Absolutely misleading. I was THERE the last time Troy played at FIU and COUNTED the number of fans present. There was less than 250 people at kickoff, but more around 2,000 by halftime due to an impending monsoon that didn't happen. ESPN listed the game at 15,000+. No d*** riding, just facts. The 12,000 this time around is probably just as misleading and just as inflated. Total BS.

Terrible attendance, terrible football program. CUSA can have F_U. Though I think FAU actually has fans, and beat Troy last year.

Were you at today's game? I was there and I can tell you that there were at least 10 times more people than what is shown in this picture. The picture is completely misleading.

You shouldn't. The SB added plenty of bottom feeders.

Did you just call yourselves Bottom Feeders?

Yes, I call it how as see it. We've had two winning seasons in 11 years. It is safe to say we suck.

Just checking. When you guys finally hire a competent AD, tell him to get rid of Friday Night Football...its stupid.

So 5,000 people then? I can't see how there are more than 500 people in the stands in that photo. 5,000 it is.

I'm sure you knew that already the same way you also know the SB added 4 teams equally as bad and arguably worst.

We added one in a similar position to you guys, two that were left out in the cold and are at least FBS programs, and three solid programs.

There were easily 12,000 people at the game tonight. It is important to note when the picture was taken.

If I ever go on a manned mission to colonize Mars with my kids, I'll say to them, "see that shiny silver glare coming from Earth? That's Miami. But you can only see it on Saturdays for about three hours." We'll make it tradition to see "The Glare."

"Mommy! Daddy! The GLARE! On a FRIDAYYY!"

"Wow kids, its even brighter than ever!"

Not at all. You guys added leftovers. Two of the worst programs in recent history in Idaho and NMST and two bad FCS programs in GState and South Alabama.

At least Texas State can beat a CUSA team! I'd argue they will be much better for the Sun Belt than the F_A and UNT combined. The real losses are MTSU and WKU. If they had of stayed then we would be without a doubt the best G5 conference. Now we have to wait a few year for APP and Georgia Southern toget FBS talent.

Unfortunately TXST wasn't the only school added. So was Idaho, NMST, GAST and S Alabama.

South Alabama is moving fast. Results on the field may not have caught up yet, but they will. They have a huge edge in Basketball and baseball already having strong fan bases. FIU doesn't.

USA was joining with or without you, they don't count. The other three are equal to UNT and F_U.

Your on the wrong board defending your school bud. Because the CUSA board sure is blasting FIU right now.....

I loved the ECU fan who is convinced that FIU will suddenly be able to recruit now that they are in CUSA.

Recruiting is not FIU's problem. Their problem is a weak administration and a poor job of marketing to a fan base.

If ASU ever agrees to a Friday Night football game on freaking CBS College Sports, remind me to personally make sure our AD is fired.

Really?? At least we have market, athletic budget and a fertile recruiting area going for us. Oh and we're all actually better than Idaho and NMST.

well...yes, you see the Sun Belt charter says that if USA starts football...they get an invite. That invite came 6 years ago...long before there was even a hint that you guys would be leaving the league.
