No thank you. That is not a better solution. C-USA West would not benefit from adding the western Sun Belt programs. As a collection they would not add any extra value, nor would they collectively add any prestige to our current line-up. Arkansas State is the only Sun Belt program I would even be interested in. So, I will amend my original opinion... There is no substantially better situation among the other G5 conferences, and realigning with the Sun Belt shouldn't even be considered.

Many western SBC schools would say the same thing about North Texas. Both conference have bottom halves naturally.

They could, but that would be stupid. North Texas is the current C-USA Western Division Champ and has been to 3 bowl games since joining C-USA 5 years ago. C-USA West does not have a bottom half. 5 of our 7 teams finished the season bowl eligible. Only Rice and UTEP failed to reach 6 wins last season.

Every Sun Belt program west of the Mississippi, except Arkansas State, finished last season with a losing record. The teams in C-USA West will not consider any kind of realignment.

The realigning of the Sun Belt and CUSA is coming quicker than I think anyone may realize. Attendance is awful and there is no meaningful TV deal. Travel costs are only rising. I doubt every school makes the cut, but most of the schools will reorganize into two new conferences

There are not enough votes in C-USA to force a realignment. The four Texas programs and probably LA Tech would not vote to add all of the Sun Belt programs that was West of the Mississippi (Arkansas State, ULL, ULM, and Texas State). That is the truth.

The only possible realignment would happen as BRtransplant stated. The Big12 would have to kick it off, and that has no possibility of happening until the playoff, bowl, and media contracts are resigned.
