Too bad we can’t “blow the whole thing up” and start over. It’s a shame the southern FCS teams, or at least ones in a ~300 mile radius of Florence, are scattered in several different conferences. I’m not necessarily excited about playing the Campbells and Gardner Webbs of the world, but at least we have pretty good flexibility with the non-conference schedule. That’s the biggest positive about the Big South, IMO.
I actually wouldn’t mind the conference being down a little this year. Not saying we need it to be, but anything that helps us pick up wins and gain some recruiting momentum is a good thing.

Football only conferences. We could have this, UNA JSU A&M BAMA STATE SAMFORD CHATTANOOGA ETSU TENN ST UT MARTIN TENN TECH AP KSU MERCER WEST FLORIDA***(IF THEY MOVE UP) A 14 team divisional league, with championship. I think it would work if they had football only conferences. We would still be in the ASun, A&M and BState would still be in the SWAC, and so on.

It’ll be interesting to see where we stand in the conference this season. Right now I think we finish up around 4th but I’m really not sure what to expect from Charleston, Presbyterian, and Gardner Webb. Would be cool to see us win the conference soon. Hope the coaches use that as motivation because obviously we can’t make playoffs.

I remember coach Willis saying that if they statistically win the conference any year during the transition, he will make sure they get rings.
