Longrun I don't think it's feasible with it stretched out to the four ends of the earth like it currently is. If anyone kills off CUSA I think it would be the WAC coming back into the FBS and convincing Sam Houston, New Mexico State and maybe UTEP to defect back over to a more regionally-focused conference. They could prove me wrong but going from El Paso to Lynchburg will get old pretty fast.

CUSA is the 1st conference to really be spread out and not make since geographically. From CUSA1.0 to CUSA Zombie. The 1st incarnation of CUSA stretched from Houston TX (Houston) to Milwaukee, WI (Marquette). The 2nd incarnation from El Paso TX (UTEP) to Greenville NC (ECU) and the 3rd El Paso TX (UTEP) to Norfolk VA (ODU). The next one will survive also from El Paso TX (UTEP) to Lynchburg VA (Liberty). It does get old after a while though. Especially if you have conference leaders that cater to a certain group.
