Well, it looks like they lost the fight. They should be happy that they have a rival that's only 30 miles away.

Perhaps. I would not be surprised to see SMU bail on the AAC at the first chance it gets, especially now. It's all about perception for their fans. They have always looked down at North Texas when it comes to football and academics. The reality is probably that a regional conference is best for everyone. I liked having 4 Texas schools in CUSA and was afraid that was going to be broken up. Instead, it may just be moving and replacing SMU with UTEP. I really feel bad for UTEP :(

Anyway, it's still not official.

CUAAC 3.5

We are by no means left damaged, hurt yes....but a smart leader can forge a plan with what's left.

Fire Judy and hire Jim Delaney. Go hard after CBS.

There are options for the remaining 8.

A Sun Belt merger, adding Liberty and JMU...

We can EASILY come out of this as the stronger confidence.

Totally agree the only real loss here is UAB, the rest were dead weight basically that are located in metro areas.

Invite Appy, Lafayette, Coastal and Texas State

He's ridiculously stupid. He said inside sources had the last two AAC spots coming down to Marshall , southern miss and la tech . Some la tech fans are smart and I've talked to them. Won't miss this moron at all

Yeah. There were even bigger predictions by hog dog…esp on the LTU site.

I know we must accept this invite (as would any of the CUSA schools), but I do have mixed emotions. I really enjoy playing USM, LT and Marshall and I get the feeling this parting may be long term. The AAC seems to be where the city schools are gravitating and those 3 just don’t fit that mold.

Factor #1. Just imagine Memphis or Wichita State showing up a FAU or UTSA for conference game. I highly doubt they’re going to upgrade in the AAC

You are exactly right. This is really a net positive for the conference. Leaner and better IMO. Only loss was UAB and FAU baseball the rest have been a drag on CUSA

I’m surprised that ODU wasn’t extended an invite to the AAC

But with a core of Tech, ODU, Marshall, UTEP, USM and WKU in basketball we could invite JMU, Coastal, Appy for the east.
Then invite Lafayette for the west. Those four invites would benefit all 3 major sports.

Conference USA is more than likely going to bring on a new commissioner, new corporate offices, and will probably enter into a new media deal all within the next year.

It's a blank slate, so I don't know. I think anything's on the table at this point.

No offense but the slate is not all blank at this time, and a whole lot of things would have to happen before any of the items you mention actually come to fruition. If they even actually happen.

Why would the conference headquarters stay in Dallas. There's only 1 remaining Texas team and it is nowhere near Dallas. Why would any commissioner who has overseen the downfall of cusa be allowed to stay as commisioner.
