Re: Socon logo
I noticed that too. I don't think it was ever stitched into the turf. It was painted on. I guess, since we aren't competing for an official SoCon championship, there is no need to have it out there.

Re: Socon logo
There were MANY home games in the past few years where the logo was in danger of fading into the turf... Glad we didn't spend the money on perma-logos there...

Re: Socon logo
What was premature? the announcement that ASU was going to the Sun Belt? not painting the SoCon logo on the field? the PSA on the video board? not having the SoCon logo on the jersey?JCline0429 wrote:I understand all the reasons, but I think it was a bit pre-mature.

Re: Socon logo
BTW, I didn't see that we had a Sunbelt logo either on the field.
I did notice that UNCC did have the CUSA logo but in outline form only.
I didn't know who creates the rules concerning that type stuff the NCAA, the Conference, or the University.

Re: Socon logo
I think the SoCon logo is still there, but it's really faded. Dduring the summer, I couldn't see it from certain angles. No need to change it now. Just paint the parts that aren't covered up by the Sun Belt logo next summer.
The good thing about the Sun Belt is that they cover the costs of adding their logos.
The Holmes Center is getting a brand new court next summer since the current one has been sanded down to its limit. Everything else logo-wise are simple fixes.
As for Charlotte, putting the C-USA logo on the field kills two birds with one stone. Don't blame them at all for it.

The SoCon paid for logos in Holmes, I seem to recall. I could be quite mis-remembering.T-Dog wrote:I think the SoCon logo is still there, but it's really faded.

Re: Socon logo
Wasn't blaming, but I was thinking they were officially an independent FBS team this year and I was wondering if that's why they only had an outline and next year they would fill it in. I just remember ECU's being solid.T-Dog wrote:

Was expecting to see either a Sunbelt or SoCon at KBS, but maybe the SoCon was there just needed painting.

Re: Socon logo
Not sure there was a choice, Cline. We can't win the SoCon, so we're effectively not in the SoCon for football. Why put the name of a conference on the field that we're not in?

Isn't UNCC a year behind us in the transition, or will they be full FBS in 2015?Maddog1956 wrote:Wasn't blaming, but I was thinking they were officially an independent FBS team this year and I was wondering if that's why they only had an outline and next year they would fill it in.

I thought they were even with us but not according to this.ASUMountaineer wrote:

The team will play their first full season in the fall of 2013 as an FCS Independent.[20] On May 4, 2012 Charlotte agreed to rejoin Conference USA for all sports except football in 2013, with football joining in 2015 (the first year the 49ers would be eligible due to the NCAA requirement that start-up programs play a minimum of two years in FCS).[21] Charlotte will move to the FBS in 2015 and will become FBS bowl eligible in 2016.

They are also an FCS independent, not FBS as I said before.
