I had heard UTA before, but I think that will depend upon Sun Belt football.

I've lobbied for SFA/UTA as a pair before.

I'll take UTA.

Let's get real crazy and go UTA/NMSU

Or UTA/SFA
OR UTA/MSU

UT-A and UALR are doing/have done/have announced they will study adding football to join the SBC as football playing members as well

I can't imagine either one getting pro football results unless they pay for pro football results

I keep thinking it makes sense for CUSA to add UTA and FGCU as basketball only members. It would help both schools in-state recruiting while (especially in the case of FGCU) providing a nice bump up in competition.

UTA loses 7 seniors and a projected first rounder next year. Don’be surprised if they drop like Little Rock.

They might discuss GCU, NMSU, etc. but they’ll never go through with it. It’ll come down to the same schools we’re debating for #12.

Maybe it's time also in light of these new names to update the poll options. Seems to me Mr Schroeder wouldn't name drop without reason to do so. Who knows? Maybe Belmont was just playing it cool and just wanted to see how we'd adjust post-Wichita and now they like what they see and want to join. I say keep it simple: Murray and Belmont and if Belmont says no add NKU.

Give me Arlington. Easy, cheap flights from everywher in the Valley into Dallas for non-revenue sports.

Established 12th year head coach in Scott Cross with an almost .600 winning percentage while taking them from the Southland to the Sun Belt with a quick transition year in the WAC. Only 2 years below .500 in the league (2 7-9 years in the Southland in his first 5). They aren't Little Rock because Cross isn't bolting as soon as he can.

Pair them with NMSU and let's get this done. Apparently there are a bunch of cheap regional airlines to get from Dallas to Las Cruces for non-revenues. Plus going to 12 means that the eastern schools would probably only have to send Volleyball and WBB there every other year.

MBB obviously wouldn't be in divisions but if you split WBB and Volleyball east-west.

Why Arlington/SFA over Murray?

* 29 straight winning seasons
* 2 NCAA wins this decade
* 2 top 25 teams this decade
* History of losing by 1 possession to teams in NCAAs who make title game (Butler) or win it all (Kansas)
* Done over a span of several coaches (Gottfried, Cronin, Kennedy, Prohm)
* Reputation for fans travelling and outnumbering entire OVC combined in Nashville

I would be absolutely shocked if Murray State got left at the altar after how intense the courtship between them and the MVC got last year. The article even took time to mention that Murray State "fel like an MVC Institution" and even had the support of some MVC Coaches. Schools are always going to choose a school closer to their footprint than schools further away especially if that school would be isolated. Plus the further you stray from your footprint the more likely it is that a school gets poached. Murray State is already in at #11. Accept it. Embrace it. It's going to happen. I think it'll be between Belmont NKU and Milwaukee for the 12th spot. Quite frankly, that wouldn't make for a bad 14 team league if they were all on board. For all their warts Milwaukee is rising and would be a great upside addition to gamble on amid multiple quality additions.
