You have nothing to base that on other than what that little CUSA tin foil hat that you wear tells you to say

It is based on logic. ULL has a history of bad attendance and bad football. One outlier season won't change that in the long run and ULL will be right back where they normally reside, near the bottom of the standings.

UL has led the Belt in attendance since they have been in if I am correct----Everybody thinks that HUD is the only reason---NOT--we have a great president that is the antithesis of the last and an AD that is not a temp from the old administration----We will introduce a package for the ASU game which will shock most with the plans!!!

That would kill off C-USA, bring both of those programs in to a regional Conference, improve our TV and bowl agreemements, and help USM and ECU develop some strong regional rivalries.

The Sun Belt is on solid ground, we are in no danger of going bye-bye, but if C-USA lost USM and ECU, I think their league would implode.

If this were to ever happen, I'd say it would be safe to say that Marshall would freak out and come knocking back on the MAC's door to be #14.

DOG, You really don't know much about the history of the UL administrations and differences in the level of support for athletics the new administration has versus the stranglehold the previous 40 + year University President had on the athletic programs. Nor do you understand the level of commitment the community has for the new administration and UL athletics. Nor do you realize just how much money flows through Lafayette.

Keep spouting your ignorant comments and we will send you crow to eat later. I am an LSU grad and former athlete. I now support UL far more than LSU because we are all seeing a fundamental groundswell that is taking place on campus and in the community. The sign of success is when someone ridicules you when you have achieved higher standards. It is also a sign of a person fearful of their own status in life. GO LOUISISANA AND GO SBC...

Do you ULL people not do any research, you didn't lead the conference in attendance as close as 2010 when you average 17k. The year before that 18k. And so on and so forth.

In fact ULL has led the conference in attendance once before last season. And had one season over 20k in average attendance. So you were 1 for 10 in your prediction, pretty awful.

Not True. Here is the NCAA attendance history by year.

I think the article is misleading. Houston, SMU, and Memphis will be the Big East's problem next year. UNT and FIU look better then Houston and Memphis right now, and as good as SMU.

Yeah to an extent you're right. 3 of the biggest offenders on that list of teams the article mentions are gone. Everyone who was realistic about this season knew this year was going to be a big transition year for the league. Essentially everyone of note lost their QB, half the league lost their coaches, and you just don't bounce back from that immediately. Houston fans were out of control with their belief that they wouldn't miss a beat. I currently think the class of the league is Tulsa.

I agree Tulsa seems to be the class of C-USA right now. I also think LA Tech (joining in 2013) is a strong program that that people seem to be overlooking. Plus, I don't expect USM or ECU to stay down for long.

The Sun Belt might not have had the best of days, but C-USA struggled today too:

Marshall lost to Ohio
SMU lost to Texas A&M
Memphis lost to MTSU
UAB lost South Carolina
Rice is losing to La Tech

UCF beat FIU
Tulsa beat Nicholls State (FCS)
UTEP is beating NM State

Houston plays UCLA later -- expected to lose

Yep. Whole family went to UL except me. Got recruited to LSU as UL did not have a swim team. Always supported Cajuns, family has had season tickets going back 40 years. Used to go to games with dad when ever I was in town in my younger days and lived in other states. Watched all the Cajun greats going back to the 70's.. Ran the Hot and Spicy Golf classic for first 7 years generating over $300 K. So yes I bleed Vermillion, black and white now..
