No clue as to the rumor, but if true I hope it is Kennesaw. The privates will not like it, but it would be nice to get some state institutions. I have a feeling they will vote in Mercer(I have read the rumors) just to make the private institutions happy. God forbid High Point is even brought up as a potential candidate. I would love to get blown away by a set of schools the have yet to even cross these boards as a possible school.

Its been out for awhile that GSU and App St are leaving. Hell thats one of the reasons App fired Moore well actually he "retired". That is not good news for WCU. With CofC leaving that would leave just WCU and UNCG as only public schools in the SoCon (not counting UTC cause they do not play all sports). Instead of worrying about who the new members will be WCU should be looking to move too. The moves are going to effect the 2 best SoCon sports baseball and football. Football loses the 2 best football programs in the conference which actually would help WCU but not the conference. Baseball losing CofC, GSU, and App St will most likely drop the SoCon down around the Big South. It will still be a very solid league but highly unlikely to be a 3 bid league. below is article in Chattanooga Times SoCon set to 'get specific' on additions |

From the SoCon board:
"It's all from the mouth of the GSU AD. Apparently Richmond approached for affiliate membership and UNCW has approached for full membership"
Richmond would be a good football addition, and UNCW would be a nice replacement for Charleston.
