JMU is dying to get out of the CAA so there is your #7 and I think MO St would be interested as #8 and would feel comfortable being in a conference with WKU and MTSU.

Once you get back to a stable 8, then you can pick from ASun and WAC schools interested in upgrading while also making NMSU and Liberty feel more comfortable they are not jumping on a sinking ship.

My concern is that if they get down to 6, the remaining schools will find other options.

If CUSA gets down to 6, nobody's going to have any other options because those options will be full from raiding CUSA.

UAB, Charlotte, FAU, UTSA to the AAC
USM, Marshall, ODU, WKU to the SBC
Rice and UNT to the MWC

LaTech, UTEP, MTSU, FIU on an island.

Maybe MTSU to the MAC, LaTech to the AAC/MWC or SBC in place of WKU with WKU joining MTSU in the MAC. UTEP might be forced to the WAC + Indy. FIU could honestly just drop to FCS.

Not probable in the slightest. But possible I suppose.
