Imagine the ASun gets Florida Tech and West Florida to move up? Bellarmine is looking at another conference that their goal is. NJIT looking to go elsewhere. Lipscomb could be picked. You could get a southeast A-Sun football conference in Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Get the 2 MEAC Florida schools and South Carolina State could help as well.

Nobody currently in the ASUN, outside maybe Liberty if an FBS conference offered, is looking to go anywhere, at least that's what I have been told from results of conference meetings. The ASUN is being proactive in school retention, putting solutions in place for every members unique needs. I dont look for anyone to actively looking for another conference anytime soon.

And all the members have agreed that 10 is the number, so adding past that is not on the agenda.

There ya go

I think you missed Nova Southeastern in there. They at least have a D1 ready arena. Unfortunately (for them), they're bleeding students as people are increasingly unwilling to pay $60k/year for a bachelor's degree from a university that no one outside of South Florida has ever heard of.

This incident will unfortunately cost FGCU some credibility should they ever decide to field a legit varsity FCS team

They’ve already studied viability, though. They and UNF know it will happen for them. Just a matter of when.

UNF would be first. They have a stadium ready to go.

Because the "scholarship" is to be paid by a wealthy supporter in cash, she needs him to add her to his bank account signature card, so that she can make cash deposits to his account.
