PS sorry to slam FIU , WKU fans didnt ever want them in the Sun Belt and dont like the idea of being back in a conference with them again other than a recruiting game

Punk School? Classy you and great representation of WKU. Obviously, FIU was picked before WKU for a variety of reasons, of course, including market size. I would encourage you to become a little bit more informed before making these inflamatory comments. FIU has many things going their way, location, size, enrollment, academic metrics and Research (much better than any other remaining school in the SBC in only 40 years of existence), and I'm sure the CUSA Presidents also take a look at that.

Good luck to WKU in the future, but I feel for fans like you that like to run their mouth without much information.

let me correct what i meant to say ( not that it will be any better) i meant to say treated like a punk not a punk school....I have always got along with the FIU fans but hate that FIU is in the large market that it is/ has over 50K enrollment but yet cant get 200 people to attend a sporting event. Fan support drives a program and also can break a program just as fast . I have no ill will against FIU fans and Im glad for you guys that stick it out and only hope you can recruit more fans, its just how I feel about the University itself. FAU isnt much better. So I do apologize for coming accross harsh and for the rude comments towards FIU. Im still on the fence if I want to be part of C-USA and wanted to see other opinions of WKU....good or bad

I think most will agree with you. Some might not admit it, but they are simply polishing a turd. Inexcusable for WKU not to be here at this point.

Explain please, who is the turd?

CUSA East is the turd.

And WKU would turn the turd to gold?

All I know is we entered a conference division with ECU and USM. Now we have neither.

That I can understand, you signed on the dotted line base on a certain conference composition and it has now changed.

What I don't understand are those who know what the conference make up is currently, are pimping their school and at the same time trying to dictate who should/should not be in a conference that they are not a part of.

I think our highest ranking ever was #9.

WTF?????!!!! A fan from a non C-USA school gets to keep his post that calls FIU a punk school but you remove the posts from FIU fans that are in defense of our school????

Thread is on the smack board if you want to continue that discussion.

The OP still has FIU has a punk school, that is not considered smack? Why not send the whole thread to the smack board?

I've apologized twice any wont do it again. I said that I meant to say treated like a punk. But since it had already been copied, there was no since in doing a edit. I wrote it while at work and never proof read when I got busy. Sue me!
