Bottom line is CUSA is losing their biggest brands and they're mad/freaking out because they know in the next 5-10 years CUSA will cease to be an FBS conference. Too spread out, FB brand value won't be there, TV revenue will take a MASSIVE hit (sad considering how bad it already is), TV games will be non existent, bowl tie-in contracts will dissolve/won't be renewed. So this stalling is all a money grab to get as much money as they can while they can because quite frankly, many of CUSA's administrative "leaders" will be bolting in the coming years. The conference was already on life support. Now the doctors are walking towards the plug to pull it from the wall. It's all a money grab. It'll be settled by March 1st. I just feel bad for LT/UTEP/FIU/WKU/MTSU...SHSU, Liberty, Jxnville State, and NM State aren't going to move any needles for CUSA. What's gonna happen in 5-10 years is MTSU/WKU will go to the MAC. LT/Liberty/UTEP will go Indy. FIU/NM State/JSU/SHSU will go back to FCS somewhere.

Ha! You have an over inflated opinion of your "brand". If your brands were so valuable, the AAC would have invited the lot of you. Face it. Southern Miss's glory days were 25 years ago. Your brand has tarnished.

I used to give you the benefit of the doubt. Boy was I wrong about you.

Calm down there buddy - no need to get all fussy pants on us. When I mention "brands" I'm talking about the 9 teams leaving CUSA. I say again, CUSA is losing their biggest brands and they're mad/freaking out because they know in the next 5-10 years CUSA will cease to be an FBS conference.

Tech, Marshall and USM are the current brand names in this conference that everyone has heard of. C-USA will now just have Tech, but Liberty was a great addition.

Going to arbitration means there will be a settlement. Both sides could be disappointed in the result but it would be over and we could go our separate ways.

Or the arbiter could try to force us to play which would be followed by lawsuits or we could just reach a settlement where we achieve the same thing. We’ll see how it plays out but forcing three public institutions into a future they don’t see right to their states best interest is troublesome, especially considering we’re talking about college ******* athletics. If all 9 were trying to leave then yeah, that’s a very reasonable ask from CUSA. Let’s hope we can reach an agreement soon so we can plan for the future.

WKU and UTEP have has more brand power than most of the group listed. USM may have been a known brand a few decades back but isnt known in todays market.

So USM was a known brand a few decades back but UTEP, whose main claim to fame is a basketball championship from 1966 while using a different name, is a better brand in today's market?

RE: ODU's AD discusses the departure to the SB
Y'all people are going crazy over something you have zero control over. The only comment I'm going to make is about the over inflation some think their school has and ask one question on that then I will hang up and listen too the answer and see if those people will really try and answer that question honestly.

Wouldnt you think what ever media deal CUSA has they would want the best "brand" on TV the most? Common sense tells me the answer to that question would be a hell, yes. I seriously doubt I will get a answer from the person throwing "brands" around. Or if I do it will be an honest straightforward answer.

Once you answer this question then tell me if you actually want the number of times your school was on TV compare to others...lesser "brands"? If you dont want those numbers I wont post them and honestly I dont think you really want me to list TV games since 2014/CUSA 3.0. It will just embarrass "the brand"

Now I will drop out of this thread unless someone wants the facts on which programs the "TV" partners actually show.

edit: as far as Wood I dont know of many people that actually believes much of what he says...I did not go to the link so I have no clue what he did say. But in my opinion he's a self promotor and blow bag

RE: ODU's AD discusses the departure to the SB
And here I thought there would be some discussion about the ODU athletic director's comments were regarding ODU's departure to the Sun Belt and what he expects to happen.

After all of the legal 'experts' on here over the past several weeks offering their opinions on what would happen to the SB3, I thought for sure they would appreciate hearing from someone directly in the mix speaking in their own voice answering pertinent questions on the matter. Instead, all I'm seeing is people trying to one up each other on some other topic. 07-coffee3

Wood has always been very complimentary of Liberty over the years when few others would ever acknowledge our existence. So he'll likely always have my respect from that perspective.

Tech, Marshall and USM are the current brand names in this conference that everyone has heard of. C-USA will now just have Tech, but Liberty was a great addition.

WKU and UTEP have has more brand power than most of the group listed. USM may have been a known brand a few decades back but isnt known in todays market.

So USM was a known brand a few decades back but UTEP, whose main claim to fame is a basketball championship from 1966 while using a different name, is a better brand in today's market?

yes

Continuing to post this brand misinformation will not make it a fact. The legacy Texas programs (UTEP, Rice and North Texas) also have significant brands. But that’s just me sitting in Harris County, Texas, with population greater than that of the States of West Virginia and Mississippi combined.

Bottom line is CUSA is losing their biggest brands and they're mad/freaking out because they know in the next 5-10 years CUSA will cease to be an FBS conference. Too spread out, FB brand value won't be there, TV revenue will take a MASSIVE hit (sad considering how bad it already is), TV games will be non existent, bowl tie-in contracts will dissolve/won't be renewed. So this stalling is all a money grab to get as much money as they can while they can because quite frankly, many of CUSA's administrative "leaders" will be bolting in the coming years. The conference was already on life support. Now the doctors are walking towards the plug to pull it from the wall. It's all a money grab. It'll be settled by March 1st. I just feel bad for LT/UTEP/FIU/WKU/MTSU...SHSU, Liberty, Jxnville State, and NM State aren't going to move any needles for CUSA. What's gonna happen in 5-10 years is MTSU/WKU will go to the MAC. LT/Liberty/UTEP will go Indy. FIU/NM State/JSU/SHSU will go back to FCS somewhere.

Ha! You have an over inflated opinion of your "brand". If your brands were so valuable, the AAC would have invited the lot of you. Face it. Southern Miss's glory days were 25 years ago. Your brand has tarnished.

Calm down there buddy - no need to get all fussy pants on us. When I mention "brands" I'm talking about the 9 teams leaving CUSA. I say again, CUSA is losing their biggest brands and they're mad/freaking out because they know in the next 5-10 years CUSA will cease to be an FBS conference.

I used to give you the benefit of the doubt. Boy was I wrong about you.

If my calling out a poster for proclaiming "brand" superiority over the other members, and calling him out for proclaiming the demise of C-USA offends you, then you have some thin skin.

I have always wanted C-USA to succeed, and hope they can stabilize after the AAC6 & SB3 leave. If C-USA has the law on their side to prevent the SB3 from leaving early or can extract some extra cash from them as they walk out the door, I don't blame them for doing that.
