Why doesnt Western Kentucky move up to D1a? They won a national championship in D1aa couple of year ago. What else is there to accomplish in small ball? With your basketball there is a possibly could get an invite to CUSA, in a few of years the Big East expands. Most people think the Big East will split and take might take 1-4 from out of Memphis, ECU, UCF, or Marshall.
If I was heading a program like Western Kentucky I would try to line up for that right now. North Texas, Troy, Midd Tenn State, and and maybe New Mexico State are programs I would think would get CUSA looks. You might also have a shot at the MAC.
The worst case scenario is you would be in the Sun Belt conference which isn't bad. North Texas has played in a few bowls. You can be successful in it. I just would love it to undermine those from Loserville Cardinals.
