RE: Breaking: NMSu, Liberty, SHSU & Jax State to CUSA
Anyone who denied that ESPN is really running college sports, look no further than the SBC/C-USA developments.

Marshall and ODU were rumored to be wanting to make a C-USA split, because the TV money was terrible and the Texas/Florida group of C-USA was bad at basketball.

The eastern five of C-USA, plus the two of the three best of the west could be a really good start to a league: Marshall, ODU, Charlotte, MTSU, WKU, UAB, and La Tech -- add in Liberty and Buffalo and you're looking at a solid football league and a 1.5-bid basketball league.

The split plan wanted to get away from: Rice, UTSA and FAU.

C-USA after the AAC raid was ACTUALLY BETTER ON PAPER than the old C-USA. But Marshall, ODU and So Miss wanted to GTFO for the Sun Belt. the only real reason for that is ESPN: the SBC TV deal is better. Competitively, it makes more sense for C-USA to take Coastal, App St, Lafayette and Ga State.
