Most folks believe Valdosta and West Florida are next to make the jump, leaving Delta St, Mississippi College and West Alabama. GAC and LSC would make the most sense from a geographical standpoint. I think all 3 are too far to join the SAC.

Trevecca nazarene to the gsc. Official

It's always made geographic sense, and it's finally happening: Trevecca Nazarene is leaving the GMAC for the GSC next year. https://gscsports.org/news/2023/9/14...onference.aspx

GAC would make the most sense, except I don't know if they're interested in expanding outside of their existing Arkansas/Oklahoma footprint. Although, as I recall, weren't most of the Arkansas GAC schools part of the GSC before they left to form the GAC.

Who are "most folks", and are they just spitballing, or are these beliefs based on anything substantial?

Social media folks, others around the block i know. Matt Brown has mentioned it before, but that was last spring I think. when I was in Pensacola this summer on campus at UWF for the day there was a few people who I talked to while visiting that seemed to think it was inevitable those 3 make the jump at some point.

Another name change (just found)

Westminster College is now Westminster University. It was announced in September 2022 that the new name would take effect at the start of the 2023-24 academic year.

As I understand it, it'd be somewhere between the two: each conference's highest-ranked team would be guaranteed a spot, not necessarily the champion.
