"No further expansion is planned at this time."
If Karl Benson had been in the room, I'd have hugged him...

It shouldn't have come as a surprise, but after finishing tenth in the Sun Belt Conference this season, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns were shut out of the All-Conference team released Tuesday by the league.
