FIU will be good in football again, no doubt in my mind about that. This conference is all about the future and having 2 schools in Florida will be a good thing.

You can start with post #32.

There are other sports as well we finished ahead of Marshall just last year (women's track and field, women's golf, and women's swimming and diving). Just 3 years ago FIU football team was playing the school the ignorants in this thread apparently follow in the St. Petersburg Bowl game. The previous year, FIU won the Detroit Little Caesars Bowl game vs. Toledo.

Baseball, while down the last 3 years or so, have been in NCAA post season 9 times, and is consistently a very good program as well.

Sand Volleyball, last season FIU finished 5th in the national championships.

Of course, we bring an area of recruiting (in every sport, but especially in football) which most fellow C-USA teams can benefit into tapping into, while yes, bringing in a big market to the fold.

Education. Taking away Rice away from the rest of C-USA (they are in another league educationally), FIU ranks among the top half in C-USA in pretty much every single parameter of importance (number of students, entering freshmen GPA's, SAT's and ACT's, Research expenditures, % admitted freshmen students from applicants, College of Medicine, College of Law, Endowment, and other parameters). Take into consideration that FIU opened its doors in 1972 to students, just 42 years ago.

I don't want to compare to any other C-USA school, because my point is not to make FIU look better at the expense of any particular school, but let's not be ridiculous in this ignorant rampage against FIU, just because we have sucked in football the last 3 years. It's superficial, dumb, and yes, ignorant.

Go Panthers, and Go C-USA!

Thank you. This is all I was asking for. Didn't realize it was that dang difficult. I'm not on an "ignorant rampage."

Maybe I should apologize for not really caring to much about any other sport but football and I guess men's basketball. It's funny you want to think bad of me for my attitude towards FIU, but yet you come at me with this condescending tone. Oh well, guess we're just more alike than you realized.

As to FIU. That is a lot of positives and you should be proud of that. Out of all those sports, I would have to say that sand volleyball is the coolest. I figured baseball was good. I'm also surprised that you didn't list anything about soccer.

I will cheer for FIU as long as they are in CUSA.

How many C-USA schools have both Medical and Law Schools? Other than the Texas schools, which ones are in states growing as fast as Florida?

I guess you can sum up C-USA's decision in one word: POTENTIAL.

Ignore the ignorant.

I'm now ignorant for politely asking about your school? Awesome.

So far, all we have is that you have some pretty girls, and you have 2 P5s coming to play at your stadium. Think there is any way you get an actual 10,000 people at any one of those games?

As for basketball, Marshall was terrible last year so I hope to goodness they finished ahead of us. That will not happen anymore though.

.......but they DO have pretty girls. Does anything else really matter?

they have pretty dancers, but when it comes to the whole student body they are not even the top CUSA school in their State.

Do not be troubled. Jesus loves you.

I will repeat this again...

3 years ago when FIU got their invite they were coming off back to back bowl games and co Sbc champs in one of those and 8 win in the other.

It's a school in one of the most visited area in the USA with a bunch of EYES and honestly potential EYES means a lot when it comes to TV contracts. So in that area even a 0-12 FIU is worth more than most of schools when we are winning 7, 8, 9, 10 games...11 might sneak you in the BCS game. If FIU could get a 3% share of those eyes it would be more than Western, S.Miss, MUTS, Marshall, LA Tech would have with 100%.

Now if you are a school President would you rather have 2 to 3 free trips to Miami each year or Jonesboro Ark, BG Ky, or Lafayette? FIU was a no brainer especially coming off back to back bowl seasons. As a fan that has to pay for his trips....

I would much rather go to S. Fla twice a year than Jonesboro Ark. Honestly it's one of the shortest when Western was in the SBC but it's almost like getting caught up in a time warp or Twilight Zone. So I'm glad to be back in the same conference with the Fla. schools

And as a few mention a lot of us recruit the area which can also be done even if you don't play there.

Can we just get rid of this asshat? All he does is talk **** about conference members.

How about using the report a post button? Just a hint.......

You "asshats" ? are just butt hrt because i called you out on attendance. I tell it like it is, period. I am not here to politic or kiss ass like some. I dont give a **** who here likes me or wants to be my buddy. I thought we were here to talk sports like MEN. I give props when props need to be given, ALA UTEP, who i have congratulated and thanked on their victories and close loss to tech, UTSA i am a huge fan of and they bring a lot to the table, UAB has played well but the fact remains you don't have fan support, i hope that changes. FIU, has NO fan support, ? (the smiley wont delete.) And the ad gets paid bonuses for it! I pointed out an issue they need to address in their announced attendance. The ad gets a bonus for nothing.

Proof? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWBP_gBwnqI

Now, if you want to hear honest opinions and have a discussion about them, read my posts and engage in a discussion. If you want a popularity contest or someone feeding you bull**** to make you feel better, then don't read them.... or whine like a baby about it.

A. Very little people care about sports outside of Football... then a big drop to basketball.... then a huge drop futher to baseball..... then its a drop off of everest for other sports. No one cares. That means nothing. They exist mostly because they have to. Title 9.

B. No one really cares about academics either. Hardly anyone on this sports board, or in the general public, look at cusa school lineup and say "? Man, fiu.... they have some great academics and sat scores there!"

C. FIU was a good program. They fired their coach for no reason. Now they face the consequences of that action. Will they be good again in the future? Sure. But they do bring nothing to the table NOW. Flyhawk is right. FAU brings a florida presence, no need for 2. I truly believe inviting ULL instead of fiu was the righr call. They have a good program that can raise the SOS and respect of the conference.

D. You can say they bring media markets etc, but do they really? Just because they are there doesnt mean anyone cares about them. No one goes to the games.... how many d you think day they are watching the fiu game? There is miami, ucf, fau, fsu, florida, florida state, south florida, all ahead of fiu. They put maybe 300 in the stands, maybe 500 view on TV if i had to take a wild guess. They dont bring a media market.

This doesn't change the fact that i will rpot my ass off for FIU, OOC and in any bowl game. I still support you. But it is what it is. Thats reaching for things that are brought to the table.

So you believe ULL should've been invited over FIU because they have put together 3 good seasons? FIU was coming off back to back bowl games when we were invited which is a perfect example why a school shouldn't be invited simply because they're good at the moment. What would you do with ULL for example when they're not winning? What do they bring to the table when they're not winning?

By the way, you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to TV markets. I'll give you a quick example. Our last year in the SB we played FAU towards the end of the season. Both teams were struggling badly and were posting a 2-9 I believe. Everyone in the SB quickly began mocking us once the tv ratings for the game became available. About 200k people tuned in to watch the game and it was quickly compared to another televised SB game between two of the top teams which drew close to million viewers I believe. I quickly pointed something out that no one was able to dispute. A MAC game between two schools with winning record drew less viewers than the FIU vs FAU game. THAT IS WHY MARKET IS SO IMPORTANT. There are schools that even with a winning record can not attract many viwers because don't have many potential viwers. When FIU had a lot of interest from the fans in 2011 we played Louisville. We set a record in the SB and had over 1.2 million viewers. We all have played against elite programs like Alabama and company so don't tell me people tuned in because Louisville was playing. People tuned in because there was a buzed down here in Miami about FIU and the media believe that we could beat them. And we did- on national television. That is the potential that some are talking about. We can draw 200k viwers when we are having a terrible season and have the potential to draw over a million when we are playing well.

Whatever guys. Am I fond of FIU? Absolutely not. Doesn't mean that I'm ignorant or any of the other personal derogatory comments you guys have made.

Facts are facts. At least its good to know that all 3 FIU fans are sensitive about how bad their program is.

Yes, you were ignorant, besides rude and all the other adjectives others with some sense have written here. Now, you yourself admitted, you have some facts about FIU you didn't have or know. Still, to be honest, the other guy is the one ignorant and still spewing his nonsense. Not even facts enter into his mind, just feels like it's cool to belittle FIU.

Thank God Presidents of universities are smart and the ones making decisions, right? LOL.

Go FIU, Go C-USA!

Well I wasn't making any personal attacks towards FIU. I was attacked just because I didn't put on some FIU glasses. I was attacked for asking questions.

I was definitely rude in my last post, but that was after I was repeatedly attacked on a personal level.

I know the word ignorant technically means uneducated, but I also know people try to use it in a derogatory way. If that makes you feel better then so be it.

We are now in the smack portion/thread but I will not stoop that low. It would be very easy to make fun of Marshall's location and academics but it is unnecessary and rude. You have been ranting about FIU for a while. I understand that you don't like FIU, but you miss the fact that it IS rude and unnecessary without context. Ask yourself this: what are you trying to accomplish? FIU is not getting kicked out of C-USA. Period. You should know this. And your opinion is as worthless/valuable as mine on any team's particular merit. Look I may believe that Marshall is a crappy university but what good does that do us? Marshall is here to stay unless it is picked up by the American. So why am I going to offend Marshall's fanbase by insulting West Virginia or the university?

In other words, stop letting your hatred ruin it for us (all three of us as you stated). This does not mean that you can't believe FIU football sucks, or that its fans don't show up. Both of these opinions would be correct. But it's all about context. I get your opinion. Believe me I get it. You feel ULL was a better fit. This may even be accurate. But so what? So now just grow up and deal with reality. Next time you wish to insult FIU make sure it is in context. For example, FAU fans make fun of us all the time. In context. After they spank us in a sport, etc. We do the same with them. But to out of the blue say that FIU sucks and asking "why did they get invited" for no reason other than to piss people off is wrong and very unnecessary. But you must know how this feels every time you read a WVU comment about Marshall. Doesn't WVU think Marshall is absolute crap at everything? Go figure.

You think I asked that question for no reason? Sorry, but I asked that question because Bethune-Cookman has beat you 2 years in a row. Then the ordeal with the Miami newspaper, the videos of your home crowds, and your high school basketball gym.

As for making fun of WV. That doesn't bother me at all. I love where I live and wouldn't change it for anything. Only ignorant people make fun of WV. We have a great place to live.

I would argue that starting a thread calling for FIU to be kicked out of the league would anger FIU fans. You then asked what, if anything, they brought to the table, and when inundated with facts about all of the positives that FIU has, preceded to state that basically non of those things were important.
You "asked" a question, then totally disregarded the answer because it did not fit with your preconceived notion.
Because FIU currently is bad in football, they should be kicked out of the league. That is enlightened thinking. What happens if Marshall goes through a poor three year stretch? Are you going to call your President and AD and tell them they need to pull out of CUSA because they are hurting the conference? I think not.
Very few teams in sports are able to avoid bad stretches and G5 teams are more likely to hit those stretches than are the P5 schools. Marshall is not immune, and neither is WKU.
As a final note, UConn, Baylor, Duke, UT and Stanford will be saddened to learn that women's basketball is so unimportant and those 8,000 to 12,000 fans that come to the games are just there because of Title IX.
Just because you only care about football does not mean that no one else cares about the other sports.
And as another poster said, since you and the other posters have no control over the membership of CUSA, a thread like yours has only one purpose.... to make someone mad.
Hopefully, you can do better than that.

1. I didn't start this thread.

2. Even when my school went through hard times, we averaged well over 20k a game.

3. I never said those other sports were not important. I said that I personally did not care about those other sports.....and I still dont.

4. Last, no one answered my question until somewhere in this thread. Once again, I didn't know it would be so difficult for you guys to come up with a list of positives for your own school.

5. Have a good day!
