SBC needs a championship game by 2014. Looks like JMU and Mo St will not commit. I say I'd they will not accept, it is time to go after Umass for football. This gives us a much needed 12th for the championship game.

Why?

Because we won't be bowl eligible and we need a postseason game. 04-cheers

Benson stressed how important a championship game is in terms of credibility, tv etc which got us to 11. Now he needs to finish the drill and umass may be the only option to make it happen.

JMU won't happen.
MO St is highly unlikely
UMass may be in an Idaho type situation needing a home.

Since there has been talk of the MAC demanding UMass go all sports instead of just football, and even some talk of them wanting a Grant of Rights from UMass, what about offering UMass football only and making NMSU a full member.

U Mass? This is a New England State right? The far Northeast. Hardly fits the footprint. Drop Idaho, and do not bring in U Mass. NMSU is a stretch but these two are just insane.

Need that championship game on ESPN for the recruits to see. In Dec CUSA will be telling the recruits to tune in and watch the game on ESPN while we have nothing to show. Every recruit wants to be in the NFL and on ESPN.

People watch like 2 championship games on TV. SEC and whoever else is in the running for the National Title.

I'm talking specifically about recruits who are paying close attention to the schools they have offers from.

Recruits want to be on ESPN and sportscenter. If CUSA is on and we are not, that is an advantage.

There is some question as to whether the MAC will pull the trigger to either force UMass to bring all sports in or take its football elsewhere.

If that happened, then UMass might decide to park in the Belt on a temporary contract so they could stay in the A-10.

That's the thinking. We don't need UMass. We don't need JMU. We didn't need Idaho.

UMass football only makes as much sense as Idaho football only

Thanks for that post --- and for standing up for some geographical sanity. I miss the days when schools were in conferences because that was their neighborhood, not because of $$.
