What is the Sloan Conference? Is Bill more comfortable around coaches than nerds now?

CONFERENCE USA PREVIEW TALK: Can Bobby Wilder rebuild what he built at ODU (and what's the ceiling there)? Does Louisiana Tech have another gear? Can FIU transition from lucky to dominant? Where is Alcorn State? Can Southern Miss ride experience to another breakthrough (with a murderous schedule)?
