Before you start reading, I promise that this piece is significantly shorter than the first one. It is merely an update to some new information. That information? The Davidson College Wildcats are likely to join the Atlantic 10 Conference. The Wildcats were what kept the idea of the Southern Conference alive. The league knew that even with the loss of football powers Appalachian State University and Georgia Southern University it could build a basketball core around Davidson. That, my friends, is now impossible.

The Elon University baseball team was in a familiar spot.

For the first time all season, junior center fielder Sebastian Gomez hit in the leadoff spot. While any leadoff hitter’s job is to get on base, Gomez went the extra mile by slapping a home run to center field for the first of 14 Elon runs in a 14-3 win on Sunday afternoon.

It finally happened. The nonsensical breakup and rebirth of the Big East Conference has had a trickle down effect that now has affected the Southern Conference and Elon University. While you were away lying on a beach, sleeping, or doing whatever else college students do on spring break, two of Elon’s fellow Southern Conference schools made a major decision. Appalachian State University and Georgia Southern University will be leaving the SoCon after the 2013-2014 academic year in favor of the Sun Belt Conference. Why would they do this? Don’t they know that Boone, N.C. to Elon is a much shorter trip than Boone to Monroe, La. (where Sun Belt member University of Louisiana at Monroe is located)?
