And lateturd would have to play ULM. Couldnt duck them like they did for the Indy bowl.
Southern Miss in a heartbeat. Pretty good add in baseball too.

No thanks. Heck, I want UAB to drop FB again. Troy and S.Alabama should be the only G5 programs in Alabama... actually, S.Alabama should move down to FCS. Troy recruiting would be so much easier that way... :D

USM and LA Tech in a heartbeat, wouldn't mind trading LA Tech for either ULM or ULL, or even both.

Someone's still puffed up from their big win last weekend

Hahaha please, please do that go with the Crown Jewel of the UL system! This is the same school
has put down the Sunbelt for years, who refused to play ULM in a bowl game, who has nothing to offer but a mediocre to alright football program, where do we sign ourselves out of the Sunbelt to make way for the Necksters!

Had a chance to have NMSU.

Yep... I will be sorry to see them go. Just trying to think of willing teams that would be a good addition to the Sun Belt if we wanted to get from 11 to 12 (that is, if USM would be willing).

So you guys want to add a team that just lost to a team that just started back football and kick out two charter members of Sunbelt football? Ok... That makes sense. ULM is on the way up. Viator is the man. La Turd is so elite! #yougottaloveit

I say we take USM, Marshall and LaTech. We give up TxSt because we all understand they would prefer to be in conference with UTSA, UTEP, UNT and Rice. I get it, and don't blame them.

Then we all good, right??? 04-cheers

Yeah...its not like we don't have two non football members that we could easily remove from the equation by simply creating a bylaw that requires they sponsor football to remain a member or something...

J/K

Or we do like the AAC, 12 football, 14 other sports. It really isn't that big a deal. I'd love to have USM in the same conference as South.

No AAC has 12 & 12. Navy is FB only. Wichita State is a non-football all-sports member.

It's pretty obvious the east and west schools have different ideas about what the league should look like and why realignment will happen one day.

Those two programs would be great adds, but it would probably only come at the cost of losing the eastern schools and ULM going FCS. A big shake up where App/CC/GS/GSU all moved east and USM/La Tech and others moved west. In the end, it would probably all be about the same and neither conference would be thought of any differently.

Well think the west Schools want Division I-A programs that are established. This is why NMSU should of been allowed in the conference. I can understand Idaho and letting them go they are on an island by themselves. We need to take the best candidate, regardless of travel, this is Division I-A, and we need other Division I-A programs and not a glorified Southern Conference.

I'd 10 to 1 rather add two established schools before an established school and a call up. NMSU and Marshall or USM and Marshall or even USM and NMSU would be better than any of those and JMU.

That is IF we need to be at 12, which we don't. If TxSt were to ever jump ship to CUSA then there's no reason to have NMSU. At that point you try to lure Marshall or try and get UTA to go all-in on FB.

I think UALR is missing the boat, they have a 50,000 seat stadium in Little Rock, that Arkansas doesn't even play in anymore, plus LR is 350,000 people if not more. To me if they went all in on football it would be like South Alabama, they would get 20,000 for a game regardless because just the fact that LR is a big town with no football, and they want football. Plus would add a 3rd FBS team in Arkansas. To me they have the potential to make it in the Sunbelt.

I think they would be more like UAB with UA(in both cases) holding them down. South is its own school, no one else to answer to or move around.

That is the CUSA model, go for TVs and population. Ask CUSA how that is working out and why this thread popped up.

The model should follow established football teams with tradition built in winning and fan support, the product put on the field will bring the TVs.
