I voted to stick with the current course but I’m not really sure that’s the best option. I’d almost vote for joining UWG in the OVC at this point and call it a day. I absolutely hate the uncertainty of it all.
I think the AWFC’s proposed leap to FBS sounds interesting but UNA doesn’t seem to be moving fast enough towards that goal. Until a stadium project (either new or overhaul Braly) is announced, I’m highly skeptical.

I'm gonna vote for partnering with EKU to get into the SoCon. I reserve the right to change my mind later, haha.
I'm just not convinced the FBS move will even happen, and if it does, whether UNA is prepared to be anything more than a bottom feeder for a long time to come.
If it DOES work and we move to FBS, along with announcing plans for a new stadium... cool. The stadium would certainly make me more optimistic. Playing in Braly? No. Just no.

Went with first option. Bird in the hand so to speak.

I'm going with option 1 in a perfect world...
If it goes FBS, so be it, we are surrounded by schools we look at ad peers, mostly. If it doesn't, that's good too, then we can keep growing as an FCS conference. Then maybe UWG, VSU and UWF would be major ASUN targets. (Love to see all three join now....)

Feel some loyalty to the ASUN the conference that provided UNA the opportunity for D1. If ASUN needs us to help grow and ASUN does have a viable way to grow….let’s stay. Would hate to leave and look in two years and go wow….we were almost part of all of that. ASUN would give us a Bowl opportunity, basketball teams win tourney they are going dancing, same for baseball & softball. Golf is competing at very high level, volleyball appears to be trending right direction. ASUN provides a lot for our student athletes and fans.

Just to clarify, all the options have been on my mind. And see good and bad in all of them... (except D2... shouldn't want to go backL
