The SunBelt won't be around too much longer. Once superconferences form we will probably be on the outside looking in unless MWC/C-USA gets raided and we somehow get in. Some act like it would be a shoe in , but the likes of La Tech,Troy,WKU,UTSA all have a shot.
If the Belt is raided it will not be able to survive unless it does somekind of merger w / the MAC or WAC. While every other conference commish sees this and is being proactive , our commish has done nothing. He pretty much retired a long time ago.
Say what you want about Benson , but the man sees what is about to happen. Only way to survive is to get as many teams as you can into your conference. The days of 10 to 12 teams per conference will soon be a thing of the past.
Take Seattle out and I'm all in for the WAC. It's bound to eventually happen unless the new MWC/CUSA gives us a look see.
