When we leave CUSA, the nearest conference member will be in Huntsville, 171 miles away.  Will the Conference office move to a member city and if it does will Commissioner Judy move with it ?  I’m sure a major airport is important in the decision.  No big airports close to Huntsville or Ruston for that matter.  Miami ?  

Is there internet service in Ruston ?

Isn't out in Irving? Had no idea it was actually in Dallas

I think it will because the real estate is much cheaper here than in other places and it is also closer to the airport.

Moving costs money. Money that Judy and friends probably aren’t going to be to quick to spend given the state of C-USA these days.

(Because this image hasn't been used enough) Word on the street is that Jacksonville State's entry fee was enough for Judy Mac to a get a new ride!

The new CUSA has no revenue source. I doubt it can afford to stay in Dallas now, and certainly will not be able to after the upcoming round of realignment.

Colorado State and Air Force both said they want the AAC if SDSU moves to the PAC. This starts the dominoes falling, and it won't be pretty for CUSA.

What you say is absolutely correct and the sad part is that some once proud programs are going down with them like La. Tech and WKU.  Their best hope is that the Sun Belch will have them back.

It will be a mass exodus.

WKU has been in talks with the MAC for over a year and were prepared to go in as a package deal with MTSU. It will probably happen after they divvy out CUSA acquired exit fees. UTEP and NMSU are almost certain to join UNM in the depleted MWC. La Tech has the support to replace the first AAC team that leaves (Temple has contemplated following UConn for basketball money).

With CUSA no longer being a viable Division I conference* all accrued tourney money will divert directly back to the schools which originally earned it. That will benefit us. (To remain an NCAA credit earning conference, at least 6 of the members must have remained in the conference the three preceding years. CUSA cannot qualify)

La Tech does not seem to fit the AAC footprint from the latest expansion. Their problem is they spent so much time and effort crapping on ULM and UL-Lafayette that there is a lot of bad blood.

At which map are you looking?

Their only holdup may be Tulane not wanting another Louisiana school. The other western AAC schools love them.

The latest expansion was all teams in much, much larger markets than Ruston. Really don't think the AAC would like to add La Tech.

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
