Given the tweets said KSU was the frontrunner but that nothing is final, it's all moot. There's nothing official as of the moment...altho it appears it's close.

WESTERN Kentucky University in the West division just makes sense.

A KSU fan Twitter dug up a regents meeting on Tuesday to vote on KSU entering a new agreement regarding it's athletic conference. Feels about as close as it can get to a done deal. I'm curious what they announce about the stadium. There have been a few theories about what we'd do about the stadium if we moved up.

Also, I'm way more excited about CUSA than I thought I'd be. JSU is a growing rivalry. With some good games I think MTSU and KSU can get some heat between us. And hopefully we can get a series going with Georgia State once we're FBS.

We could have that with the current 9 team set-up.

We're leaving so this has no impact on UNT... but to me this seems like an unnecessary addition. Is adding KSU going to help strengthen C-USA when compared to the other G5 conferences? No, so there's no good reason to split a bad media deal among more members.

Couldn't live without some Owls about. Congrats CUSA! Interesting move

Big city. Owl mascot.


Seems like they should be heading to AAC instead. Fingers crossed.

My guess, if this is true, is that this move helps in the new media negotiations.

At this point, I really don't care anymore who we add, who leaves, what division we are in, how many more times we get left behind. I'm a WKU grad and a fan for a few decades. WKU will just continue on as the small town school that does it's thing.

Nice move CUSA....nice move!!!

I had never heard of Kennesaw State and had to Google them. After some quick research, I have no idea how a town with the population of 30K is going to help in the next media negotiation.

It's in Cobb County, population 760,000, and is part of the Atlanta metro and media market.

Why is that a shame? No one in Texas knows about Kennesaw State.

In doing a little bit of research on Kennessaw, this was by far the most interesting thing.

From Wikipedia: Today, the city is perhaps best known nationally for its mandatory gun-possession ordinance requiring all households in Kennesaw to have a gun, with certain exceptions.

Tide comes in, tide goes out.

Owls come in, Owls go out.

Ken St brings absolutely nothing to this continually declining conference. This is just more evidence of exactly why so many schools wanted out of a conference run by Judy- and some of the moron Presidents who enable her.

KSU is meh for me but if they can build a FBS level stadium maybe they can upgrade themselves to something great. But that MLS stadium they have won’t move the needle for me and adding seats to it won’t do it either.

Have we not LEARNED that these "marketz" theories do not work? How many times have those ideas proved incorrect?
