Yeah they could keep their basketball in a "stronger" conference. NMSU would be great for all sports. They've been a great conference mate in the WAC so far.

1. Missouri State
2. UTA (SBC member -adding football)
3. Kennesaw State (adding football - another school in ATL in case Ga State picked off by CUSA at later date)
4. Lamar (former SBC with good relations)
5. Florida Gulf Coast (good future)
6. North Florida (good future)

I think the "not being interested" is a typical cover story for potentially not being invited. What is the risk? At our level, teams move and move back without any real consequences. You can join a conference and end up in another before playing a game or you can join and change your mind and go back.

The only problem with some of these schools would be what we have heard about the Western Block.
Schools not wanting so many Eastern schools, so would they vote for it?
Probably only if those voting that way were appeased.
So would imagine, Missouri State, EKU, or some school the Western Block would be OK with.
JMU would be great, but would the Western Block even consider them or would they be blocked.

This is EXACTLY the problem with chasing a number of schools. None of the candidates are as good as two Appy and Ga State.

Does that mean that taking Idaho and NMSU for football only is the best option in your opinion then?

Is it bad enough that football only would not be an option?

Liberty will be next, unless JMU has a change of heart which I don't see happening.

I think that makes sense. They took Idaho and NMST as Football members only because that is all that would make sense based on them being so far out of the footprint. LU will fit much better in the all-sports spot that WKU would leave. As far as I know LU does not want to go anywhere without an All-Sport invite.

EKU does not have the stadium. Roy Kidd Stadium holds 20K and is basically a one sided stadium, with like 1K on the other side for visitors.

Thats plenty of capacity to start the jump now and start construction. It's also the easiest design to expand on, you can do anything you want on the other side of the field where the 1K seat side is.

It's not Liberty. Look southwest. Has 10th tv market. Two teams, one or both.
