not me. those are all regional schools nobody ever heard of..will just lower the image of the conference in the eyes of the typical sports fan out there. I was hoping for nmsu all in and maybe mostate...jmu was not going to be that great of an add, but the least bad of the rest..at this point I would favor not adding any just to be adding.

What do you expect. How many on this board had ever hear of UTA before they were invited to join the conference.......I had not.

Back in 2006-2009 when Troy was giving BCS teams scares left and right I remember going on away games and fans in places like walmart would always ask me, "Troy, that's in New York isn't it?"

ASU used to constantly get confused with an FCS school by other teams fans. Happened for years. Heck, before the opening game of the 2011 season, SBNation's Blog that covers Illinois actually called us an FCS school, and when they got called on it, wrote a very ugly retraction meant to demean us even more.

I haven't seen anyone confuse us with FCS since that year though.
