Nothing that I'm aware of. I'm not expecting much monetarily but staying on CBSSN and ESPN+ with the occasional upgrade to ESPN linear would be a good start and I would expect a short term contract. If the conference can perform decently in viewership then that could lead to better contracts down the road.

Fact check: we have had posters on our board in the last day excitedly expecting an improvement to bowl eligibility. There is plenty of excitement!

I want both: a bowl game and Bloomgren gone.

I think holding on to CBSSN with rest on ESPN+ would be considered a win all things considered. Agree a short term deal would be best.

The Rice vs UTEP game could well be important for both for bowl eligibility. Would be fun to see both in bowl games in the same season which could mean that all 4 CUSA Texas teams go bowling the last year they are in the same conference. I'm looking forward to an interesting one and only CUSA 3.5 season.

I love UTEP. I'm super proud of you guys. Dimel looks like he's the man for the job. I'm glad it worked out for him. He really failed at UH. He has redeemed himself in a big way. I think our game will be important

I am officially going with Bloomgren has a 12-0 regular season, wins the C-USA championship game, beats Texas A&M in the Access Bowl, and gets hired away by a P5.

Now that would be a dream season.

LOL! Yes that would be incredible! Here's to going 14-0 and getting rid of that bastard!

Thanks for the concern! I'm sure you're hoping it's a big one like we are.

I know, right?! But I’m counting YOU among the four since you “predicted“ six wins

I figured someone would take it the wrong way.

I just have an interest in conference media deals and you all are up really soon. I also Google news on the new B1G media deal if it makes ya feel better.

He's just now realizating how embarrassing it will be when the SBC is on ESPN+ during basketball season. The laughing stock of the FBS during basketball season...by far. No respectable FBS conference can be that bad in basketball but SBC owns that crown.
