This is was bound to happen. People WANTED to be FBS. People WANTED to play big boy football. ODU has never had the finances to be stable in FBS, the writing was on the wall from day 1.

This is the second sport ODU has cut in the last couple of years.

True. But what we joined paid $1million more per year, and had a popular regional rival. This is partially a result of CUSAs (Judy’s) complete incompetence in securing a proper media deal and payout. UTep would be crazy nit to join the MW if given a chance. It’s basically AAC west. I also think FBS independence is preferable because at least you only fly football all across the country (6times at most). Everything else could be in a better, more logical and interesting conference like the A10.
