NTR.

Seriously, good addition for CUSA.

I agree. Great basketball history.

Bobby Petrino

Good basketball and haven't they had some decent football?

What will we do when the new C-USA ranks higher than the new, 'Big', whatever it will be called? W. Kentucky is a good addition to C-USA.

I forget how long they've had a FB team, but they moved up to D-1 only a few years ago. And yes, they've had decent success in that short time, beating some of the good Sunbelt teams no one expected them to and got a Bowl game.

cusa is trying to stay above the Sunbelt not surpass anyone.

W Ky -U solidified their cusa credentials by hiring a discraced coach.

Especially after UConn and Cincy are asked out, and Temple then goes back to the A-10, C-USA will probably get more tourney bids than our new group. If Middle Tenn stays good, with WKy and Old Dominion, and possibly UNC-Charlotte and UTEP, C-USA could get 3 bids, more if the stars align. Southern Miss might not go backwards from this year, and thus be a contender for a bid. UAB has tourney history. Don't know if they'll ever get it back though.

Other than its stupid name, that's going to be a neat football conference . . . Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State, Southern Mississippi, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Texas-El Paso, Rice, Tulsa (at least temporarily). If they were to add Arkansas State and Missouri State, they might generate more state-wide news interest.

Welp.. they have their new basketball bully..

looks like uab has found its new rival

Good fit. The only schools that CUSA added that make you wonder are the Florida Schools. Market prevails I guess.

Grip 'n Sip.

I would have rather seen Western Kentucky invited to the Big East than Tulane. I have to wonder if the catholic schools would still be here if that happened.

Not me. Trips to New Orleans or trips to Bowling Green?

A better addition than F_U and UTSA, in my opinion.

They've had football a long time, just not FBS. Always been D-1 as long as I can remember.
