Not a ton said since it was a long interview about mostly other subjects.
"We are flattered to be even listed among the 17 schools interested in the Big 12."
"He keeps hearing comments about why we're not in the same league as Houston, TCU etc. Wants to know why not? That's where we are working to be"
"We remain happy with our current membership in the Sun Belt Conference, which has been good to us for 15 years of football"
"Arkansas State has no interest in joining Conference USA in its current alignment. Been there, done that with all of those teams."
"We would be very interested in a geographically realigned version of the G5 leagues, and he still thinks that is the best way for the G5 to succeed in the future."
Midweek games:
He does not like midweek games, thinks they are terrible for attendance, however in this case it is the best way to get exposure on a major TV network.
ESPN has complete control of which games are selected for Tuesday Night. Sun Belt does not have a say. In the case of Friday Night games, ESPN requested the move, and we agreed after researching the success of Friday Night games.
He hopes a marquee opponent in Georgia Southern for our Wednesday Night game will help bring eyeballs to the league to watch what will be an exciting football game.
Future Plans
Still behind in facility enhancement. Once the End Zone complex for football is complete, the plan is to build a new baseball facility.
The school hopes to be able to add Softball in the near future and build them a facility.
