We all know how that turned out.

I mean not really, since I think the Sun Belt might make more in TV revenue than C-USA, or at the very least the difference is so close it's not even worth distinguishing. I don't really think there's much point in schools from either league moving from one to the other, but maybe if the AAC took 2 C-USA members that would tip the balance toward the Sun-Belt.

Sun Belt has taken home more CFP money four of the past five seasons than CUSA by placing higher in the rankings used for performance money and has signed an extension with ESPN that increases appearance on linear TV both weeknight and Saturday appearances

Not that this is going to happen, but for me if there were some scenario where enough teams left the AAC to dissolve it and ECU had to join another league I'd want it to be the Sun-Belt at this point. I feel like there's at least an identity and cohesion to the Sun-Belt, and the schools for the most part make sense to be in a league together.

ECU and Marshall to the Sunbelt would be about as perfect as it could get for App St.
