From the article...
Quote:As one of the top research universities in the southeast and the country, GSU needs to move its athletic department forward.
That is a true statement. Our athletic facilities need to catch up with our academic facilities. I also believe we need attendance stability in either basketball over 3k or football over 20k or both for a couple of years. I would say at least 5 teams from the Sun Belt would make a jump to CUSA let alone AAC if the opportunity came.
Dress for the job you want. Not the one you have. If you do that, you raise the level of the Sun Belt until you get it.
No offense Stan, but I think you and Ben are both severely overrating your academic prestige.
I don't believe so.
