Somewhat, however there are some that are certain a FCS addition is very possible. The quote that I posted says no.

To be sure some are not convinced by that discussion, but that piece is simply summarizing that side of the discussion that took place here (and conference realignment and similar sites) following that EKU email circulating.

Since its just summarizing "online discussion", and this is one of the places where the "online discussion" it is talking about took place, its just an echo. There's no new information in it.

From Friday:

Quote: Here is a claimed email from EKU.

Dear Campus:

We have learned from the Commissioner of the Sun Belt that we are no longer being considered for expansion at this time. Instead, the member institutions of the Sun Belt seem to be narrowing their attention to those universities currently within the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and not to those Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) schools considering a move upward.

We will remain in the Ohio Valley Conference, will continue to improve our facilities and expand our programs, and will compete on the national stage of FCS football.

I have appreciated the input received from interested faculty, staff, and students on the topic of EKU and the future of our athletics progracm and remain committed to moving our institution forward, both academically and athletically.
