Troy benefited the most in realignment. You lose meaningless games with FIU, FAU and NT and replace them with potential great rivalries with Ga Southern, App and possibly GaSt

I agree.
At least in the short term, they'll have the easiest road to the conference title game for at least 2-3 years.

Believe me, I'm really excited. I totally feel as if we are the big winners.
Not.

We will average much much better and like I said if you happen to see a game of aluminum fans vs. a pretty place such as Boone with fans there or an Ark St Troy game or UL and Ark St. game the causual fan will then have a much different perception about SBC vs. CUSA.......YEA UAB, YEA FAU, YEA FIU, YEAH all the others who may have a 10-12K average and reality is maybe fewer.....

This. Perceptions can and will change.
Also helps recruiting.

That would be a good addition (geographically), however I don't know much about their team. What happened that made them go from a 2011, 12-2 bowl game winning season, to a 2012, 0-12 season?

Coaching change that was a very poor hire. Led to the coach being fired after a year. They had to sell their home game against Nebraska back to the Huskers to get the money for the buyout. Last I heard, financially hard times were falling on them because of that. Don't know if there's teeth to that rumor though.
