Since there is no official name for it, this is what I titled this thread.

I'm hearing rumors that there is workings on a bowl game in Huntsville at the renovated Joe Davis Stadium for the league if FBS happens.
The preliminary name is the Cherry Blossom Bowl.

I know it's not news, and that's what the thread is called. So if it's a problem I'll take it down.
But I woke up this morning craving an A&W root beer.
Then it hit me, the Atlantic Western Football Conference presented by A&W root beer...
LOL.... I love it...

That would actually be a good name for the football only conference.

Not to give anyone of the western brethren any ideas but I can see them suggesting the Western Atlantic Conference. WAC.....sorry 'bout that.

Matt Roan (EKU AD) was interviewed on Hero Sports podcast. He was asked about the ASUN/WAC football thing, FCS and FBS questions...
Sounds like we are happy with the 10 come FCS or FBS...

A rumor on CSNbbs is that CUSA visited Tarleton State last week.

Tarleton obviously wants to be FBS, and fast. Their stadium is already practically FBS in size.
If any of this made any sense, you could have the Texas WAC schools join up with New Mexico State and UTEP to form a new “Southwest Conference”. You’d have NMSU, UTEP, Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, Abilene Christian, Tarleton, and I guess Louisiana Tech to make 8. Southern Utah and Utah Tech probably don’t want and don’t need to be FBS, but you could always leave the door open for them if they wanted. Not sure what UTRGV would do, but they’d probably eventually move up and join all the rest.
Then you could have an entirely southeast focused CUSA with the existing WKU, MTSU, JSU, KSU, and FIU taking the ASUN 4. Now, would the egos of those teams keep them from inviting us up? Probably. But it would sure make more sense geographically. Who wants a road game in Las Cruces, New Mexico? That version of CUSA could play some entertaining football and might not even be a bad basketball league.
None of that will probably happen, but on March 16, 2023, that’s how I’d draw it up if all these teams are truly hellbent on FBS. Not sure WE should do it, but at least that conference would be a perfect fit for us.
