The travel savings just wouldn't be enough to make up for the loss of CFP and TV money of any G5 league.

Plus C-USA has a better basketball line-up than anything the WAC offers except NMSU. The Aggies don't really count because they're on the schedule for a home and home regardless.

A conference that has UTEP, UAB, Western Kentucky, Old Dominion, Charlotte and Middle Tennessee has not excuses for being a one-bid league even if the rest suck. None.

GCU has turned into a very solid program so the WAC isn't as bad as it was in the past, but I agree. The CUSA has very seriously underachieved with the pieces they have. A lineup like that should put the conference around the same level as the MVC.

As for the one bid thing, you're not going to see any mid-majors apart from the A10 or occasionally the WCC get more than one bid anymore. The NCAA has decided they'd rather see 18-win high-major teams get in than 26-win mid-majors.
