It would make more sense for Marshall to get involved with that over a split CUSA.

Rice, UAB and So Miss have 40,000 seaters and should try for the AAC.

A10 has too many schools in it to use it as launch pad for a FBS conference.

The first two sentences are nonsense. WVU? UCONN football? And army who hasn't shown any interest in conferences? Unless one of us go Independent then we have to stick together to keep the autobid. I know there's been some debate about this on this board whether the rules were changed after the MWC formed but at this point or at least at the point we'll be at if this comes to fruition I doubt the NCAA would deny the autobid. Everyone will try for the AAC but what's left of CUSA when the dust settles should split. Hell, the AAC might be wise to split when the dust settles.

The A10 FBS conference is nonsensical.

Think playoff money.

Army in the past was no to conferences but with the playoff money involved you are almost stupid to turn down conference affiliation.

So why don't they join the AAC?

And on what planet is West Virginia and Marshall going to share a conference? Besides in soccer i reckon.
