I do have food. Mom and dad gave me a valentine's day present and bought me groceries. Free dinner and groceries. Turned out to be a great day.

Less travel and a better geographical fit than the Atlantic Sun I guess...Competitively, I'd say the Big South is stronger in both men's and women's basketball. A-Sun probably has an edge in baseball, but both leagues are solid in that sport. Don't know much about the A-Sun in other sports. Also, given that there isn't real advantage to being in the A-Sun, they'd probably prefer to have all of their sports in one conference anyway. And who knows, since they deal with both conferences anyway, maybe they just like the Big South better. I know alot of people on here can't stand the conference, but it isn't all bad.
