We're way ahead of EKU in the moving up business. We lack renovating our arena, which im sure would be done immediately upon an invite.
we have the stadium, have upgraded our softball field, and are currently involved in upgrading our baseball and tennis facilities. Our arena is waiting on the word of a move, there is some talk of renovating the Pete and some talk of building a new arena.

ZERO chance Jacksonville State gets in.

I must have missed it but why isn't Jax St. higher on the list? Why don't S AL and Troy want them?

Troy and USA don't want JSU because they believe 5 FBS schools in Alabama is enough, basically. The reasons really come down to recruiting territories and prospects, TV time and money, and other silly politics... We at JSU believe those are the reasons, but the state of Alabama can handle 6 FBS teams with no problem.

There is certainly enough talent there to go around. I personally like it as they are obviously smack dap in the middle of the footprint. Top 10 FCS attendance. Descent history in football.
