ODU's Future Conference - New World Conference
If CUSA splits and there is consolidation with the Sunbelt and Indies, how would ODU enjoy this league? I think it would be perfect for the Monarchs. It follows the Pac 12 model.
I think something like this is the best ODU can hope for. I call it the New World Conference to reflect the colonial roots. You can try to do something like the AAC did with the 12/12 model.
New World Conference
1. ODU
2. James Madison
3. Liberty
4. Marshall
5. Charlotte
6. App State
7. Coastal Carolina
8. Georgia State
9. Georgia Southern
10. FIU
11. FAU
12. FGCU Olympics / UMASS football only

That's why you invite Florida Gulf Coast.

Not no, hell no. That's worse than CUSA itself.

RE: ODU's Future Conference - New World Conference
Not a terrible football conference, OK in baseball especially with Coastal, but the basketball is just B-R-OOTAL, even throwing in FGCU (and then you have three Florida schools, screwing up any chance at travel partners).
I'm not against a regionalized conference, but it would almost have to include UAB, MTSU and WKU to be viable. Otherwise, might as well go indy in football and beg the A-10 for a spot (settling on a return to the CAA to battle UNCW for a 12/13 seed every year as a worst-case scenario).

Not a bad cheerleading conference either

RE: ODU's Future Conference - New World Conference
ODU
UNCC
MARSHALL
WKU
MTSU
UAB
GA STATE
COASTAL
ECU
JMU
Once the GOR expires in a few years and the Big 12 is picked apart, they will infill with teams from the AAC... ECU might not make the cut (I think '][' gets in over them). Throw in JMU for an even 10 or keep it at 9. I count 7 decent Bball programs, 5 football. How likely? Probably slim to none, but since everybody has an opinion on the subject I figured I'd through mine in

No thanks to Coastal. They have no support.

BigEastBoner is not a frequent visitor to these parts. He posted a ****** conference realignment, which is inferior to our BB aspirations. Unless he shows himself to not be a troll poster, I'd wade into these waters very carefully.

Swap JMU and Coastal with USM and La Tech.

Let him have his fun. ECU went 3-9 this year and 1-7 in conference.
They keep stacking seasons like that ODU could replace their sorry a** athletics lol

This may get moved to smack here shortly. Not sure if this was a serious attempt at getting information or not.
