Idaho was just and example. But this NEW C-USA is turning into a mini-sec.

If Tulsa and Southern Miss leave to big east. But prolly just Tulsa leaves hten they get replaced with western kentucky or are they already in? Even so I think we should stay 14 schools for football and add 2 basketball only schools.
My Top 5 choices for basketball schools
1.Creighton
2. UMASS
3. Saint Louis
4. george mason
5. VCU
the point is if you want to make utep happy C-USA needs to add some good basketball programs. I think if C-usa does that UTEP fans will be happy.

UMASS is way too far out of the CUSA footprint. Why would we add them?

RE: Expansion question Why not target some western schools??
I don't see any reason for CUSA to add to west. Utep right now has no where to go. And if the MWC does call in a couple of years, it may well make sense to kiss them goodbye, and consolidate, and shrink footprint.

Who's to say the nBE won't go after a MAC team? Closer to the nBE footprint. Well, sort of.

isnt umass in boston? is that too far it would only be for basketball. I I would rather have Xavier and Buter but i think they will join the Catholic 7. Actually any A-10 school would be fine. St. Joes,La Salle ,GW or Rhode Island would be good with me. I think once the C7 pick Butler and Xavier and prolly VCU. C-USA should pick from the best thats left before the Big East does.

if we weren't talking about the nBE, I would say, "everyone that isn't currently on lithium". but since it is the nBE, we can only assume that the only reason that they haven't done this is because they simply haven't thought of it yet.
