If there was going to be a reshuffling, the best thing to do would be to send App State to C-USA in exchange for WKU and MTSU. That move would allow C-USA to get back to 12 (fewer ways to to split the capped CFP money), and the move would largely be revenue-neutral for the SBC (an additional $1 MM from the CFP for the new member). C-USA could even make a parachute payment to WKU and MTSU if it wasn't revenue neutral for them.

SBC
West - Idaho, NMSU, Texas St, Ark St, UL, ULM
East - USA, Troy, WKU, MTSU, Ga St, Ga So
No.

Well you are certainly right about the not knowing much about College baseball part.
Last year was one of the worst years in the history of the conference, and we still were within a couple innings of putting a team in Omaha.
We're normally one of the top 7 leagues in the country.

How many of those top tier teams are now in C-USA? Don't forget we just had a major switch in realignment.

Georgia Southern is quite good, and App won't embarass the league, either.

FAU and FIU hurt in baseball, but App State should do OK, any team in Texas (TXST) should be OK, and Georgia Southern's been to 13 regionals and 2 CWS.

Yep. What we NEED in CUSA is 3 schools within 150 miles of LSU. Surround them on three sides, any everyone will HAVE to pay attention.

Dim bulb, S AL, Troy and Louisiana are traditionally stronger than anything CUSA has to offer in baseball. Maybe you happened to notice that Louisiana was ranked #1 in college baseball for a good portion of the season last year. Of course you're a UAB fan, so maybe you didnt notice... drrrrrrr.....

It seems as though Troy beat UAB in baseball 7-2 in April 2014. So Troy has won the last game between you guys. Any other questions?
Look, I don't hate UAB or wish for their football program to go away, but casting shade on Troy baseball isn't really a good idea.
