Needs to be out front leading the charge for the conference. He is not a leader and never has been. Way to passive for my taste. Need a guy with some back bone that is willing to stand up and say hell no this is not acceptable.

He thinks the conference is a stepping stone. He has said as much many times. Yes, he is a big part of the problem.

He knows he'll get his fat paycheck regardless. He is the definition of apathetic.

The conference really needs to have a plan for branding. Especially for the Basketball side of the Conference. He has got to get us in the conversation on the national stage. We need a TV contract that is better than what we saw this year. The TV exposure was sad.

It's not a matter of branding. It's a matter of having a commissioner that doesn't think his conference is a tinker toy.

Who said that?

Who made those statements publicly?

Windywave's wife?

Harsh, no?

Waters left it in a mess and Bensons best days were in the 90s

In basketball what does the conference need to do?

At this point as much as I hate to say it bringing us (Ga. Southern) and App into the league does not help in basketball-- at least right now.

I think we both help in football alot, although it may take a couple of years or so and I think we both will help in baseball also.

Why would you post a long ass quote and not say who SAID THE QUOTE?

I believe there is a difference between conference president and conference commissioner. Is Troy's Jack Hawkins not the SBC President?

CUSAsessed much?

CajunFanatico… wtf man? Why would you post this and try to make it look like something it's not? All I had to do was copy and paste the first line of your "quote" into google, and guess what popped up? CSNBBS CUSA thread.

Here it is for everyone to see… http://csnbbs.com/thread-682153.html He took all these quotes and made it look like one guy said it, and also took out the CUSA wording and made it seem like someone talking about the Sun Belt.

I don't get you Fanatico. Hate to call out one of my own, but that's BS.

I thought it was about the SBC ...

And again to clarify (at last in the SBC) there is a difference between conference president and conference commissioner.

Doubt it.

Yep, the Troy guy pretty much runs things.

I do understand the Ark. St. objection to the guideline/rule about conference champions and bowls from last season. Hopefully with more bowls moving forward that issue will not occur again.

I am not really a supporter or opponent of Commissioner Benson at this point. App and Ga. Southern have him to thank at least in part for us being in this conference. We also know the Troy AD was a big supporter of both of us.

The truth is, you could probably find something like this said about most G5 commissioners right now.
