No talk about which school to invite? Or plan going forward? There's the smell of death on that board. CUSA may finally be dead.
UTEP's travel cost will destroy the Miners program.
Looking good for the Sunbelt going forward. Maybe grab USM and Marshall. Or go after some successful FCS schools that want to move up and continue to build and strengthen SBC with a proven plan. Too bad Sam Houston and SFA made the move to the WAC. Those would have been good additions.
Conference USA just has to grab all of the Sun Belt east division + Louisiana and we'll be good. Push UTEP to the WAC and we'll be doing splendid.

Likelihood of it happening? Basically zero. But don't you lie to me and say that ain't an interesting looking conference.

The WAC is a FCS and will not be FBS for at least another 10 years.

My plan depends on UTEP also going FBS Indy and playing NMSU 12 times a year

It's really not because we'd be giving up a better TV deal and adding teams like FIU and MTSU to our schedule. We could just add a few CUSA teams and accomplish the same goal.

Hey now, I'm not averse to booting FIU as well. Besides, the C-USA TV deal will be going to market soon anyways.

I dunno, have you met my friend the C-USA Basketball Championship Curtain? Very nice, made of the best faux satin. Don't know how any squad could say no to an offer like that.

The sad thing is, they'd probably keep the CUSA basketball tournament in Texas.

. . . not a damn thing wrong with having a Basketball Tournament in Texas. They just need a better venue . . .

Well not one place, we elected to play our basketball tournament indoors see...
I am going to feel bad for ODU if they get left in CUSA. That is the one school that moved up to CUSA that really does have the potential and facilities to become something much more than they are right now. They will be the victim of a poor coaching hire. Their basketball facility is the best in CUSA by far IMO.
The bad thing for them is James Madison has solid football, large fanbase, and brand spanking new basketball arena as well. You would have to think they will get the nod if SBC goes to 14.
