Now you have a more expensive team to maintain with the cost of attendance and extra scholarships. I think Southern and Appy State (as well as the rest of the Sunbelt) should consider dropping back to FCS. There isn't a way for them to get the revenues to compete with the power 5 and there will be a lot of uninteresting games.
I think Georgia Southern and Apalachian State will make it in the Sunbelt. I think they'll be 1st and 2nd in the Sunbelt this season.
