From the last expansion round to this one C-USA went from a conference who could take from other non-BCS leagues (WAC & SBC) to a league that was raided by one of those very conferences.

We obviously can’t go back and change history but what could C-USA have done differently to better position themselves?

Let’s stick with the guidelines that we can’t mess with the timeline of when C-USA was raided (obviously things would have gone differently had the Big East/AAC did all of their raiding all at once as opposed to over a protracted period of time).

Personally I think they needed to sign a better tv contract and not over-expand to 14.
