They are running out if options. Also don't be surprised if Jacksonville State gets an invite. The SBC has already toured the campus.
Will USA, Troy, and even Ga State be okay with that? Of course, they may not have a choice.

The fact that the SBC has taken Idaho shows just how badly they do not want Jacksonville State. I would not be surprised if they went after Kennesaw State rather than go after Jacksonville.

Nah, Liberty would be ahead of Kennesaw.

Western Blazer asked "Will USA, Troy, and even Ga State be okay with that? Of course, they may not have a choice.". I don't see why USA or GA State would care, the choice between Mobile, Atlanta, or Jacksonville would probably not result in Jacksonville. However, the choice between Troy and Jacksonville could be devastating for the boys from Troy.
Well scratch that, with it being Ga. Southern and not Ga. State. But I still think the odds do not favor Troy.

Why would C-USA add three unless we are losing three?

We are going to 16 teams.
Would 16 keep us in the East? I would want 9 conference games if we go past 14 teams.
East:
WKU
MTSU
ODU
UNCC
Marshall
FIU
FAU
UAB
West:
ASU
ULL
La Tech
USM
UTSA
UTEP
Rice
North Texas

When UConn and Cincy leave old BE we probably lose 2. If ACC is gutted and 6 teams leave for Big 10, Big 12, and SEC, and the old BE backfills from CUSA, we'll need even more...

If C*USA is losing two more, would it not stand to reason that we could be one of the two? If Tulsa and Southern Miss leave we are left as the only surviving original member of C*USA.

It could also be Charlotte and ODU that leave for the 'Murica-## conference if we don't start looking really attractive soon.

Our facilities, or lack thereof, and our well-chronicled problems with the BOT probably have us on the outside looking at what has already happened and what mught happen.
I mean would you want to take on a college I can't make it's own decisions?
