Is UNA turning into SEC Div II?

 

[doemasters]

sure looks that way, i believe he is getting ready for division 1

 

[planomateo]

what is UNA's policy on weed still not sure why he doesn't go supplemental draft like Pryor...he is good enough.

gonna be interesting to see how some of the div II schools can complete when they go div I. http://www.una.edu/division1/

apparently I missed this news from a week ago...UNA trustees approved move to Div I.

missed that too.You have to wonder from TB's comments about talking to UF if he was trying to convince himself or his bosses/fans that this kid is OK. If he deserved a second chance, then why did UF not give it to him? I think the answer is obvious.

Maybe the difference is with how one coach disciplines vs the other - Muschamp vs Urban? I'd be willing to bet that Urban would have kept him on the team.

Didn't this kid get a do-over on his second chance in Gainesville?

What does North Alabama have to offer this kid? He won't prove himself as a football player there. Won't get better coaching. And will only add a year to the time since he got either.

There's a time line involved here...one of the requirements of Div. 1 standing has to do with capacity in the stadium and it's either UNA, USA, or both that have to expand. More scholly's, etc., sure.

There's also about a five year window to get all the ducks in a row...in this case, get to the level of say Troy when they can play some of the big boys and get those 500K+ checks for the beat downs.
