I've said this since I competed there. Football would be a step down in competition but everything else would be about even in the southland honestly, plus youd get the added benefit of more local rivalries to help attendance. Even if it was just temporary (~10-15 years) to build momentum and then move back up.

Berry has already said he's against moving down. They want to continue momentum forward and do what they can to get ULM up to speed with the rest of the Sun Belt. Moving down would admit failure and be a "slap in the face" to those who worked so hard to get ULM to where they are.

This is what was said when asked about athletics in his interview FWIW.

He's right. Going down would do them no good, because to be honest, they dont have upper tier FBS budget or facilities.

They showed a few years ago that they could get a roster together to make some noise in the Sun Belt, and if they could get some defensive talent, they could make a run at App State from time to time.

There's not reason that they shouldnt be playing in bowl games at least every other year except money and talent. It's his job to get more money and I hope he does well.

With that said, I'm looking forward to the Dawgs kicking the ever loving crap out of the University of Lower Mentality Chickenhawks on November 21st.
