“We will be much better without those six schools,” a C-USA source said. “The AAC will see their College Football Playoff rankings drop in the Group of Five. We have a chance to leapfrog them. This is a good day for C-USA.”

Because they have to.  Why do people on this board go so hard for spin.

Good article find by Coach Andy Mac. I've see several "the grapes were sour anyway" messages on both the La Tech board and the CUSA board.

Honestly, I feel for La Tech, USM and Marshall, but their markets are just tiny.

Whistling in the graveyard.

Those left now know there is something worse than the conference noone wanted to be in. 

Their programs have been badly hurt, I am afraid. 

Some will survive and maybe even end up in a better position.  Most are not going to fare so well.

Markets, smarkets!  I wish we had Louisiana Tech's success in football.  I'm gonna hate not being in a conference with them.

Now would be a great time to reach out to Skip Holtz

USM fans are extremely angry, their 247 VIP board is so funny

Give us some snippets of what is being said

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!

So much for the SMU block theory.

It’s been zero secret that Sun Belt and USM and Marshall have been talking for months. They’ve got their landing spot. Question is does anyone else in CUSA have a landing spot.

Do you think y'all throw a lifeline out to UTEP?   Do you think LATech would accept an invite with LAMo down the road?    What if MT & WKU come back hat in hand?   
I really think after after NT, UAB, Rice, UTSA & FAU (I guess) leave C- USA, SBC is obviously the better conference.

Thanks Arkstfan!  

I think AAC Commissioner Aresco thought the MWC was going to invade his Texas territory & that forced his hand.

Harry and I talked about this. There is speculation that the AAC plan was four leaving out UNT and Rice and Thompson was talking and letting it be known in the right circles but left out that he didn’t have the 8 votes to add but it panicked AAC into acting. 

Fun story even if it doesn’t pan out.
