Great Story. They will be an independent next season. I think they could have viable in the Sun Belt - the being tied to Idaho was such a geography problem. They had a great following at the bowl.
The SunBelt decided to bring in Appalachian St for football.
Boone, NC is a great college town and ASU has great support in football in the local community and within the student body because of past success.
Once the SunBelt moved in the Carolinas and Georgia it was over for the Western schools in the conference.
Now the conference is made up of exclusively Southern schools from Texas to Carolina.
A lot of these schools want to move up to CUSA.
The stepping ladder is SunBelt, CUSA, AAC and branches off to the ACC, SEC and Big XII.
New Mexico St wished to be in the MWC.
Maybe the conference will take UTEP and NMSU.
UTEP belongs with Western schools and not Southern schools because of its location in Texas.
As UTEP is out of place in CUSA.
