I'm thrilled that things seem secure....if only for a moment.

I hope that McMurry and Shreiner had to sign an agreement to remain in the ASC for X amount of time.  Be it 2 years..4 years....whatever.

The ASC cannot stand pat.  We are still on the cusp of being exactly where we were before this.  We need to go hard core after Hendrix, Lyon, Centenary and even Belhaven if they will come  I can't imagine them being thrilled with the travel of the USA South.  I'd even reach out to Louisiana College....even though they seem content with the success they have had in the NAIA.

I know A&M Texarkana has expressed interest in D2....but I'd reach out to them as well.  Same with Wayland Baptist. Nelson University, Texas Wesleyan.  Heck....even Sul Ross.  Anyone that will listen....

Also......

The Baptist Four got caught with their pants down.  If they are wise.... they are building towards the POSSIBILITY that this could all crash and burn and put them right back where they were before.

If that means NAIA or D2 or FCS....whatever.... they need an exit strategy.

Maybe this timeline will help all four secure their futures in....or outside of the ASC and D3.

Don't get caught unawares again.

Clearly everyone else has back up plans...... so should we.

I have a feeling this is a temporary band-aid.  Not a long term solution.
