Richmond (A-10)
#10 Louisville (ACC)
LSU (SEC)
SJU (A-10)
URI (A-10)
VCU (A-10)

6 Power conference games in one season...that's half the OOC! And the other 6 were regional games that would be easier games to pull in wins (we went 5-1 in those other 6).

Also, you are completely ignoring the FOOTBALL schedule, which is fantastic. No one from ODU is sad we made the move. NO ONE. And we certainly aren't laying around wishing we had waited for JMU to move. If you guys move up, great, we would love to keep playing in football....but why would we chain ourselves to a school that doesn't appear to have the ambition to take a leap?

Talk to me when your program returns to the NCAA and advances. That is what ODU did routinely as a CAA school. I could care less who you play and lose to. You are completely missing the argument. ODU had more basketball success in the CAA then they are currently having CUSA. They also had more natural rivals. They are in a conference with schools no one really knows and they have no history with.
