From page 36. We were all discussing the sun belt, MAC, and CUSA.

No offense but you're way off - I was responding to this quote from Cider Jim -

"I'm LOVING that idea: a truly regional FBS conference with close away gamess: that sounds like the best of both worlds! How many LU fans would travel to away games at the MAC, C-USA, or Sun Belt conferences?"

Regional FBS conference....

Cider is a smart man. Especially when you consider where he matriculated his undergrad

Yes. Complete respect for Cider Jim, just don't agree with a a regional FBS conference.

WAC east of App State, JMU, Georgia Southern, etc?

Logic, I would be fine with a WAC-East division that included many of the current I-AA schools moving up--like LU, Appy, JMU, etc.

It just sounds weird to have Virginia schools in a WESTERN Athletic Conference.

(Has anyone checked the flight plans to see if any WAC, MAC, CUSA, or Sun Belt commissioners are flying into Lynchburg today or tomorrow?).

Only the typical US Airways flights to Charlotte show up right now. Of course in the morning there's a better chance the general aviation flights will show up, but I really doubt they come.

I agree as well. I would not be in favor of those regional schools being the only members however.

The only thing I don't like with the WAC-East idea is that it ends up being the "aww -- look at the little 1-AA schools wearing their big brother's cloths? Aren't they cute?" thing if it's full of former FCS schools. Is it really moving up when we're playing schools we could play where we're at already?

That and the conference name just seems a little wacky to me .... ;)

As of right now, all eyes are on the ACC. ESPN low-balled the latest ACC contract. If I recall, they did the same to the Big 10 years ago. The Big 10 retaliated by partnering with FOX and created the BTN.

FSU and Clemson are rumored to leave for the Big XII. If this happens, Miami and GT are sure to follow, VT and NCST would go to the SEC, while UNC, Duke, MD, and UVA would go to the Big 10. :shock:

What does this mean for LU? We might be in the Big East before my 2020 prediction! :P Seriously though, the fans of the Sun Belt, MAC, and C-USA can talk all they want. They may NEED Liberty to fill there quota (or team count).

Not sure if its been discussed..

I wander if Shaka would have stayed? Or if Shaka had influence in going to the A10.

Maybe I should say it this way: If he didn't want to go to the A-10, they wouldn't be there. Remember, they don't have an AD right now, only an interim.
