I doubt Liberty has the votes. Would need 11 of 14 votes (assuming Idaho and NMSU get votes).

The AAC is simply a better CUSA with UConn, Cincy (welcome back!), Temple, Navy, USF (welcome back!), better TV contract, better exposure from ESPN, and the BE's 100 million dollar war chest. (Being split 60-40 old members/new members)

One of the things about Liberty is that if JMU is a no go, and we feel like we must expand east, they have the most in terms of facilities and fan support. I can see why Benson would like them

That being said, there is little chance our presidents would go along with such an idea unless Benson has pictures of them in compromising positions.

The same thing was said about Southern joining (that we didn't have the votes) but when it came down to it, everyone except GaState was for us joining.

JMU is still the best option. Hopefully they decide to join.

Liberty isn't bad; they just carry some stigma.

That's what I'm getting at. He will fight to get the votes and the Presidents will fight to add someone else. They won't agree. JMU is the only one they can both agree on.

I wish MSU was mentioned. Hopefully, they don't drag their feet at making it known and miss their chance. The stadium expansion has to be an indication though.

Missouri State would fit right in. They were Southwest Missouri State until 2005 so they'll get along with Southwest Louisiana and even with Northeast Louisiana. 05-stirthepot

Yeah but the fact Benson didn't mention them at all (at least not according to the Vandal reporter) leads me to believe they aren't a strong option right now.

Don't forget Southwest Texas.. and like all the others you mentioned, they have moved on to a name more fitting of their actual status as a University.

I am sure that TxSt, UL and ULM would all be much happier with MoSt than any other available add. As would ASU.

The way things go with these deals, that probably means they're in!

I agree....and in case anyone thinks I was making fun of the directional names, I wasn't. I'm a fan of Western Kentucky obviously. I do think it's just cool that there would be four teams that not only were once directional schools but multi-directional. LOL

Someone's trying to be bad today. I don't understand why people want to run from their history. But then again we're not talking about much to run from . 05-stirthepot

I think MOst would be a good Add, but that would mean one of us LA schools would have to move to the east division for Olympic sports and I like the tight footprint of the west for Olympic sports.
