"The State of Texas and Florida are very important for the future of the Sunbelt. Whether it's retaining existing members that currently reside in those states or adding new schools from either or both states. That is still a priority," said Benson.

As for UTSA and any other school that could be eyeing the Sunbelt, Benson did give an idea of when things could possibly unfold, "June first is a realistic date to have the plan executed."

One final tidbit that Benson added was to address more speculation about the Sunbelt and his former conference the WAC, possibly joining forces, "There have been no discussions on a Sunbelt/WAC merger."

Good to know that he can. Was that a requirement for the job?

If we leave to a different conference, how long will it take for Benson calling to ask us if we want to join the Sun-Belt?
