    Glad for UTSA... attended that school last year, they have some competitive sports there. Southland conference sucks ass... and then they're also getting a football team next year, so they'll have that.

    That means Denver will be leaving the Sun Belt, which sucks anyway. I wonder who they'll get for a replacement. hahaha

    Nope. They were Division I already. University of Denver (why do they abbreviate it DU?) doesn't play football. Most of their other sports have been playing in the Sunbelt. So they're just switching conferences.

    Texas State is DI in all sports. Their football team is just transitioning from FCS to FBS. Likewise, UTSA is DI in all sports and is just beginning their football program.
