If the SBC goes to 12 for Football....
Right now the consensus on the Sun Belt Board seems to be of the 2 below scenarios:
1.) Extending a life raft to NMSU and Idaho for FOOTBALL only membership.
Advantages: Existing FBS programs, Gets a championship game, No FCS move up Stigma
Disadvantages: Horrible Distance, Both programs are not good, Castaway rep for the SBC.
2.) Inviting App State and Georgia Southern full sports
Advantages: Good FCS program history with muliple championships for both, Championship game, Regional footprint solidified.
Disadvantages: FCS Startup stigma for SBC again, APP State travel is hard, No local interest.
Neither is set, and TBH the commisioner has not stated he wants 12 anyway, but many seem to feel that the SBC should do it and joing the 'Big Boy" club with a championship game.
So if you HAD to choose, which of these 2 would you choose?

Look at WKU, they were terrible for a few years and then last year they got robbed and should've gone to a bowl with 7 wins. Plus I've read that Idaho would rather go independent then join the Belt
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

I mean since we would be in the East anyway we would probably only have to play NMSU and Idaho once every 4 years but even thats a bit much for my taste.
My votes in for AppState and GASouth
Rick, any chance we could get a poll up?

Are Villanova and UMass possible for football only?
UMASS and 'Nova are likely Big East bound for football. I've been all over getting GA Southern and App State in the Belt if they're ready for the move. Both have great fan bases and could compete immediately.
FAU Class of '87
