That seems to be the case. That gives the SWAC 11 members. The rumor I have seen is Tennessee State would join them to make an even dozen.
Which would be great. Nothing against TSU, I just don’t like their Homer Plessey schedule where they only play seven league games. So I will be glad to see them go.
So what does the OVC do? My first call would be to Kennesaw State. They would be a bit of an outlier for everyone but us. But they do get the league into a major market, which would be a boost after losing Nashville.
They would also get to have everything in one league and not the BS/A-Sun hybrid.
My next call would be Chattanooga. I doubt they would come, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. It doesn’t really stretch the footprint and gets the league in a good sized city. Plus there are other schools in the league that would be happy to have them as a conference rival.
But I don’t see them leaving the SoCon for the OVC. The SoCon isn’t what it once was but it is probably still a better brand.
Then I would look at UNA. But I don’t know how much longer they are committed to the conference they are in and we would need someone for 2021.
But I see the league going for Western Illinois since they really need a bigger presence in that state. Either that or another non-football.
