I find it hard to believe a player being recruited at that level could get excited about playing for their conference championship in that setting ( unless they were from Texas). Guess I was wrong on that count. I assume the format and location didn’t change this year. Haven’t followed CUSA this year.

Wouldn’t all other schools be handicapped too? Kind of a silly point.

Sure they would, or at least I thought they would. My point was FAU blew that theory up. I shouldn’t have been giving Jones that excuse for his recruiting misses or inability to keep players on his roster.

Jones isn’t hamstrung by anything other than himself. He has one of the best budgets, facilities, and recruiting locations in CUSA or the SB.
