We are probably the #6 team...great. If and when it rains it pours!!!! We get no respect still. The six teams in not any order unfortunately are:

#1 Us
#2 JMU
#3 ?
#4 ?
#5 ?
#6 ?

Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky are likely on there as well. I'm sure JMU is on that list, but I highly doubt they would accept anything to the SunBelt. I think several SunBelt Presidents will block a Jax State invite and Eastern Kentucky is in one of the poorest parts of the country.

We might not be their favorite option, but we might be their only option.

I believe, and I definitely don't know this for sure, that Missouri State's attendance numbers are holding them back. And doesn't Lamar have financial problems?

They shou;d hold them back but frankly don't in this discussion. The thing holding them back is the JMU Factor and their hoops being a traditional strength in the MVC.

There are minimum standards that the NCAA has never enforced of 15k per home game average at last twice in a 3-year span. But it is really not a significant factor as far as realignment is concerned. Missouri State does in fact average between 8- to 9-thousand in attendance every year. But Sun Belt folks would happily overlook that problem in exchange for access to MSU hoops.

It will be anyone and everyone but us, I know benson mentioned someone it going to be invited after the Louisiana vs S. Alabama basketball game. Keep dreaming fellow flames nation, we'll get invited to the FBS one day. It won't be this time, just be patient, we are the last resort. Benson is using our name in the media to coerce everyone else to make a decision.

How evil will it be when people realize I'm right? It's an evil quandary for sure. Am I stirring the pot and you want to reject what I say out of hand. Or am I trying to get the jump on SOME people **cough cough SLY cough cough** who always say they have info but can't tell us.

So if Sly comes on here and says he knows something but can't tell us what it is and we will find out soon then we should all be smiling from ear to ear?! :)

If you read some of the comments made this evening on the Sun Belt boards, it sounds like many of them believe we are about to be added. That being said, we heard it first from Purple! :clapping
