Donāt know if you guys saw the Appy ADās response to being passed by on conference realignment. There is a lot of mention in the media markets. Here is all I have to say:
Appalachian State, Boone, NC - Population: 17,186
Louisiana Tech, Ruston (where?), LA - Population: 20,546
Was already being FBS the big difference maker here? Location perhaps? Or is it really all about the media market.
