But D-I conferences appear to be immortal. You can't kill them if you tried.

Lots of Florida, Georgia, and Texas 2* guys would be 3* if they played in the Rust Belt. 2* players aren't all equal, and the Southern states have more of them and a deeper talent level even at that ranking.

Dude. CUSA is dead last right now until some of the FCS call-ups prove themselves. The remaining schools haven't been good enough to carry NMSU and all the FCS schools. You'll surpass the MAC, as I've argued, but I doubt CUSA even gets past the Sun Belt in performance or perception. Sun Belt has some dead weight like ULM, but adding Marshall and Southern Miss to the lineup is a huge boost. You'll need every CUSA school punching at or above their weight to get past the Sun Belt. There's a reason that Marshall, USM, and Old Dominion left CUSA for the Sun Belt.

And while the AAC overexpanded - Aresco is a moron for going to 14 - they still have several top tier G5 programs, plus UTSA is about to take off. If USF gets it together, they'd have 4-5 of the top 7 or 8 programs in the G5.

May need to get out from under your rock sometime. Your living in a dream world.

Could you provide data to your claim that C-USA is ahead of every G5 except the MWC?

Can you provide data they are not?
