C-USA is viewed as a bad conference because......
The bottom of the conference drags down the top so much. In football and basketball the bottom teams are some of the worst in FBS and Div. 1.
FAU - Not even trying to put a decent team out there for football (2-7) or basketball (8-25) last year
UTSA - had a better year at football than I thought (5-4) yet one of the worst basketball teams in the country (5-27)
Rice - Just terrible, football (1-8) basketball (12-20).
C-USA had more basketball teams with 20+ losses (5) than with 20+ wins (4).
Sunbelt is the only conference in football that had more teams with 4 wins or less than C-USA (8 to 7).
Please bottom of the league, stop being so bad and ruining it for the teams that are trying to improve in the sports that matter.

I don't think he said anything bad about your football....this year. The problem is your football team may win more games than your basketball team.

Geesh, not this crap again. Everything is cyclical, as you're seeing with UTSA Football this year (Also Charlotte, USM and Marshall). This applies to Basketball as well. We have a new coach, a new system and new recruits. Get off your damn soapbox and worry about your own programs. We have to worry about ours and our hopes are we have an improving Basketball team this year as well. Give it a rest.

I see baseball as a sport that matters. Some schools in CUSA don't even field a team

It doesn't. It's nice to have...but Football and Men's Basketball are what matters.

My gripe with some programs in this league is they treat basketball like it doesn't matter from a facilities standpoint. I know none of us are beauty queen but seeing some of the gyms we have to play in is frustrating.

Yes, but we have also had 9 20 win seasons in the past 12 years, 4 NCAA tourney appearances (1-4 record), 2 NIT appearences (6-2 record), 2 postseason tournament wins and went to a postseason tournament every year except that bad year. We also dont play in a high school gym, and are building an $8.4 million dollar practice facility.

so what you are saying is that ODU has had more NCAA appearances in the past 12 years, than UTSA, and they still have the same amount of wins in the NCAA tournament?
