That would be horrible for CUSA, but for obvious reasons I think that that is exactly what is exactly going to be happening, because the numbers say that Rice and ECU will be meeting for the title.

I agree with you. Nothing against ECU and the decision you made (all of us would probably leave the current C-USA for the MWC or AAC although that could change if UTSA, North Texas, Florida Atlantic, Middle Tennessee, and others keep raising their programs), and I wish you the best in your new conference home. But I would rather the ESPN announcers say everyone expected Tulsa and ECU to be here, and it is a measure of the strength of C-USA that the championship is between Rice and Marshall instead.
