There are a few things that hurt Southern Miss. One, getting rid of Jeff Bower. Wait my bad, he "resigned". The other was the separation of P5 and G5. This is where they got left behind and begin having trouble even competing with ole miss and State for in-state recruits after being picked through by bama or LSU. Third, the conference expansions where a lot of decent CUSA teams upgraded to better conferences. The only thing left for Southern Miss was to join Sun Belt.

Southern Miss should have tried their damnedest to get to the AAC 10 years ago when Cinci, Houston, and UCF left.

If Tulane, Memphis, and possibly ECU are somehow thrown a life raft in a resurrected Pac (b/c it's 100% going to need teams in the CST and EST) the Sun Belt will be better than the AAC. The AAC has the better TV right now but it's on increasingly shaky ground after losing UCF, Cincy, Houston, and SMU.
