I would give my vote to CUSA.
With the CAA, they have never been elite. Solid conference with a few Cinderella moments. CAA football was elite in terms of FCS, but that will definitely take a hit now that we are gone.
CUSA's blame mostly falls on Judy. I don't think Joey Dbag has really much control and is more of a figurehead than anything. They let him do whatever the hell he wants. Judy is a mess and they know it and they still allow her to captain the ship.
CAA media deal is bad due to it taking advantage of one school's fan base. The CUSA deal was just BAD. Schools lost money. And to make it worse, may even add FloSports!
Look at the mass exodus of schools leaving. CUSA is about as unstable as it gets. CAA has at least mostly been stable. The schools that are being added to the CAA don't make up for us leaving, but they are at least in the region and make sense.
CUSA's mess started a long time ago when they went after markets over school quality. As a result, the conference was all over the country and a traveling nightmare.
CUSA is still making bad decisions despite all the other bad decisions they have made. They are desperate and needed schools so badly, they are bringing in Liberty: the school no other conference has wanted to touch. And they had to resort to bringing in not just one, but two FCS schools that are not even prepared for the move. Sam Houston has a stadium that isn't even big for FCS standards. They aren't coming to FBS to compete. They are coming to FBS to exist.
Obviously the CAA's postseason ban is reprehensible. At least it's a bylaw.
CUSA is just flying by the seat of their pants and not even consistent in their bad actions.
And then there's La Tech. Their conference members are either delusional, clueless, or in denial for what's happening. I believe CAA knows exactly what they are. CUSA thinks they know what they are, but are definitely not.
I am not saying CAA isn't bad, because they are the worst. But, CUSA is the worst of the worst.
Thank god we didn't join them years ago.
