There could be a couple big announcements this week. ASU & GSU to the Sun Belt.
@apptrailwsj: Appalachian State will accept an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference this week, probably on Wednesday, according to a source at ASU
Georgia Southern also could accept a Sun Belt invite. They have a news conference scheduled for 9am on Wednesday.

We knew it was coming. The SoCon needs to move now, before the CAA moves on Elon or other SoCon members.

The important thing is when is this effective? this July or next July. If it's this year, the SoCon is in a jam.

From Yosef's Cabin... "According to the most impeccable of App sources, Tommy Bowman, the school will accept an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference starting in the 2014 athletic season along with Georgia Southern. The officially announcement should come Wednesday as Georgia Southern has theirs scheduled that day as well for 9 am." www.yosefscabin.com/app-state-to-join-the-sun-belt-in-2014/

So who does the SoCon get to replace ASU and GA Southern? Coastal Carolina, Mars Hills, or someone else? The SoCon need to be smart about whomever it is.

ETSU, KSU, VMI, Mercer, Coastal Carolina, and invite Richmond (football), UNCW, and William & Mary.
That's a good starting place.

GLAD, GLAD, GLAD they are leaving! Why so now SoCon Football and Baseball can be as bad as the rest of the SoCon Sports? Seriously think about it Currently SoCon Football is what one of the top 2 or 3 conferences in FCS? Now lost the 2 biggest football programs Currently SoCon baseball is a top 7-8 conference and one of the top mid major conferences. Now lost 3 of the top 5 or 6 baseball programs in the league. SoCon has been regularly putting 2 teams into Regionals and 3 some years. That will now change. The league will now be similar to the Big South but without a marquee team like Coastal Carolina. And it is very very hard for the Big South to get more than one team in.
