Staying at 13 ain't gonna happen IMO
UMass or Ohio would be my picks. Don't know why Ohio is always overlooked. Good rivalry with Marshall

USM fan jumping the gun, seen enough of it. Hard to remain optimistic.
Honestly if Tulsa doesn't jump, USM is on the clock. Big East will solidify itself. USF and UCF refuse to be in the same conference as FIU and FAU

Yep, seen this happen 6 times in a 12 month period. Pretty confident Tulsa is gone.
If we lose a central time zone team I perfer we replace them with one. Perhaps Texas State or Arkansas St.
If we lose any more teams CUSA is quickly starting to look like the Slumbelt.
No one needs to be added unless it gets below 12.
add WKU and move UAB out west
Either WKU or ULL. I vote ULL - lots of fans and a nice road trip.
I thought WKU was already in? They should be #1 and ULL a close #2. NIU also seems interesting.
Panicstricken is going to commit suicide if Tulsa comes to the BE. He is going to hate his own school as bad as he hates ECU.
I think that CUSA may need to start taking some MAC teams. Who is left from the WAC to take that is any good?

We couldn't get MAC teams to come before, why would they now?

Agree. Until UH and SMU make a final decision on the MWC, there is no need to act. If UH and SMU pull out of the nBE and go west, I wonder if Tulane might return to C-USA if we refunded their exit fees.
If Tulsa should leave it's a no-brainer to replace them with Louisiana (UL-Lafayette). They've beaten San Diego State and ECU in bowl games the last two years and had average attendance well into the 20s. Their New Orleans Bowl game drew almost 49K of mostly Cajun fans. On top of that they have the second best food behind New Orleans.
