They need a stadium on campus in a bad way.

In a bad way.

Is it really that far from campus to Ladd-Peebles? Mobile isn't exactly the most sprawled out city in the nation.

They need their own stadium on campus, it is not like Ladd stadium is the Super Dome, or the Georgia Dome, it is in a rough part of town, and not too well maintained.

IM going to be honest. The only One I hate to see go is MTSU.

No, it isn't that far from campus, but an OCS is needed for various other reasons. Stay tuned.

lol

FIU and FAU were fine conference mates, but they're a long road trip and fan support was sadly lacking. UNT pushed the footprint, but they made sense with Texas State. I'm ok with losing the South Florida schools, not so much the others.
