There are rumors that the Mountain West Conference could call it quits.
I think there's a real chance the Sun Belt has a chance to pick up some of the remaining MWC schools like New Mexico, Colorado State, or Wyoming (the schools that KIND OF makes sense geographically).
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Congrats - Bowl Eligible
Brett McMurphy has us in Cure Bowl vs. Liberty this morning. I hope he's right about the bowl, but wrong about the team. I'd almost take any other bowl just to not play Liberty. No way! Id love to hand another undefeated team their first loss! We could beat 2 top 25 teams in one season, have a 10 w...

Sun Belt Attendance
I don't normally follow this, but Sun Belt holds 2 of the top 5 slots for best G5 attendance. 2 of the teams are Mountain West teams and Army made the list (I think attendance is required at their games). The AAC did not make the top 5 at all. https://www.yosefscabin.com/forum/download/file.php?mode...

Re: 10 FCS teams looking to move to FBS
Random thoughts: Conference USA is currently a mess. I don't think this is a good climate for a new "big boy" conference. Maybe UMass and UConn will finally find a conference for football. I'm interested in seeing NC A&T's name gets brought up. They are an interesting program. HBCU with some recent ...

Re: Little Rock to the OVC
Another step closer...
I think UTA wants to join the Missouri Valley but there's a good chance they end up in the Southland and an outside chance at the WAC.

Re: Troy Discussion
Coastal now has a 2nd conference loss. We’ve beat Coastal and Georgia State and we have a better overall record. The rest of the teams in our division have more than 2 conference losses.
So if we lose this game and beat Southern at home the next week we still win the division right?

Re: Georgia Southern close to hiring Clay Helton as head coach
Jerry Moore was a bad hire on the surface at the time. That one worked out. He hasn’t been on the east coast in a number of years. He doesn’t have the needed experience recruiting at the G5 level. He’s a retread. If I was a Southern fan I would want to see a young up and comer with a plan to recruit...

This might be how we can get rid of UTA and Little Rock.

Re: SoMiss/ODU/Marsh/JMU announcements
The AAC really only looked at 2 things when picking members. 1st, how big is your media market. 2nd, how good are the high school players in your state. Georgia State should have been towards the top of their list. They are in Atlanta and Georgia high school football is really good. Georgia State di...
