I know the Sun Belt said that they were not looking at adding another school for the 2015 football season but has anyone heard if they are looking at any schools to add for 2016?

Actually, If circumstances don't change from the conference payouts, fewer teams is better. However, I'm not sure what level of advantage there is for the TV contracts with more teams. I just know that Southern would have to earn their championship by playing everyone

According to their fans it doesn't matter one bit. They beat us. We beat them. Case Closed. :roll:

Put me in the camp of dropping Idaho and inviting NMSU for all sports.

You mean another FCS transfer that can finish in the top 3 of the league and beat the day lights out the majority of the league, IE Idaho/NMSU/GSU.

No, let's keep them. Then, we can be like the mighty ACC schools and become bowl eligible. Or we could schedule Presbyterian.

How about we keep Idaho. Don't get all the Vandals hate conference wise? We cannot afford to be cocky over anybody. In '15 teams will be gunning for us. We'll be waiting. Go App!

Not cocky, it's geography.

Cocky- Agreed, App fans have a distinct problem with being humble since 05'.

However Idaho being 2,500 miles away certainly does.
