I don't look at that as a prize to be fought over.

Most good basketball programs not playing in a P5 conference had their runs, some a little better than the others. But they also usually (most) go through that spurt of seasons where they are not the prettiest girl in the room. Take a look at the football programs around them....

you don't have the south feeding them players and you don't have the Texas pipeline and you don't have the big ole country boy beating their door down (too many mid-west schools already getting those). Money, along with a very good basketball program aside...

I see a football program that will be at the bottom 75% of the time and not getting past middle of the pack over 10%

So you are adding another mouth to feed with the hope their basketball program stays at the level it's at so you can get some NCAA money to offset adding another mouth and another football program that most likely will be well below average for many many years.

I see this as a good add if it was only basketball but overall ....it's less than a 50-50 crap shoot

To be fair, most mid-major programs that fizzle out don't pay their coach's over $2 million yr. Coaching loss is the most common reason programs fade away, but Wichita State seems to have the financial resources to outbid major programs.

One thing that'll be interesting to see this offseason though is if Frank Martin gets poached from South Carolina. If he does, I could see them going hard after Gregg Marshall and I could see him taking it so he could be back home.

They said at the time that they would have to look into changing conferences if they did decide on FBS football. Well, the prez of that school just tweeted some interesting tweets on the subject. So when our conference board recently said they discussed possible expansion, did they have WSU in mind because of their MBB program? Coupled with Arkansas St and it's proximity to Kansas, that would be the two to expand with. One very good in FB and one very good in basketball.

WSU prez tweets

I would love to have the Shockers personally. Good basketball, good fan support, and they have Koch money behind them.

Can't imagine we'd add 2 in the west though. Would we move UAB and USM over to the east in a situation like that?

Only one would need to be moved.

I'm not sure Wichita State will even have the votes for the SBC considering Wichita would most certainly want 22 concessions minimum before agreeing to move their basketball program over.

I think they'd be more willing to join CUSA, but you'll certainly have to make concessions as well.

C-USA's concession would be putting up with their fledgling football program which would benefit greatly from membership. There has to be a give and take. I'm 100% in favor of adding WSU with the only concession being a guarantee by WSU to properly fund their football program. Of course, the conference would need to give WSU is proper share of the conference pie.

-give longer period for entrance fee payment
-promise basketball tourney to them for "X" years
-give a somewhat larger share of NCAA tourney credits (temporarily-to phase out over time)
-major input on travel partner or new member

Also due to these special incentives a MUCH larger exit fee for a set #of years.

Why give any concessions to the basketball team when the football team will be feeding at the trough just like all others? Joining C-USA will make it much easier to build a football program.

If it weren't for the quality of the basketball program we should be asking them for concessions!

The only concession I would accept would be the possibility of returning part of the entrance fee up to full refund based on performance of the basketball team during the first five years. That's it.

A guarantee that they won't get the RPI-killing FU's or UTSA home-and-home in basketball is fair.

I want to see them here every year, to replace the memphis game.

What I mean is the way things are "right now" we are no longer ahead of the MAC, pretty much equal. The MAC took in UMASS hoping they would give in and bring their basketball over. I do not want CUSA bringing in a WSU football startup while not getting the basketball program too. CUSA has stuck to its all sports or nothing deal since 2005, and personally I do not want it to change. Now the Sun Belt or the MAC would take them for football only in hopes of getting basketball later. You see how that plays out..........I do not want CUSA stooping that low and to be honest it is one of the things that has kept us one step ahead as a conference.

To be honest, I doubt anyone takes in partial members except in unique (Notre Dame) circumstances. With deregulation, the Sun Belt no longer needs 12 teams to hold a conference title game, which means they can tell Idaho and New Mexico State to not let the door hit 'em where the good Lord split 'em and not feel the need to replace them at all, much less with a school that's only bringing its start-up football program. And the MAC had a choice between replacing Temple and hoping the new school and UMass would transition to full members, or dropping the all-in-or-fold card on UMass, and we see what they did.

So unless Wichita State has cause to believe that a) it would get a full Mountain West or American invitation or b) the rules for moving from FCS will change to allow it to be an FBS independent upon transition, then they're going to need to find an all-sports FBS conference, or otherwise put the nascent football program in the MVFC and keep on keepin' on for a spell.

I get what the MAC did to fix the situation, but my point is, I don't want our conference in the same situation. You see how long UMass got to stay there living off the MAC tit. Temple actually provided a little something for football but left on their own accord. Temple obviously is the winner with how things ended up, but UMass is not, they are facing independent status and that does not bode well long term for any G5, including what you suggest with WSU going independent as well, it wont work long term. My opinion is they will have to suck it up and go somewhere or stay MVC FCS.

New message from the president of WSU sounds like he is selling the idea of fbs football and a different conference pretty hard. He is alluding to another conference where WSU would have more institutions with similar missions. Which conference would that be?

I know we usually do not tie academics and athletics together in a tight knot but in the article linked above the WSU president does.Now--he may waver on this but said he wanted his school(an R2) to be associated with other like-minded institutions.

R2-high research
R1-very high research

-as defined by the Carnegie Classification System-listed on Wiki


MVC-R2-only one other school

AAC-R1-6, R2-4

C-USA-R1-4, R2-6

MWC-R1-1, R2-4

MAC-R1-0, R2-8

SBC-R1-2, R2-2

Difficult to see a clear conclusion from this data but the SBC and MW would seem to trail in his consideration.

Conference USA rules and regs say.. if you don't bring all sports that the conference sponsors, you don't get in.

So that wouldn't be an issue, but again, I don't see it happening.

Me either, just purely based off what the conference mission was when realignment began the big shifts that Marshall was apart of.

I don't see it happening unless the AAC stands pat and even then, we already have 14 BUT expansion was discussed at some length during last conference meeting.

I'm guessing that the MWC might absorb a start-up football program to bring WSU in to the fold.

And - to be blunt - unless our MBB improves dramatically, my guess is that WSU does whatever it can to avoid CUSA. I'm sure their short-term dream is the AAC but I agree that the AAC would be much less likely to at least initially take on their football.

IF WSU wants the MWC...

C-USA gives WSU a chance to build up with some other call-ups so they're not necessarily out of their league. Would have the huge advantage in basketball, and one of the top C-USA baseball teams (They'd be in the mix every year with Rice, USM, and the others that repeatedly get into the top 4).

MWC - They'd have some definite GROWING pains in Football (could they really afford to go to Hawaii that often?), and I'm still not sure MWC wants a "call-up" school. Basketball wise, easy fit. Baseball.. MWC only has 7 teams, so I could see them wanting WSU, but does WSU want them.

Something we haven't thought about (or maybe we have..), if C-USA were to call on WSU and they accepted: What do you do with 15 teams? (I'd think you'd have to bring in one more right?)

WEST:
UTEP/UTSA/UNT/RICE/WSU/LA Tech/USM/UAB

EAST:
Marshall/MTSU/Charlotte/FAU/FIU/ODU/WKU/(?)

You realize you've pretty much locked in your FB schedule (7 C-USA division games, no crossovers outside of the championship game? (again, unless you do a 2 vs 2, 3 vs. 3, 4 vs 4, etc day.)

Your basketball schedule is even worse: H-and-H with your division, 1 game with each of your opponents is ... 22 games, and the average conference schedule is only 18 games. are you willing to give up 4 RPI-helping (Hopefully) OOC games?

Baseball: Well, not so bad. since there are 12 BB teams in conference right now, so one more wouldn't be so bad there..

The AAC has 12 member now. WSU wouldn't add to the value with what they already have in order to gain offsetting revenue of a renegotiated contract. Basketball is great an all, but football pays the bills. If AAC loses some, yeah I could see it happen along with a few CUSA teams.

And - to be blunt - unless our MBB improves dramatically, my guess is that WSU does whatever it can to avoid CUSA. I'm sure their short-term dream is the AAC but I agree that the AAC would be much less likely to at least initially take on their football.

Then using that logic, why would CUSA take them on?
