(STATS) -- Innovative thinking continues to be an integral part of FCS football as it tries to remain strong across the ever-changing landscape of college athletics.While fighting for relevancy in the subdivision, the Big South Conference has turned to a conference that doesnt sponsor football to establish a unique member partnership.Under the arrangement, announced Tuesday, current or future Atlantic Sun Conference scholarship-football members within the geographic footprint of the Big South will automatically be admitted to the conference as associate football members.With Coastal Carolina leaving this year for the Sun Belt on the FBS level, the Big South has dropped to six football programs -- the FCS low and the NCAA minimum for a conference to have its champion automatically qualify for the 24-team national playoffs. There are four full-time members in Charleston Southern, Gardner-Webb, Liberty and Presbyterian, and two associate members in Kennesaw State and Monmouth.But the two-conference partnership provides a guaranteed home for Kennesaw State, an Atlantic Sun member in other sports, and a potential guaranteed home for other football programs, including Atlantic Sun members Jacksonville and Stetson and Big South member Campbell. Those three play on the FCS level in the non-scholarship Pioneer Football League, and each program would join Big South football should it move to the scholarship level.Were excited about it for a couple of reasons, Big South commissioner Kyle Kallander said. Number one, it can certainly enhance Big South football from a membership perspective. Weve had an awful lot of success in the Big South and the 15 years weve been playing FCS football. Entering into a creative partnership like this can really continue that success and growth of the Big South. Certainly it helps the Atlantic Sun in what theyre trying to do with their membership.The other reason Im excited about it is I really think collaboration is important, especially in this day and age in Division I. All the challenges that we have, whether its conference realignment or financial challenges, scheduling, travel, all those kinds of things, I think its going to be very really important moving forward that everybody takes a look at how can we work together rather than just working on our own.The agreement doesnt change the conference name as the football teams will play under the banner of the Big South. The conference, which spans the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, was formed in 1983, but didnt sponsor football until 2002. Liberty is the conferences long-time remaining power and Charleston Southern is the defending champion. Pro Bowlers Justin Bethel, Josh Norman and Mike Tolbert are among 12 former Big South players on NFL rosters to begin the 2016 season.We have really good football teams in our league and weve started to get a little bit of a national footprint, Presbyterian coach Harold Nichols said, so I would think that would be pretty inviting to teams to be able to come and be a part of that.Schools in the 10-member Big South that dont sponsor football are High Point, Longwood, Radford, North Carolina-Asheville and Winthrop.Two ASUN members, North Florida and Florida Gulf Coast, have conducted feasibility studies for the addition of football, but have no immediate plans for starting programs. ASUN members Lipscomb, New Jersey Institute of Technology and South Carolina Upstate also dont sponsor football.The Big South has received multiple postseason berths, earned multiple postseason wins and had many postseason hosting opportunities for its football members, ASUN commissioner Ted Gumbart said. We plan to contribute strongly and significantly to the continued growth of our joint football league and look forward to enhancing the winning tradition of Big South football.I think there will be (change), Kallander said, but Im not suggesting any is going to be imminent.

The Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Season 2 League Play kicked off this Saturday with the North American teams setting the pace for the action to come.Match One: Exodus versus DeceptionExodus came into this kick-off match as the very heavy favorites. Deception made this a surprisingly close set with games 1, 2 and 3 all going to overtime and Deception coming out 2-1 ahead. Exodus grew into the series taking games 4 and 5 to grab the set 3-2 and move to a good start to season 2.Exodus needs to struggle to return to the worlds elite. Deception on the other hand simply needs to go for top six for regional qualification, and a result like this shows how close they are. A slight bit of improvement could see Deception move into a higher group that could be near the very top.Match Two: Deception versus VendettaDeception and Vendetta are possibly two of the most evenly matched teams in all of Rocket League but in the early stages didnt look to show it. Games 1 and 2 were dominant from Deception as they hurried out to a quick 2-0 series lead looking for a possible sweep and confidence boost after their heartbreaking loss to Exodus. Unfortunately for Deception, one man had a problem with the sweep. Jacob Darkfire Gurrola decided to show his stature as the best striker in North America. Darkfire pulled Vendetta back from the brink in game 3 to lead them to the reverse sweep all the way in game 5.Deception know they are close, oh so close, to the next level and a spot in the Regional Qualifiers. Vendetta on the other hand need to improve their level to distance themselves from the teams similar to them, such as Deception.Match Three: Vendetta versus GenesisThe third match of the day featured Vendetta coming off a high from their reverse sweep of Deception and Genesis looking to show why they can compete at the very highest level in North America. Game 1 went one way with Vendetta taking it 6-0 and looking very confident in their high pressure offense. Unfortunately for Vendetta they never looked to really be in the series again as Genesis took the next three games confidently with some convincing wins. While this was an expected result, Vendetta had likely hoped to get more out of this series; Genesis on the other hand was very content with the comfortable 3-1 series win and looked to push on for a 2-0 on day 1.Match Four: Genesis versus RevivalGenesis came out strong and took down Revival late in game 1. Moving into game 2, Genesis pushed the advantage hard, pressing high up the field on offense. On the back of excellent rotations and calm play, Revival managed to take game 2 despite how close the game ended up being. Game 3 saw a resurgence of form for Genesis as they came back to look like the confident top four contender they always could be. In game 4 Genesis ended the day 2-0, winning both series 3-1 and looking like a very momentum-based team.When Genessis gets going they seem nigh-on impossible to stop.dddddddddddd Revival will need to look to push forward more, as they found themselves stranded in their own goal almost every single game against Genesis.Match 5: G2 Esports versus RevivalThe return of the world champions to RLCS came in the fifth set of the day as G2 Esports, formerly iBUYPOWER Cosmic, faced off against just-defeated Revival. Game 1 started poorly for the reigning champions as they got out-pressured heavily by a Revival looking for the upset. Revival managed to continue the pressure, giving us the first sweep of the day. With the former champs falling 3-0 to Revival the RLCS predictions are all thrown amok. It seems that new blood teams are seemingly able to take games, and now sets, off of anyone.Match 6: G2 Esports versus Take 3G2 come into their second match of the day needing a win badly to show some fight before they risk falling 0-2 in the first day of League play. Unfortunately for the champs, Take 3 piled on the trouble for them, taking game 1 and taking it comfortably. Game 2 saw the return of G2 who finally looked like they had a return to form, keeping Take 3 pinned back all game. G2 kept their hot streak going in Game 3 where they took the game comfortably to move to set point, on the edge of recovering the match. The game was taken to game 5 by Take 3 who were looking to complete the win and send G2 on their way to the worst possible start. In game 5 G2s darkest fear was confirmed as Take 3 succeeded in just that. G2 had a very poor week, looking toothless on offense and seemingly having trouble with a lot of miscommunicated defensive calls.Match 7: Take 3 versus Kings of UrbanThe final match of Saturday, between the high-flying Take 3 and the Kings of Urban, was expected to be an exciting finish to the first day of League Play. Take 3 continued their incredible form, taking the first game off of the favored Kings and led by key play from Dillon Rizzo Rizzo. The Kings swiftly answered back, taking the second game with a strong performance from the entire team. Take 3 then took the final set of the day to match point by taking game 3. Game 4 went the way of the Kings to set our final match of the day up for a deciding game 5. The final match of the day ended 3-2 for Take 3, who were happy to take the slow roller from Rizzo and to take their 2-0 start to League Play.RLCS League Play has returned with all of the incredible upsets and underdog stories you could imagine. On Sunday, the RLCS will return with the Europeans looking for their turn to compete for the lions share of $250,000. Whether its the high flying FlipSid3 Tactics or the newly rebranded Northern Gaming, Europes elite should put on a show to the same caliber as North Americas, or better.
