UNCC wants to play Southern Conf. football

[elcid83]

Apparently Charlotte [UNC-C] is seeking a football only membership in the Southern Conference. I cannot imagine that this happens as their football bracket is extremely strong. I would love to see them join the Big South as a football only team for 4 years or so as they plan to make their move to FBS [although, I think it will quite a bit longer to be FCS ready].

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

Both the SOCON and Big South have turned them down flat. UNCC is pushing for CAA membership now. It might not be a bad move for them to go for full membership and leave the A-10, even though they want to go full FBS football within three years.
