Especially after UConn and Cincy are asked out, and Temple then goes back to the A-10, C-USA will probably get more tourney bids than our new group. If Middle Tenn stays good, with WKy and Old Dominion, and possibly UNC-Charlotte and UTEP, C-USA could get 3 bids, more if the stars align. Southern Miss might not go backwards from this year, and thus be a contender for a bid. UAB has tourney history. Don't know if they'll ever get it back though.
Other than its stupid name, that's going to be a neat football conference . . . Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State, Southern Mississippi, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Texas-El Paso, Rice, Tulsa (at least temporarily). If they were to add Arkansas State and Missouri State, they might generate more state-wide news interest.
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more MEMPHIS should just reject the Metro Conference and rejoin that juggernaut C-USA.
Why travel to Orlando, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Hartford, New Orleans, Dallas, and Houston when major travel venues like Ruston, Denton TX, Bowling Green KY, Birmingham, Murfreesboro, etc are there for taking? Plus possibly adding Jonesboro and Springfield MO a bit later??
Finally, you envision C-USA being a BB dynamo in a few seasons.
No doubt, C-USA rocks the house.
