is that CUSA really doesn't lose anything.

Houston is currently good however there has been no longevity that I've seen. They also had a Fraternity play their hoops like 40 years ago.

UCF & SMU we're good once. SMU paid there way to the top & UCF recently did pretty well. Both of their hoops are worthless.

So again the best part is we have a national power in Memphis that tops all but UCONN in their Step Down. We have Southern Miss & ECU that have real tradition & fan support. (Not paid-for tradition & peewee football atmospheres) Plus they have the longevity unlike those stepping down.

Oh and in football the west did lighten up a tad with Houston leaving though I highly doubt once Keenum is gone they woulda been able to hang. SMU is as pointless as they will be in the Big East. In the East we do lose a team that has new money recent success but as shown this year it's not like we lose a world beater by any means.

So for those of us not stepping down to a lesser conf by all means feel free to laugh at them. That's what the 3 Stooges would want.
