CUSA teams expected to play same teams next season

Teams expected to play same conference games next year, locations flipped

So we'll play all three Texas schools away ... again ... we'll play the top five teams in the conference ... again ... as a UNT fan in Virginia I won't be able to see UNT at ODU ... again ... .

"UAB’s 23-player recruiting class is ranked 44th nationally by 247Sports. That’s by far the highest ranking for a Conference USA team – Southern Miss is the next at 70th. UAB's class is ranked ahead of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Texas and Mississippi State"

UMMMMM WTF?

This is what I figured would happen. So we know that our schedule next year looks like this:

Bethune-Cookman, SMU, La Tech, Southern Miss, Marshall, and MUTS at home

Florida, Army, UTSA, UTEP, Rice, and Western Kentucky on the road.

That is just brutal for where we are right now, but it also adds to why 2017 and 2018 should be when we see more wins come around.

I'll wait for someone to blame RV for this ...

Lots of open spots for starting. I guess that's the draw.

UAB also got a ton of publicity with that fiasco

They also have a coach who has shown that he is a good one at UAB...

I'll expect him to vote against the proposal. How about we get ODU and Charlotte from the East. Would only be fair.

southsideguy · December 9, 2015

you know all other teams want us on their schedule lol

Withers940 · December 9, 2015

Rice, UTEP and UTSA get the same weak ass schedule while we take it in the teeth again

Killer home slate in conference, but at least known/familiar teams. Marshall at Apogee should be a nice draw.

Maybe the AD's office can coordinate with UPC to show We Are Marshall in the Union to reminds the students about Marshall and drive up attendance.

So all conference schools don't get input on this?

Absolutely do not like facing the same east teams two years in a row and not seeing the others through two seasons. With seven teams in the east and UNT playing three each year, this pattern means we will not see one of the teams for at least four years!

Also, would like to see a one-time shift in the home and away for one Texas school, so that we get at least one Texas opponent at home each year.

He might throw his two cents worth in but if the majority of ADs are fine with just flipping the schedule as has been prosed it really doesn't matter much, does it?

This is such a lazy way to do this. I also don't want to play the top 3 teams in the east again. Standard case of BS.

it's brutal, but it's a pretty good home schedule. BC excepted.

UAB also offers kids a free extra year to develop full time and get ready to play when they come back

Every conference in the country that has divisions plays the same teams in back-to-back seasons in cross-divisional play. CUSA just hadn't done it yet because of dreaded Tulsa leaving, along with Tulane and ECU, as well as UAB taking its hiatus.
