It would be great for the old Gulf States Conference to re-form from the current Southland, Sunbelt, and including Tech.
Something tells me that CUSA will fall apart in the next decade. I think the Big East will end up having to pick up a couple CUSA schools (UCF and Memphis being obvious choices, with Marshall and ECU being distant maybes). I would love to see the remainder of CUSA split into two separate conferences and pick up SBC schools to fill out their lineup:

New SWC:
East
Arkansas State
Louisiana-Monroe
Louisiana-Lafayette
Louisiana Tech
Tulane
Tulsa

West
Houston
North Texas
Rice
Southern Methodist
Texas-El Paso
Texas State


New SIAA:
East
Appalachian State
East Carolina
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Georgia Southern
Marshall

West
Alabama-Birmingham
Middle Tennessee State
South Alabama
Southern Mississippi
Troy
Western Kentucky

This is the first thing you have said that I agree with. That would be a great conferenceBut there are some FCS teams in there. (Unless Appy and Ga Southern are planning on going 1A)

Look, we are just going to have to disagree. I certainly see your point about these two teams playing, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Call it elitism or whatever, but Tech is going in a different direction than ULM right now. Whether that is good or bad will not be known for a few years.
