From a recency standpoint, the mini Florida twins have been underwhelming. I’m not sure being in the Sun Belt would do more than create more regional games which might develop recruiting in the region enhancing the on-field play.

Actually almost all the SB schools that moved were doing pretty poorly in football. It was like they picked the worst football programs. But of course, what they did was pick the schools with the largest budgets, pretty much right down the line.
And they are mostly doing better in football since the move.

At the time, the CUSA had much better coverage and TV contract dollars. But with the change in membership, that went away.

The teams that are unhappy in CUSA are schools that never should have been invited in the first place, former Sun Belt basketball schools with new football programs, ODU and UNCC.

Right - that’s why I said the SBC is better in football and CUSA is better in basketball.
