I searched our conference for any mention of their football team beating Western Illinois but there was nothing. Maybe the pig south gave us a little congrats since it made their conference look better. Nope. For these two conferences turning our football program into a ghost ship, I hope we don't feel one bit of loyalty to either one if something better pops up.

Are you saying that the ASUN should report on how North Alabama and also Kennesaw State football teams are doing after every game, since the ASUN is the main Conference.

I hate to sound like I'm jumping you, but I have to stop you on this one... Look at the Big South Website, they already have pur highlights from the game, they were sharing stuff about UNA on social media all through the game as well. We played a Thursday game and today is Saturday, not even the FCS media outlets have done much and will not do much until after today. Be a little more patient. As for loyalty, no, we dont have to be loyal to the Big South, but the ASun, I say yes, yes we should. And I keep in semi regular contact wit Ted Gumbart (Commissioner) and dont think for a second that he is not wanting to keep UNA in the conference, he has bent over backwards to accommodate our situation from the beginning. And he has a great set of plans for the conference moving forward. The only thing I wish was different is how the ASUN-Big South football deal is done. I wish it would be an independent from either conference football association. And renamed to fit both conferences. (I also wish Jacksonville(not state) and Stetson would grow a pair, get scholarship football and join in. Bellarmine even has Hope's to add football in the future. Sorry for the extra... |

Brandon,
In the Big South Strategic Plan around 10 years ago there was an mention of an separate Football Conference similar to the MVFC, then around 6 years ago when they updated their Strategic Plan the separate Conference was taken out.
I wonder Why!

I think Cat just got himself a little confused. You know our website says ASUN a lot but rarely mentions Big South. Heck even the wallpaper behind the coaches and players at the auction dinner had ASUN and nothing on Big South. I even had a coach say it...football isn’t really ASUN we are Big South. Wonder if we still play in Big South conference by time we keep impressing in D1 in all sports? We may become eligible and some other conference come knocking? This stuff seems very fluid nowadays...maybe we are there awhile? Who knows? |
