With Coastal officially headed to the sun belt and Liberty soon to be gone. There are a lot of rumors swirling around about what is next. Early reports are suggesting the first move from the BSC is to revoke the conference championships that Coastal was scheduled to host this year. Any thoughts?

Some thoughts:
- The leadership of the BSC, namely the head clod Kallander, bent over backwards to try and keep CCU around, by giving them carte blanche, and it still didn't work. Let CCU host the men's hoops tourney and lose on their home court for a grand finale, but pull the rest of the postseason tournaments scheduled there.
- LU still has the Falwell stigma that they have to fight through. 9 of 11 schools had to approve CCU as a member of the Sun Belt. LU likely wouldn't have the votes. They'll eventually catch a break and leave. Why they haven't at least moved to the CAA by now is an oddity. They have better resouces already in place than CCU has...some of their fans want them to go FBS independent, but IMHO that wouldn't be the wisest move.
- Logical choices for the BSC to bring in would include North Alabama and West Georgia. Kennesaw State should be brought in as a full member, but I doubt they stay long with the market they are in. USC-Upstate should be pursued as well, to fill the SC void, and they would be a dandy close rival for not only us, but WU and UNCA as well.
