Here is a twist...

What is working against each C-USA program? If you believe there are other obstacles that apply to a program add them.

North Texas- SMU in the AAC
UAB- Only 2 seasons removed from death, & low athletic budget
Rice- Small enrollment, & Houston is in the AAC
ODU- Too new with no sustained success, stadium is too small, & bad attendance
MTSU- Bad attendance
FIU- Bad attendance & UCF and USF are in the AAC
FAU- Bad attendance & UCF and USF are in the AAC
WKU- Bad attendance, no current success, & no market
UTSA- No current success, bad facilities, & too new
Marshall- Too small, & #70 market
Southern Miss- Too small, too poor, & no market
LA Tech- Too small, too poor, & no market
UTEP- Too far away, no current success, bad attendance, too poor
Charlotte- Too new, no success, bad attendance, and stadium is too small

I think the program that can overcome their particular obstacle(s) could get the spot in the AAC.
