RE: Will CUSA expand within the next 3 years? (adding Texas State and Georgia State)
Yeah, but UALR won the Sun Belt tourney in 2015-16 and went to March Madness that year. And for that matter, UTA did the same in 2016-17.
I'm sure the Sun Belt cares about baseball, to an extent. But just like the SEC, it's a nice to have but doesn't move the needle. The needle movers, as have been known for some time, are college football with a nice side helping of March Madness. That's it. Other sports/events, college world series, college frozen four, even college lacrosse and perhaps one day soccer, have fervent supporters but aren't needle movers and drivers of realignment on their own.
Sun Belt isn't kicking UALR or ULM out, and the NCAA isn't kicking ULM out of FBS. And if UALR manages to add a football team, the Sun Belt will give them a spot in the league.
