It seems like multiple sources are pointing towards UCA moving towards the Atlantic Sun. With many Texas Schools possibly heading to the WAC. I hope UCA explores this opportunity as it could be big for future success of the school in all sports. I thought they may originally have looked at the Ohio Valley Conference, but doesn't look like they got any kind of invite?
The big question..... With everything I am reading...... It looks like the Atlantic Sun Football conference would be D1 FBS with Liberty already being at the FBS level? That would be hugeeeeeee. Can anyone offer their thoughts?
Liberty plays football as an independent. UCA is not jumping to FBS anytime soon.
The A-Sun has a deal with the Big South to let it's FCS football playing members have an associate membership with the Big South. If UCA and UCA only join the A-Sun, then we would play in the Big South next year in football and the A-Sun for every other sport.
However, the A-Sun is wanting to start a football league, but if they are courting Jax St., EKU and UCA, then the league will play football in the FCS.
