This source is extremely well connected and said flatly UMass for f'ball only & NMSU all sports. Nobody else under consideration. Sorry Liberty. JMU can't seem to get off the sidelines and make a decision. Missouri State simply not ready to make a move at this time. My hope is the SB would take on 2 more non football teams in the region to make it easier on the non revenue programs. Gonna be interesting.

I am hearing JMU out...but Liberty in.

We've always known Missouri State would be a 2015 add.

What about UMass?

They have called...but its far too early to speculate.

The big thing I am hearing is that a UMass add is independent of a Liberty/JMU/Missouri State add. The need for a travel partner for App State is still there either way, and if Missouri State is interested, you can pretty much count on ASU and ULL making sure they get in.

That would put us at 13 if UMass was added. Just find it hard to believe they would do an odd number, other than 9. Could see 14 with Liberty, UMass and one other, but after reading years of griping about 13 on the MAC board would think if they did that they would add one more.

I say UMass has made they decision. Now it is time to let them sink or swim as an independent when it comes to there football team. The AAC does not need them for basketball and there football team will only make the conference worse. The Sun Belt does not need there sorry football program.
