If Delaware was added they would be like the 2nd closest school to Marshall after App State. They'd be a buss trip for ODU. Idk why people keep thinking Delaware is up in the north east.

Marshall's SBCE travel....

Ohio University - 78 miles 1H 32M driving time
Appalachian State - 271 miles 4H 39M driving time
Western Kentucky - 278 miles 4H 18M driving time
Liberty - 279 miles 4H 46M driving time
James Madison - 287 miles 4H 30M driving time
Old Dominion - 457 miles 7H 7M driving time
Coastal Carolina - 472 miles 7H 37M driving time
Delaware - 473 miles 7H 20M driving time
Georgia State - 483 miles 7H 19M driving time
Georgia Southern - 557 miles 8H 43M driving time

Exactly, that guy just doesn’t know where Delaware is

Couldn't count the number of trips I've made to Delaware over the years. Ohio, WKU, Liberty, and JMU (pending) arent in the conference. Coastal has them beat by a single mile but UD 17 minutes closer. Splitting atoms there.

Seriously can we get WKU out of any discussion. They aren't the look.

Did you miss ODU in there? I think he listed the others to show Delaware is the furthest of the schools being discussed.

Yeah, I just dont really see 16 miles / 13 minutes as that detrimental to the case of being an outlier. (Its closer to my house)

Liberty is such the obvious choice it is a "no brainer." But, perhaps, they have been approached and have not expressed an interest in leaving CUSA for the Belt. Would be embarrassing for the Belt to make LU an offer and get publicly turned down. All such matters will be handled behind closed doors for that very reason.

If it turns out to be Ohio or someone else, that is fine too. But the same question comes up, is Ohio really interested in leaving the MAC, which has been a very stable league for so many years.

100 times no.

Give me Delaware first. The problem with Liberty is they have so much money and no restrictions as a private school. They can buy a championship outright and simply outspend us all. And their fanbase is similar to JMU in terms of cockiness, though I doubt they like to party as much :). If we have to add Liberty, I hope they come as a package with Delaware and WKU or not at all.

Furthest from Marshall. Only Liberty is closer to ODU than Delaware.

The question essentially boils down to who can afford exit fees? That's Liberty and Delaware out of CUSA and the MAC schools: Ohio, Miami, and Toledo until that conference decides to raise it to $10 mil. Those have to be the top 5 at this point, in some order.

Kinda. But if Marshall or App left and ULM dropped football, suddenly it makes more sense.

If Marshall left, adding Ohio and Delaware would make LESS sense. Ohio is a really small stretch of the current borders to get a program with a lot of history that would likely be better if they weren't relegated to weeknight games. Without Marshall already right there though, we'd be better off pulling a school more centralized.

Delaware was a JMU add. Marshall is nowhere near Delaware. I’d replace them with Lib. Coincidentally, JMU was the biggest obstacle to adding Liberty. JMU is gone. We don’t need to placate them. Take the team that actually adds value to our athletics. This is getting stupid.

Very likely The only schools w the $$ to afford the move (exit Fees$, etc) and they have the Fan Base to support their Admin's decisions to move to the SunBelt after we offer them:
Liberty, Delaware and Ohio.

It’s in the Mid-Atlantic, which is in the northeast. It’s not in New England, that would be absurd, but it’s still stretching the footprint even more for no good reason

I don't particularly want Delaware, but the West schools, especially ULM (who I enjoy sharing a conference with) should be veeeery open about who the East wants to add. The conference added a third school on one state to financially help some schools which caused a handful of East schools to question 'what the hell are we doing here'

Should "the east" schools have "the" say on which school replaces JMU? I don't know, has that ever happened (a division getting to make the choice) and/or is that SBC accepted practice? Personally, I advocate for the addition of Liberty. I think they are, without question, the 101% perfect, most logical choice to replace JMU. LU is so PERFECT a choice I think it borders on insanity not to offer them. Of course, maybe LU will say no thanks. Perhaps they already have.

In the end be it Ohio, Delaware, or some other school, I won't dwell on it for more than about 30 seconds. Like a lot of schools (most!) Tech has been in many conferences with wildly shifting memberships over the years and decades. And be it Ohio, Delaware or whomever this will NOT be the end of the changes to the list of our conference mates.

Off the top of my head, as I recall, Tech has been in 7 or 8 different conferences since our days in Division II, which ended about 55 years ago. Unique conference mates? Just a guess (since I don't feel like looking it up right now) but that number easily surpasses 30 and is likely close to 40. Delaware and Liberty won't add to that total, but Ohio would.

One of these days I'll figure out why everyone's so keen on Bibberty comin' in pushin' their agenda with their deep pockets and their empty stadium because 90% of their students are online.... (or I'll figure out National politics first)

The SBC would keep itself in contention as one of the top G6 football leagues, and expand our brand further out.

Okay, but what we're arguing about is "If Delaware was added they would be like the 2nd closest school to Marshall". They'd be the 4th closest and any of the other potential adds would be closer. For ODU we'd need someone to post the same schools and distances.

I've never seen a Liberty fan pushing an agenda...it's all in your head man. If we can handle JMU fans we can handle Liberty.

Well let me be the first my agenda is pushing Kenny State to the SBC. Forget LU we suck but Kenny State…..now that’s big time.

The conference added a third school on one state to financially help some schools which caused a handful of East schools to question 'what the hell are we doing here'

Should "the east" schools have "the" say on which school replaces JMU? I don't know, has that ever happened (a division getting to make the choice) and/or is that SBC accepted practice? Personally, I advocate for the addition of Liberty. I think they are, without question, the 101% perfect, most logical choice to replace JMU. LU is so PERFECT a choice I think it borders on insanity not to offer them. Of course, maybe LU will say no thanks. Perhaps they already have.

In the end be it Ohio, Delaware, or some other school, I won't dwell on it for more than about 30 seconds. Like a lot of schools (most!) Tech has been in many conferences with wildly shifting memberships over the years and decades. And be it Ohio, Delaware or whomever this will NOT be the end of the changes to the list of our conference mates.

Off the top of my head, as I recall, Tech has been in 7 or 8 different conferences since our days in Division II, which ended about 55 years ago. Unique conference mates? Just a guess (since I don't feel like looking it up right now) but that number easily surpasses 30 and is likely close to 40. Delaware and Liberty won't add to that total, but Ohio would.

One of these days I'll figure out why everyone's so keen on Bibberty comin' in pushin' their agenda with their deep pockets and their empty stadium because 90% of their students are online.... (or I'll figure out National politics first)

This is like my hard sell to the MAC that they should grab up UMass before CUSA had the chance (which worked).

I don't think it's going to work here. But kudos for trying.
