They'd be below Georgia Southern, Charlotte, Appalachian State, any Texas or Louisiana WAC left overs, but I'd place them above Liberty. I wouldn't dismiss them as a matter of course though. The enrollment for JSU is on the smallish size (I only count on campus figures by the way) as another downside but it is larger than at least one Belt school. I'd place JSU above Murray State, equal to Lamar, and below Missouri State if thinking about programs which are not the most obvious choices. I'd also place them above Kennesaw State as of now.

West Florida isn't even Division 1 for any sport and isn't a realistic possibility. They neither have football nor a place to play. They have zero history of support for any sport. West Florida is little different than Auburn-Montgomery (NAIA) or Alabama-Huntsville (D2).

UWF isn't going to do anything. Here's why. They are in Pensacola. Pensacola doesn't do 'big' things. Just an airport. That's all.

Pensacola has lots to sell. But they just won't. Perhaps its because they have a larger temporary population than Mobile. Perhaps its because they are a outlier of their state. Perhaps its because they have no influence on a state level.

And don't even get me started with Okaloosa County, a place with 200,000+ people without a 4 year university.


A lot of the Pensacola Good Ol' Boy Network is starting to get old and die.
And the new Mayor has been pro growth.

The new Maritime Park is awesome.
The Blue Wahoos are playing AA ball in a beautiful new 5k seat park.

But yeah.
Pensacola hasn't given a damn about growth in past years.

UWF has a lot of potential though. The new BOT has been very aggressive with growing the campus and improving the "campus experience".
And UWF is its own entity.
It isn't the University of Florida at Pensacola. Or FSU Ensley Campus.
Unlike AUM or UAH or poor poor UAB, UWF's BOT is on their side.

Their latest study by the research committee said they suggest UWF add football and upgrade all sporting facilities to D1 standards.
It's linked on their website for those that are curious.
