If anything, the CUSA will be raiding the SBC if we happen to lose teams during this re-alignment period.

Yep. Sun Belt fans assume that ESPN would redo their TV contract with Marshall and Southern Miss added. Sun Belt is looking to go to 12 in football with revenue split 14 ways as long as Arkansas-Little Rock and Texas-Arlington are still in the conference. If CUSA loses only 4 to the AAC or Mountain West, the conference could remain at 10 and increase its TV revenue shares per school with fewer mouths.

There's some logical fallacies here: The Sun Belt under no circumstance is going to expand without the mothership's approval. That thing was all agreed upon very quickly by the League Presidents.

Also, you seem to be under the idea that UTA and LR participate in conference revenue streams the way others do. They don't. As non football members, they don't see any profit that comes from the football side of the league, which is roughly 90 percent of our profits. The only profits they share is NCAA Units and whatever we make off of conference sponsorship deals.
