They're more likely to have better ticket sales, more donations, etc being in conference with some old SBC brethren + some of the left over CUSA schools than the new SBC line up.

If UL is selling a conference season ticket package with:

a. Georgia Southern, Troy, Georgia State, Idaho, TxState

vs a ticket package with:

b. USM, La Tech, Rice, UTEP, MT

What's the Cajun fan more likely to buy? What's more likely to spur donations? (Same with ASU).

IMHO, just a matter of time before Banowsky makes that phone call.

At least one of those games is a guaranteed sell out/standing room only game.

Of course - Georgia Southern. Just ask them.

But you can't stop that triple option. No one in the gang of five can. GATA lol
