So here's what I think M-USA Baseball would look like:

ECU
Marshall
UAB
USM
Tulane
Rice
UNLV
New Mexico
Air Force

UNLV, New Mexico, and Air Force replace UH, UCF, and Memphis. overall, it's a slight downgrade, but some powerful prgrams remain.

In any sport, a school's program is as good as its most recent recruiting classes and its investment in coaches and FACILITIES. Since players are only around for a few years at most, a program can fluctuate greatly over a few years. We may be about to see this happen in the UAB football program with its improvement in coaching and recruits. From my perspective, C-USA has seen a great improvement in its coaching talent in all sports over the past few years and it will pay dividends in the near future.
