This guy sure would. I advocated for all three of you the last go around.

It would make my day to drop the Texas schools (nothing against them other than they are in Texas) and then add App State, Ga Southern, Troy....I'd even let you all decide the other school to bring in lol

Let me guess. You're above 40 years old and a long time fan.

Lot's of great points for the good and the bad but the fact that CUSA has better basketball and the SB is making a strong position in football solidifies it. Those at the top are where they want/need to be and those at the bottom are indifferent. No changes in the foreseeable future.

I'm actually early 30's but yes, been a Marshall fan since I was born.

I truly think that if the best/biggest programs/brands in CUSA/Sun Belt got together then we could get on that MWC/AAC level. Under the current format, CUSA/Sun Belt/MAC will basically be arguing over who is the #3 conference most years.

I'm not going to get in to naming all the teams or anything but imagine the top teams sharing a conference together.

Forget all this trading/swapping teams. All that will do is make a more regional crap conference. Give me the top teams/programs (in football & men's basketball) and let's make a good G5 conference with fan bases and history we can build off of.

I’m looking to dodge some spitballs here but I’m of the mindset that regional rivalries are the best way to go. Georgia hates Florida and we compete for the same recruits. Alabama is in the same boat. GS will be packaged with App for the foreseeable future and little sister Coastal is comes along to complete the family. Pepper in whoever can add to the intensity of the regional makeup and we’re good.

Absolutely. Been preaching this for years. Used the previous make-up of the ACC as my example. The ACC Tournament used to be a huge deal around here. The outright insanity of the fans was nuts. Syracuse playing Miami creates no interest at all. That only surfaces these days when Dook & unc-cheat play.
