I disagree. They just started football and had great suggest. The fan support is growing. They are in the land of UF and FSU.
SBC enrollments
TSU - 38,231
GSU - 28,990
Ga Sou - 26,949 (Fall 2020
JMU - 21,496
App State - 20,641
ODU - 18,708 (undergrad Fall 2021)
ULL - 16,225
Troy - 15,507
USA - 15,030
USM - 14,146
Ark State - 14,109
UWF - 13,043
CCU - 10, 404
ULM - 8,854
MAR - 8,001 (undergrad Fall 2021)
SBC is made of established brands. You ask 20 people what UWF is, 15 of them will think it's a wrestling promotion. If you were able to pull over a UAB, ECU or hell, even an NC A&T over UWF you'd do it.
Thats too funny, I honestly had to google the abbreviation to see if it was a wrestling tournament.
So you just proved you don't know everything.

mfer.... Wow
You newbies are touchy, very sensitive individuals. You get invited to the conference and you think you own the message board.
Harbor's been here longer than you and I've been here a decade longer than you. It's not one message board. But no one wants to hear about that school. Take the hint.

RE: SBC should start looking at UWF for membership
I can see where most of you are coming from on this subject and it’s understandable, but UWF was established a year or two before South. They have grown over the years, but like USA, did not start a football program until much later. For those that don’t know, the Argonauts are an NCAA Div. 2 member of the Gulf South Conference. They’ve been quite successful since starting up. Personally I believe it’s a little too premature for them to be talking FBS, especially Sun Belt Conference athletics, but 5-7 years from now, who knows what the make up of college football (what we are really talking about), will be like?

You guys can drop down a division and hold their hand. They would not improve our media deal and would therefore not be worth adding, along with anybody available right now. That is why this is dumb. At least wait until a viable situation occurs where this might be remotely f-ing relevant.
And isn't realignment garbage while there is no realignment considered off topic here? How about school pimping? I guess CUSA has the better board in those regards.

RE: SBC should start looking at UWF for membership
I would be perfectly happy to consider UWF in 12-15 years if they are able to build a fan base and maintain their football success, but talking about them now is like a kid in Kindergarten talking about who they want to be their date to senior prom.

Brilliant reply. Not... Who the hell said anything about wanting them in the Sun Belt? Any school that has the ambition and money can move up to FBS, by way of FCS if they qualify otherwise, more power them. Relax it isn't going to cost you a dime one way or another.
