The Tennessean reports Middle Tennessee intends to fight the Sun Belt Conference over a $1 million exit fee to go to Conference USA. The fee was adopted by Sun Belt presidents in May when MTSU was talking with C-USA.

Meanwhile, MTSU athletic officials feel they were snubbed from playing in a bowl game. The Blue Raiders had a better overall record 8-4 than Western Kentucky’s 7-5 and had beaten the Hilltoppers during the season. MTSU was one of two bowl eligible teams in the nation that did not receive a bowl bid. Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson said Monday the move to Conference USA had no effect on Middle Tennessee receiving a bowl bid.
