Sunbelt is too smalltime for JSU. They would be a decent 3rd option, tho.

enrollment matters meaning you have 40k students to throw a fee at yearly to see if it sticks - they don't draw much as a whole but they have the enrollment to boost funding so why not throw darts at the board? If a SWAC school had 40k students you would see the same thing

Tulane and Memphis both have fewer students than Texas State and were still the Pac 12's first choice. Also, at this point people best be figuring how how to run programs without having to rely on student fees because that door is gonna be shut before long too. VA and GA have already reduced the amount students can be charged per semester for athletic fees and it won't be the last time. I mean honestly, having to rely on students that are already over charged for a degree to fund sports most of em don't care about was always a shitty practice.

not an issue in Texas but that's how Texas State has become attractive (location helps) and now UTRGV is doing the same - even if you don't have student fees 40K students means a bigger budget off the top

Also, like I said... basing athletics programs on student fees ain't gonna be the move long term.

Bill in Congress would bar using student fees for athletics

A bill to regulate college sports introduced in the House on Thursday would offer limited antitrust protection for the NCAA, while barring schools from using student fees to pay for college athletic programs.

Pretty much schools that bring NIL in house are going to be dependent on donations and upping tickets prices to finance NIL and players payments.

They can do whatever study they want, it all boils down to what the SEC wants. Look at Memphis.

Also, these conference all doing all of this for money.. that they dont even need but in a few years, the P4 will be the their own thing and all the TV money will pretty much shared equally just like most major sports. It will be up to every team/school to leverage that with outside support.

they could've saved millions if they paid the fee two years earlier and remained independent for the time being

the problem was that they did not have the right people backing the move at that time.

Missouri State and Jacksonville State saw the writing on the wall and moved up before the requirements changed. The winner in this move is the Mountain West conference, since their media deal came back lower than expected and now they can use NDSU conference joining fee to make up for smaller media deal amount.
