UNF and Stetson to CUSA???

The idea is being thrown around. I think if they were to do it FGCU and UNF would be a better fit.

I could see why Stetson might be their choice over FGCU.

They have history with baseball, & their basketball team is on the rise again. Why not go for the team that people will still remember in five years even if they fall apart, instead of the team that had one shining moment in the tourney almost ten years ago, & hasn't been the same since (no offense FGCU friends).

I just feel the upside is too good to pass up with FGCU. Their arena is nice, they have a good enrollment and it’s a growing university.

None of this will happen...

If anything, they will restructure members buy deciding what region they want to be in, and then letting the other half go to another conference. I think the same will or should be done with the Sun Belt. I dont think additions will happen at all.

Not to mention, football, UNF dont play football, neither does FGCU. Stetson seems really set on non scholarship football and would have to do some serious facilities upgrades to go to any FBS conference.

I think the what if game is fun sometimes, but I also think this kind of what if game is (A) just trying to get eyes to read an arrival because of lack of topics and (B) premature at best when it comes to what needs to happen as a result of this pandemic.

Yeah..... not happening.

I get UNF, but don’t buy Stetson.
Not counting LU, I’d say the other team would be FGCU or Lipscomb.

C-USA was about to give UAB the boot for not having football.... their bylaws says to be a member, you must have football. Unless they change that, it shouldn't happen.

But Theoretically, UNF and FGCU would be the two in the ASUN that makes the most sense.

Based on what ODU’s AD is saying something is going to have to happen or a lot of schools aren’t going to be in the conference anymore.
