RE: My Suggestion for Expansion: Raid CUSA (seriously)
I don't think the idea its so far fetch, if their new tv contract isn't as profitable as the last, which, I got to think its not going to be, than what real advantage does conference USA have over us? Their basketball is just as bad as ours, basically, a 1 bid conference, infact, Charlotte just had their best returning player announce his transfer, I believe that's 4 or 5 since they fired their coach, unless the new coach, Mark Price is a miracle worker, their going to be bad for atleast 3 or4 years. I think overall, the SBC has better non revenue sports than USA, and football, I don't think its close with how both App and Georgia Southern have come in and strengthen the overall conference. Where I disagree with you, is I don't see us raiding USA, but I think, because of travel cost , and the desire to have close, natural rivals, I think you could see a USA and SBC combining to form a super conference of mid majors, I don't think it will happen anytime soon, probably not in the next 10 years, but I think its something they will atleast consider.
