Will other UAC teams follow Sam Houston's early exit to FBS?

When the schools, affectionately known as the ‘Texas 4,’ decided to leave the Southland Conference and join the Western Athletic Conference for the 2021 season, the rumored plan was for the WAC to transition into the FBS in approximately 10 years.

However, Sam Houston threw a wrench into those plans when they accepted an invitation to transition to FBS and join Conference USA. Since the Bearkats decision to move to CUSA, multiple reports have surfaced of other schools in the now United Athletic Conference that could follow SHSU.
