Hi, first time poster here, and UNA fan...
What we have been told, and what I know the ASUN is trying to do, after several conversations with various people in the inner works(what they would tell me)
The ASUN wants to have football soon.
The ASUN presidents have agreed to expand to 14.
There will be NO splitting the conference.
Until there is enough schools with football, UCA, JSU, and EKU will play in the Big South. The Big South football will have 12 members, I'm being told that they are looking at having 2 divisions (ASUN schools plus one) in one division the rest in the other. There is nothing concrete on that though.
The ASUN will also look at some schools for possible football only memberships. Per ASUN commissioner.
If this does actually happen, the ASUN will have a very strong FCS conference consists of UCA, EKU, JSU, KSU and UNA... dont know who else will eventually be involved.
As for non football, they seem to want a divisional conference. Have 6-7 school divisions
North Liberty, EKU, Bellarmine, UCA, Lipscomb, North Alabama
South JSU, KSU, North Florida, Jacksonville, Stetson, and FGCU...
Other schools I have heard mentioned as possibilities are
Chattanooga, SLU, Northwestern St, Nicholls, Mcneese and West Florida.
