So you have the weakest football conference deciding to shrink it's geographic footprint and overall membership in an attempt to boost revenue on a per-team basis, but what if realignment does happen? Suddenly the Sun Belt would lose more of its best teams and have to scramble into FCS to fill the gap, lest they fall further into oblivion as an eight-team conference.

I am glad to finally see someone call the Sun Belt and their Commissioner out for being poorly organized and poorly managed. They had the magic #12 and still did not hold a "best record at home" Conference Championship game. I thought at the time they were crazy. That game would have been on TV and made money. So, the solution to being surpassed by the MAC was to not have a CG and to shrink to ten teams. :conf2: As one Idaho fan correctly said, "he sucked as WAC Commish and he sucks as SB Commish." Well Said.
Personally I don't think anyone in SB should be in the FBS, but that is another topic. It looks as if the SB is fast approaching FCS again.
