Ark state would be in as well I assume and southern miss if they get a vote


The solid no votes that I have been able to confirm would be Troy, USA and stAte.

I have no connections to the eastern programs. Texas State will vote as UL votes.

I don’t know if LaTech would even accept an invite.

It failed in CUSA because half the league was in rural settings and the other half was major urban universities

Wut? Try again.
You can say the RSN & Huntington, WV are more rural….Hattiesburg is small city. The rest are big commuter schools in large metro areas with limited fan base. Big markets instead of solid programs… That’s the reason cusa is failing & will be a huge mistake for AAC too.

Interesting that State says no that was quite the game in the past.

They must have gotten mega burned by tech

Thank you for proving my point dummy.

Marshall and USM are moving to the SBC because it’s a cultural fit.

LaTech is just to arrogant to understand that the SBC is where you belong too.

Since you choose to go that route, word police guy, try capitalizing the B in before. While you’re at it, since you bothered to use punctuations, add a period to close your sentence.

If people would get rid of the old will not play them because we hate them mentality it could make for a great conference Division.
La Tech, Arkansas State, ULM, ULL, USM, South Alabama.
Every game would be a rivalry. Screw the bowl game tie ins and the media rights. Traveling fans would help pack the stadiums and the atmosphere would be great.
Every game would be a short car ride away.
Baseball would be top notch also. Many of the coaches are very familiar with each other and 95% of the kids are home grown.

But I didn’t prove your point. Stop acting like a clown.
The vast majority of schools in CUSA are big market commuter schools with little fan base.

Exactly, which is why Marshall, USM, ODU, WKU and LaTech are not institutional fits in CUSA.

How hard is that to understand. That is why there is always instability within CUSA.

Real shame.

Obviously, we have a different view of things, then. It happens.
I'll stick with mine until I'm convinced otherwise.

Lol! It’s a good thing Miss St, Ole Miss, & Auburn formed the SEC when they did. Those are small towns

Do they not have a lot of fans in Shreveport and Monroe?


No, they do not.

But this is some of the most common bullshite that the school and it's fan always do: they claim they own Shreveport and Monroe when it's convenient for them, but if you point out the total population for that area, as compared to their poor attendance, then its all "well it's too far" for fans to travel to the games.
