It doesn't matter how you get there. Just need a date to get in.

With that said I would be shocked if we get the invite.

In the spirit of Prom Season:
It doesn't matter who you go with. What matters is who you go home with! Bow chick a wow wow

Personally, I'd say we turn them down if they offer at this point. It's obvious they don't really want us, and they're doing everything they can to avoid inviting us. I'd say we tell them to take a hike and focus on winning some playoff games this year.

I know, I know -- I'd love to see Liberty playing at the FBS level, but the way the Sun Belt has been acting toward Liberty, it reminds me WAY too much of high school, and Liberty is the last-ditch, "don't want to go to the dance alone, we can always ditch her when we get there after a dance or two" date. Screw that.

How have they been acting? The commissioner has been pushing LU, some have visited our campus. Are we their first choice? No. But since JMU is probably out, I have no problem winning by default!

No wonder you WVU guys are burning so many couches!

Let's say the Sunbelt actually does pick us up for 2014 theirs no way this fall could be rescheduled with a few more FBS teams, everyones already got a full schedule?!?!

Bye bye to VMI

[WinthropEagleFan]

If next year is their final year in the league, I wonder if they'll extend their streak to 11 straight years without winning a single regular season or tournament championship in any sport during their time in the Big South?

[ATrain]

So instead of getting beat by Liberty and Coastal in football every year, they'd rather be beat by Wofford and Furman. Got it. It also leaves UNCG as the only non-football member of the SoCon.

As far as hoops, without App State, Davidson and Charleston, VMI could have a legitimate chance in that league. Then again, they've had legitimate chances in the Big South too.

[MCJohansen]

Who does that leave for football?

Char Southern
Liberty
Coastal
Presby
Gardner Webb

At this point I just want to go to a better FCS home.

It would not be necessary to have a FBS schedule in a transition year. The schedule would not change.

Sounds like it is almost a "done deal" that VMI is leaving the Big South and rejoining the Southern Conference:

the blue bloods at VMI never wanted to leave the SoCon, so as soon as the chance to bolt came about VMI was going to jump. so if VMI, Mercer, and ETSU join that is a ten team football league. The bigger question to me is what if Elon leaves for the CAA? will the SoCon go after Coastal? KK needs to get his arse in gear and be pro-active because i do not see LU going anywhere.

Agreed, we shot ourselves in the foot when we went AAA w/ the FBS conferences (Anyone, anytime, anywhere).

zero chance

[bigsmooth]

stuck in the big south...get used to it. we may have facilities and be FBS ready financially, but we have not been to the football playoffs. that is is biggest thing killing our chances. those big south titles mean nothing.
