I would think USM, La Tech and Marshall could make as good a case as half of those teams.

Ha, for us that'd be pissin' money down the drain. Lower tier academics and WVU's no vote make it an impossibility.

RE: CUSA the only G5 conference without a team presenting to Big 12
Every single CUSA administration should be making their case for the AAC. Depending on how things shake out, maybe programs that wouldn't currently view the move as upgrade might change their minds(same goes for the other way around) but if you aren't putting yourself in position now, you might not even get the opportunity to decide whether or not the move is an upgrade.
I suppose you could apply a similar logic(apart from the whether or not it's an upgrade part) to applying to the Big XII, but let's be serious, no one in CUSA/MAC/SBC is joining the Big XII. Might as well be applying for the NFC south.

How shocking would it be if the 4 they chose were Temple, Arkansas St, NIU, and Colorado St?!
ESPN would loooove that... lol.

Well, I think we all know one school that's in - Houston - and other than that it's anyone's guess.

We had already sent in our presentation stuff to the AAC and didn't feel like getting up off the couch and printing off another copy to send to the Big XII.

Niu, we have great on the field success and are in the Chicago market. Impressive, with that huge market and success, attendance must be through the roof! It is, almost broke 84,000 last year. Wow, that's an impressive average! Oh, that's not the average, that was our total for 6 games. Next.

When you have 10 buck to spend on marketing, you dont throw 8 in a no win situation.

ESPN is going to hate whoever they choose to add. They'd much rather the Big 12 sit at 10 teams. That's why no one seems to agree to whether or not 14 or 12 is the right number.
As for AState: We're not idiots. We all know we're not getting in this cycle. We're thinking about future cycles. Specifically for that inevitable time when Texas and Oklahoma bail and the Big 12 blows up. We want our name to be out there whenever the league reorganizes at that point.
Plus, we are already making a presentation to the AAC, so why not send one to the Big 12 as well. It's all about feedback and learning where you can improve.

Ha, for us that'd be pissin' money down the drain. Lower tier academics and WVU's no vote make it an impossibility.
Can anyone have lower academics than wvu??
They know who they want. All these others are these guys:

That's funny, but I did say lower tier. We just don't have the PhD programs in place that others do as we were a Masters college and then university for a long time. We are slowly adding degrees in the PhD range or equivalent and may move up in the next decade or two. WVU has an impressive list of PhDs in just the ones they give to people who never attended or finished their school.

Yeah, sending an email and doing a video presentation would absolutely drain the budget

RE: CUSA the only G5 conference without a team presenting to Big 12
honestly, I think you guys did the right thing staying out of this, none of these teams from the MAC or SBC, have a snowball chance in hell of getting selected, to me it makes them look kinda foolish and silly to think that they have any kind of shot.
