FWIW: The SBC must have really wanted Marshall. The SBC Commissioner was in Huntington for press conference and said the SBC waived the $2 million entry fee for Marshall. Grant Traylor @GrantTraylor Sun Belt commissioner Keith Gill confirmed the SBC waived a $2 million entry fee to the conference for Marshall. 11:11 AM · Nov 1, 2021·Twitter for iPhone https://twitter.com/granttraylor/status/14551908063110389...

I love how the northmost team (Marshall) heads south for a new conference while 2 schools south of them (WKU & MTSU) head north. The maddening geography of college football realignment...

Actually wonder if that played into them joining the SBC over the MAC. I am sure it was a factor. Marshall will have to give up $3 million in CUSA revenue for leaving. If the MAC takes WKU and MTSU that gives CUSA only 3 schools. I am not sure what will happen to the $3 million if that happens.

And weirdly the only one who has stuck geographically has been the MAC. They tried the football only thing for further away schools and it failed. The Sun Belt is now pretty tight too, but Marshall would have fit way better with WKU and us than they do with anyone in the Sun Belt.

Maybe the MAC wouldn't give in to T'erd's demand that the next ten MACCGs be played in Huntington. ;) We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I think that I read that the Sunbelt waived all four entry fees.
