In February 2021, ASUN Commissioner announced the addition of football to the conference and the addition of three new teams. Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky, and Jacksonville State were heading for the Sun in 2021, with Kennesaw State and North Alabama joining in the 2022 season. The alliance between the ASUN and WAC, known as the ASUN-WAC Challenge (AQ7) will allow one team an automatic qualifying bid. I breakdown the three teams in the ASUN and provide insight to the big questions looming for the 2021 campaign and give a final grade assessment for each position.
