Actually, the real problem is one of media coverage. Yes, there are 200,000 people in Anniston/Gadsden. But.... No television stations are there. At best, in whatever media market JAX claims its' in, you will be no better than the fourth most covered team in that market. And that wouldn't change even if you made the jump to FBS. Perhaps if the TV station on JAX State's campus moved away from Jesus programming and combined a local newscast with commercial programming, then at least there'd be one station that covered you guys that people watched. Again, not your fault, but I don't see you guys getting any media exposure outside of two newspapers. Unless UAB drops football, that isn't going to change.

Troy is tertiary in Montgomery (behind Alabama and Auburn). They could actually be primary in Dothan and SE Alabama as there isn't anyone else there. And unlike Gadsden/Anniston, Dothan has its' own media.

USA is the one and only institution playing D-1 sports on the Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida Gulf Coasts. The university is relevant and heavily covered throughout in the Mobile-Pensacola TV market. And since much of our student population comes from Mississippi, we can try to grow into the Biloxi-Gulfport market as well.


Fair points. The only thing I will say on the media thing is that after watching an 11Alive news cast a couple weeks ago, on a Sunday night, Sam Crenshaw actually had a piece on this very subject (because of the GSU offer), and he stated that there were 3 possibilities for other SunBelt newcomers; ASU, JSU, and Ga Southern.... While I was amazed that Jax State was even listed, I was also amazed that he and the guest (Russell Wright of Collegiate Consultants) both agreed that JSU fits nicely between the Birmingham and Atlanta sports markets. I was NOT amazed that Mr. Wright stated that JSU has to update certain facilities.... I am not naive enough, nor is anyone else at JSU, to think that just because we made some great improvements to our stadium that we should get an offer to an FBS conference. We know we had to have a clear vision, and we have been putting that vision into motion now for the last couple years.

I personally would like JSU to stay in the FCS for a while, and so would some of my JSU brothers. You all are are welcome to visit our board...

Wait, you mean someone in the media actually mentioned Georgia Southern as a viable candidate for the Sunbelt???? What would Saint and Panama do if that happened??????

Sounded like it was merely speculation on Crenshaw's part to me, anyway, the inclusion of Jax State should tell you the whole thing was meaningless.

No, your wrong. It wasn't speculation. Those words came directly from Russell Wright, who did the Ga State study, plus he's actually stated so in my communication with him.
