what do you guys think about the new schools?
I was ok with it at first, but if I read another complaint about travel and that they need more east coast schools, I'm going to change my mind.

RE: what do you guys think about the new schools?
I'm perfectly alright with the new schools, all of them, especially Old Dominion, Texas-San Antonio Charlotte and Louisiana Tech. I love the spirit that several of the UTSA fans have displayed at their forum since learning they were coming to Conference USA. Looking forward to the new competition and emergence of new rivalries. Our support as fans for the conference & its' representatives as a whole is vital to its' overall success.
Welcome to all the new schools...Long live Conference USA!

I can't tell which will pan out, and which will flop.
I think we added too many at once. ODU and Charlotte are good adds.
IMO, UTSA and UNT have to show the can draw their market. UTSA is so new, I'm worried about what will happen when the new thing wears out. As for UNT, it was brought in to remain in the Dallas market, yet their fans do not seem to want to be associated with the city of Dallas.
FIU, is a total headscratcher. So much to do in that area (even in winter), that there is no reason to expect fans to stay home and watch the FIU team.
