But that is worth it for Tulsa (and the "CUSA defectors"), because ending up where you started is better than ending up behind where you started.

I firmly believe that if CUSA had not aggressively back filled and expanded like they did, the CHSA "defectors" would just go back and things would continue as they were. However, in CUSA's expansion, they have taken steps back that will take a few years of program development to make up for.

Its worth it for Tulsa apparently, if they do go and I expect they will. But in the world of conference realignment it is a gamble unlike getting an invite to a more secure and stable conference like the ACC or even the MWC.

CUSA was and remains a great confernce

Uhmnn....NOT.

Great, no, but it was a very solid conference from 1996-2004. If the new Big Whatever has the on the field and court success of the original C-USA that wouldn't be a bad thing in the least.
