I didn't see that in Minium's article, excellent writer or not. A FBS-only home for football is not Wood's call, it is CUSA's. And I just haven't seen the precedent in our league. But perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. Til then, I'll assume we're 100% in like everyone else.

It's fascinating. One minute we're trying to make the CUSA case for JMU, then it's the case for Liberty, now it's just ODU move everything away from the league except football. My neck is hurting from reading all these awesome opinions.

There is a precedent for football only membership in CUSA. Army was a football-only member from 1998-2005. My big take away from that: We are not Army. My personal take away: The A-10 is not that exciting enough of a reason to split up the marquee sports. Now if this was the new Big East sure but the A-10 just doesn't have that sizzle. I'm not saying I would not warm to the idea after a few home and homes with Mason and Richmond Trade School.
