Apparently JSU is no longer eligible to compete for the conference championship.

That is the direct opposite of what the Asun has said since the beginning.

Why not it’s simply to say we’re the best team in the conference. The runner up would get the AQ Besides we didn’t make the rule the conference went out of its way to make it so. Besides if we’d lost last week we wouldn’t be discussing this there’d be no reason to disqualify us.

Don't really care. If we have the best league record we can put that in our record book.
I agree the timing seems odd. Is Sammy eligible to win the WAC?

Not a fair situation and the title would mean zero. The ASUN made a bad decision in announcing JSU would be eligible for the title and has corrected the decision. I do believe JSU should be eligible for the title in all of the other sports as we will all be playing under the same rules.

What are the different rules that JSU is playing with? We have more scholarships.

Don't really care. If we have the best league record we can put that in our record book. I agree the timing seems odd. I agree totally. Going out with a conference championship would've been nice, but ultimately, it's meaningless. I think most all of us would agree it would mean just as much to go out undefeated in our final year. If the team does go undefeated, whether overall or just in conference play, there's nothing preventing Jax State from giving them rings commemorating that achievement. Didn't we do something similar during the APR year in 2009? It wouldn't say, "ASUN Champions" on it... but it could say "11-0" or "5-0 ASUN" or whatever. Just make it clear to the guys RIGHT NOW that they need to earn that ring. They don't get one for going 6-5 or 3-2. Rings aside, I said this on Facebook, and I'll say it here: If the team does "win" the conference, our trophy is going to be the asterisk forever emblazoned next to the name of the "ASUN Champion": 2022 ASUN Champions Kennesaw State*
*Jacksonville State was 5-0 in conference play, but was ineligible due to transitioning to FBS
No. Kudos to the WAC, though. They made that clear from the start. Had the ASUN done the same, it's safe to say most of us wouldn't have an issue with what they just did. Basically, the ASUN was cool with the Gamecocks being "eligible for the conference title" when everyone thought we were a solid 3rd place team. Then they watched the SFA game.

I should add... in no way am I jinxing the Gamecocks. An undefeated season -- in or out of conference -- would still be one heck of an accomplishment and is in no way guaranteed.
The ring and/or asterisk trophy would only come into play if they earn it.
If the team falls short, then we wouldn't have gotten rings or a trophy anyway.
And the only bulletin board material for other teams is me declaring Kennesaw State the champs in our stead. So Colonels, Govs, Lions, and Bears, if you're offended by it, by all means, kick KSU's hooter arse.

Would there be some legal issue with claiming a "conference title" if Gumball doesn't recognize it?
