Conference USA could grow even further after recently pushing its membership to 14, CBSsports.com recently reported.
This isn't much of a surprise considering C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky at one point promoted a C-USA/Mountain West merger that could grow to as many to 24 or 28 teams.
That alliance fell through, but Banowsky can now pursue his own plan of building a league that relies on strength in numbers.
The real question is: Which schools would C-USA actually want considering the remaining options?
The CBS Sports report listed UL-Lafayette and Arkansas State as potential candidates.
* While Arkansas State has made huge strides with its football program, I tend to doubt that C-USA will look to the Red Wolves. If you've ever had to make the trip to Jonesboro, Ark., you would understand why. I'm not saying it's a bad town or anything, it's just isolated and completely lacking any attractive market for C-USA.
