Well, some of us have people that buy tickets and donate to the basketball program. So there's very real economic concerns. One bid league or no people aren't going to get as excited to see us play Sun Belt teams as they are CUSA teams. It took a hit coming from the CAA honestly but with VCU and GMU heading for the door we needed to look at our options as well. If basketball doesn't matter to you then only the number of bids matters, if it does then there are other things that matters.

VCU and GMU brought fans, no one in CUSA is bringing 1,000 fans to an ODU baskeball game. Even if they did we're talking about a 10k impact in revenue per game.

Basketball doesn't drive the bus in one-bid leagues.
