I, personally, think the trolls are just as bad as the "nastiness".

A couple of the Cajun posters come to mind. Makes this board unreadable, or maybe I'm just getting too old for this shiite.

Where do we stand on the transition of "Administrators and Moderators" for the running of this board? I keep seeing LA Tech fans getting banned from this board for trivial matters --deb025 is the latest example-- and I'm tired of it. These are good people, and she is one of the few females that we even have on this silly site. This site needs MORE Deb's, not less. She's a GREAT sports poster, and I'm detecting some heavy bias against women from our current administrators/moderators.

Aside from the simple misogynistic look of it all, I'm now receiving warnings from a moderator/administrator who is a Charlotte and AAC fan. He apparently got bent out of shape because I told an obvious Sunbelt troll who was attacking LA Tech, "Hey dumbazzz, it's all about markets. And Tech has a very small market. We've learned to live with that. You should too, and get over it."

That's the complete post that I received my warning for. Looks pretty mild to me.

I responded in writing to this "Charlotte fan" that he should excuse himself from governing on the CUSA board because of his obvious Conflict of Interest that he now has since Charlotte (his school) is now committed to the new AAC, and not CUSA.

So, this brings the question, how long do we CUSA 4.0'ers go before we finally put some of our own people --people who care about the future of CUSA-- in charge of this CUSA board? And what's "the process" for this transition?

FREE DEB! And any moderator associated with a team moving on should step down. Major conflict.

STOP. Why post this? Did you not read the heading of the post? Start you own thread. This topic is about teams. Not about people being banned.

First they ban your neighbor...then they ban YOU!

Personally, I think the idea of banning anyone is so childish.

I've actually called Deb a Karen, and she just rightly laughed it off, knowing it was a joke and gave me rep. I promptly gave her +3.

People/mods need to chill.

Also, just a note about mods. Their work here never gets their just due congratulations. It's a labor of love. There's not pay or other benefits, but like referees, they just take crap.

Here's to the mods!

But one again, no one ever really deserves to get banned, unless it's blatant like posting malware or something like that.

Looks like Sun Belt AD's are meeting on Jan 25, and the presidents are voting on the 26th. Looks like that's when the announcement - one way or the other - should be coming...

And be careful of what you're griping about. It wasn't a CUSA mod that dropped the hammer on deb. Let's just end this here.

Who banned Deb? and for what? Nothing Deb posts remotely warrants banning.

The only thing I can tell you is to take it up with a supermod, brother.

Free Deb!

If Deb is banned several on here should be for dogging CUSA.

Im not for banning anyone for probably much of anything. I would rather know your true thoughts and just skip over or realize some folks are deranged

Do wish more JSU fans could register to even possibly get banned. Our folks are not allowed to register for this site. I had an old account or JSU would have one less and the SBC board one have one less to call a fool.

Also the MODs should be expanded to the new schools having a say and the current MODs moving should have status on both sites until officially moved.

This thread is about CUSA TRANSITIONS, moving from the old to the new. EVERYTHING has to change. People who's teams are committed to the AAC or the SBC now should no longer have the power to ban someone who's team is in CUSA for the foreseeable future. That's a material issue, unless you're okay with "Conflict of Interest".

Exactly these nit wit Sunbelt Moderators will ban someone for posting an opposing opinion. It’s just plain un American.

I actually like that the Sunbelt posters ULL can post over here on CUSA. No one needs to be echo chamber without dissenting opinions. It just plain wrong and cowardly to be ban for an opposing opinion.

You're being disingenuous, at best. No one got banned there for having a different opinion. None of you Tech guys offer a new way to look at things. You make some nutball statement that you actually believe and then keep hammering it home with a slew of derogatory statements about anyone who disagrees and miles of collateral damage. LaTech should offer a degree in scorched earth and Deb should teach it. Don't pull the innocent card out on anyone that's read a Tech fan's posts.

There are plenty of disagreeable posts there by plenty of posters from all kinds of places. ATLDawg, or whatever the **** his name is, posts there all the time and hasn't been banned. He's misguided but not nasty. Deb is nasty.

Deb's TWICE the poster you are.

Now be careful.....or you'll get banned for THAT comment. LOL! And yes, I'm dead serious. There's a Charlotte fan who apparently is a moderator, and he doesn't like dirty word "supplements" (slight changes) like that. He's drunk on his sports board power. LOL

With Liberty being indy, could they potentially begin play as soon as they rearrange their schedules? What qualifications do callups, if any, have to meet other than their probation period?

I think it all depends on when teams are leaving. Right now 9 are departing as of July 2023 and 4 are coming in at that time, so scheduling should be seemless..

But if the SBC 3 leave July 2022 as has been theorized, if Liberty is able to schedule CUSA teams and the conference can take them, I don't see where there'd be an issue.

It all boils down to scheduling.

I follow your thought. And it is going to mostly determined by some written agreement. An official departure statement. An official entrance agreement. I believe your conjecture may be correct. And at this stage it's going to be about written agreements and their impacts.

You have to also consider the non-football sports, as well. It is more likely that Liberty remains in the Atlantic Sun until 2023 especially since the A-Sun isn't going to penalize Liberty or Jacksonville State for announcing moves to Conference USA. No need to go through the stress of dropping and filling so many contests at this stage in the game.

Can't celebrate the Mods as long as there is a Conflict of Interest and bad decisions being made. Furthermore, nobody makes 'em do it. If they can't handle all that pressure of being a mod on a sports message board (LOL!) they shouldn't commit to doing it. It's not Brain Surgery.


FREE DEB!!

Really sad to see Deb banned. Deb's actually a guy, not a woman, according to him, and I have no reason to doubt that. There are plenty of men, who have names that start with D-e-b, and it could've been a short hand for that....or D.E.B. could've been the initials of his name. Regardless, that hasn't stopped people (mainly fans of the current or future Sun Belt) from attacking Deb as a woman.

In America this is known as Cancel Culture--a sickness perpetuated by intolerance and hate.

Sorry, NewTimes, for the tangent. Your topic means well, but it's hard to bring users of the incoming CUSA and users of the departing CUSA together in a topic and expect no conflicts.

Mods for schools leaving will move to those boards as mods when the schools leave. Schools incoming that have mods will be installed as mods. There's been posts about this and all moderator issues don't need to be handled publicly but privately with the moderation team.

If it's a Super Mod, that means they have privileges across all the boards and are trusted to do the job everywhere is my understanding.

There might be a fee for leaving from the ASun earlier than expected, but that is probably a minor roadbump.

We're starting to get pretty late into the scheduling cycle though for next year. So unless Liberty and C-USA can work quickly after a potential announcement from the SBC 3 then there just might not be enough time to get it all done.

So, if LU was able to resolve it's existing schedule, and create an acceptable schedule with C-USA, then LU could join even if existing school(s) stayed until 2023?

Using common logic without knowing any details, it would seem that first an exiting team(s) would have to depart by a specific date. Then, if new entrants, for this example LU, had it's schedule in order with C-USA, LU could come aboard.

What prompted this question for me were reports/rumors that JMU was attempting to join the SBC next year? The same situation exists there. Who are the conference teams at a specific time and then create a schedule. It seems it has to happen in that sequence. And I am hoping someone in the know about the conference rules & regs can chime in with details, rather than conjecture.

I don't think C-USA would want to go over 14 next year. But if the teams headed to the SBC leave early it might change the equation. If so, then you would get the gears moving. Then it's just a matter of how quickly they can get things done while always ensuring they will have a full schedule next year.

I'm not sure if next year is a possibility if all the teams stay, but if the SBC 3 leave then I'd say it's a possibility.

There should be an annoucement within the next few days regarding USM, ODU, and Marshall and if they're leaving after this year. I know scheduling, logistics, and money are the factors.

I was expecting something that quick too, but the Arkansas State AD says the CB meeting on 1/25 will discuss it. We'll see.

Banning is the only punishment they can give out for repeatedly ignoring board rules. Without bans there is no point to board rules. You'd either have to let everything go or the mods would have to delete it all. The people that get banned are normally the ones that go nuclear when they feel their opinion is being censored. They then get more and more abusive and break the rules on purpose. Banning has to be an option or we should just have a free for all with no rules.

You're a good one and there are quite a few. LTech has 3-4 that are over the top obnoxious and post non-stop (USM has a handful too), so a newbie should be forgiven for thinking that's all Tech brings to the table, especially since his thread has been been derailed by those Tech fans.
