I hope the original poster is still here so he can take a victory lap.

He already did in one of the other 25 threads.

Take CUSA East. Those seven plus UAB, Ga.St, GaSo, App, and one of the Sun Belt Alabamas is a compact conference with a nice mix of "markets" and schools passionate about football and schools passionate about hoops. Such an alignment would infuse CUSA East with another major market, would solidify ties with bowls within the region, would cut travel costs, would place the league in several major football recruiting areas and provide schools that can have fans in the stands to present the conference on television as relevant.
Any CUSA fan (other than maybe Charlotte or UAB) objecting to replacing CUSA West schools as their conference mates is detached from the reality of the situation.
I'd like to bring UAB, USM & La Tech from the West and according to their fans the first two at least would prefer to go east if there was a split. I don't think any such reshuffle will happen though.
We’re closer than ever before!!!

If they have and we are at 10, we can add two schools with no change to the amount of CFP given to each school. After 12 the conference gets no more money per school.
With that, and the BIG 12 talking expansion again, lots of changes coming. If the BIG 12 raids the AAC, and the AAC turns and raids CUSA, then we should raid.
I'm gonna say something I never thought I would, but AAC would be wise to take UAb. UAb deserves a better basketball conference, they are drowning in what is left of CUSA. And with the media coverage of football restarting, the AAC would benefit from both programs.
If UAb were to go, the SBC needs to grab USM!!! If that were to happen, the CUSA would crumble. May be able to take Marshall on the same day.
Now we need a commissioner to make it happen.
This is my favorite. Well done, sir. Well done. You appear to have wrote the handbook for ESPN...
