Why doesn't Conf. USA look at the following 16 team format?

East Div.

Carolina & Marshall

FIU & FAU

Ga. State & UAB

Charlotte & Old Dominion

West Div.

Rice & N. Texas

UTSA & UTEP

Tulane & S. Miss.

La. Tech. & Tulsa

12 good TV markets out of 16 and some excellent rivalries.

Tks, Mr.P.

Umm...are we talking I-A football or all sports or what? Old Dominion?

[JesseMartin]

NVM, I see that Old Dominion is moving to CUSA.

Because if you look at FAU, that don't make you wish to be in a conference with them. Also let us look a few years what GA state does in the sun belt, before inviting them.

And finally: I am just not a lover of 16 team conferences. 14is more than enough in my book. at 16 you pretty much never see the other division in football.

I think they will consider 16 at some point but at this point there's no rush.

After seeing attendance at A-St/F.I.U. game I wonder if CUSA is thinking "oops, we made a mistake"?

[Texas Stranger]

No. ASU is as good as they're ever gonna be, we're seeing their peak now. FIU has a lot of potential, similar to ours.
