For instance, USM and Troy should be playing every year with something on the line. Throw in LaTech, SAlabama, UAB, ULL, and a couple more and you got traveling fans and some fun football.
I'm tired of this market BS.
once the super conference and it's potential to leverage never materialized (mwc/cusa), it only makes 'cents' at this point....
however, the problem then becomes recruiting and selling out....
perception is a big deal when it comes to attendance and investment....
I wouldn't want to be in Bennet's nor Big Mac's shoes during this realignment phase....
....and trust me....I'm beyond finished with the market bs....my first post on this site and many subsequent were due to the first phase years ago....
the cold hard fact is it will take a miracle to put southern miss on any map of
'worth' other than our current fan base/conference as the clock tick-tocks....
coaching is almost certain to be a revolving door moving forward.....that's a huge problem
we'll still get the rogue players and late bloomers....but the days of consecutive winning seasons are 50/50 at best now
it's a shame to have watched the potential erode that was available ~35 yrs ago in both football and hoops....
addendum: hell, the big boys are going to form their uber conference in about a decade anyway....if I live long enough, it will be interesting to see how moo-u and the black bears respond....no way they get invited to that dance....ol' pissy might make the cut after threatening multiple lawsuits....but I doubt it....
