Gdunn, there's a variety of fellow C-USA and BE fans who say that if a BE invite was coming to USM, we'd jump at the opportunity.

There are others (myself included) who say that even if a BE invite was coming, we'd turn it down and stick with the hopes that the Alliance works out..

So if you had a choice between the two options (BE vs. Alliance) which would you take for USM?

Honestly.. I can't answer that. My thoughts are this, stay where things are comfortable, but then again, never be afraid to bite off more than you can chew.

The viarables are too unknown. Do we know if UCF, Houston, SMU, Boise State, and Air Force going to swap over. Do we know for sure WVU and Louisville are gone?

With the mess we're in now, I'd say stick with C-USA and dominate... but that AQ bid does look pretty sitting in the window.

Right now I would say stay put. Watch things and see what happens. I do not think Boise is going to the BE. There is a lot of unknowns with the BE right now.

We are screwed either way. How about going to a 14 team Big 12???

riffic, i've been a big fan of trying to get into the B12, but I thought I was the only one who thought that way? Whenever everyone was saying "Big East!" I was one of the alternative voices..

Five years ago I would have agreed with you. Right now I don't. The Big East's flirtation with BSU (and the service academies) smacks of desperation.

Stay where we are. No way would I want to be in the Big Least left overs. The only thing they have over CUSA right now is better bowls. The schools who left are realizing that the money promised is not there and the cost of moving has not warranted it. CUSA will get stronger as the new schools improve, which I believe they will. USM is now back on track too. Meanwhile, the AAC is getting weaker. It is a conference with no fans, but exists is a TV market (and no one watches). I'll stay where we are. May not be what I would prefer, but it is the best thing for us now.
