Every conference wants a toehold in Texas but doubt the Sun Belt was benefiting from that too much. At most, they could have recruits show up for Texas State games when the team recruiting them was playing.
People sometimes say the Sun Belt should get one of the Florida teams to have an entry point into that state's talent pool, but FIU and FAU are a bunch of extra travel for questionable benefit. If they really want to expand, Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, and Liberty are the only real prospects that make some sense. East Carolina would be nice but it's too soon for that to be a possibility.
With this realignment, the Big Ten, the Sun Belt, and the MAC will be the only FBS conferences without a member in Texas.
