletic department is run like a Mom & Pop shop. UNCG still lives in the shadow of Women's College...

In many ways this is totally true. I graduated from App, but work at UNCG so I see it firsthand. It's a shame, the Coliseum could be a huge recruiting advantage for UNCG if they made a genuine commitment to winning. They do have a decent basketball coach now though and the school has much untapped potential if Athletics got in gear.
