I saw this. Coastal is a solid football squad and should transition to the conference quite smoothly. I was surprised with their average attendance and seating capacity it was even allowed but it shows just how pointless the whole minimum attendance requirement really is. Its a big loss for the Big South and questions of whether that conference will be able to continue are in serious doubt. They will be down to only 6 members and I'd have to think that Liberty will be looking to escape the sinking ship while they still have a product FCS conferences would want.
