Saw the official on MTSU's site. I would imainge that FAU will be right behind.

Will be excited to see the schedule and how it works out.

Should we expect a schedule announcement at the end of these meetings?

Thank Goodness for no Lame Duck Season!

I hope so. That would also mean that the whole realignment thing should be finalized hopefully too?? You can't have schedules if that's still in limbo I would imagine.

You know that scene in LOTR where the Hobbitts are watching the trees have a meeting? It has taken us from 8am-2pm just to get official word that you are joining

I think each school releases the schedule on their own timetable. I expect them to slowly start coming out about Friday.

Unfortunately not. Big East is still gonna need one after Navy joins in 2015. That is if they want to get to 12.

FAU finally announced the move to C-USA in 2013. Will have to pay $700,000 exit fee to leave Sun Belt. http://www.fauowlaccess.com/articles/122...sscom.aspx …

Congrats...I'm headed to the Sunbelt board to watch another meltdown.

It should'nt be too bad. This was a done deal and known to everyone a while ago. The hold up was the final cost and it sounds like that got worked out this morning.

They are ready for us to leave and we are ready to leave them.

I am sad though. The SBC is the only home that FAU has known for Football. It was a good home and place to start.

True it was pretty much a done deal but the announcement will bring out the fans of GaSo, Happy Appy, and Virginia Jesus to pimp their schools once again. Always a good laugh.

Glad they got it worked out, it would of been like living with an ex-girlfriend for a whole 'nother year!

GO OWLS!!

Take a second to reflect and then leave all that business behind you and look ahead to helping raise the profile of the C-USA East Division.

Congrats to FAU and MT.

An excellent suggestion. I firmly believe that Coach Pelini and FAU's AD Pat Chun have altered the trajectory of FAU enough that we will be able to grow and thrive in CUSA.

As long as it doesn't mess with our OOC schedule. 8 division games is fine but 9 is ridiculous.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! (I know it's not official until July 1.) I expect a long and great association with both of you as East Division partners! Can't make it to Murfreesboro, but sure will be in Boca Raton when we come to town!
