C-USA may not be done with expansion

Moving the conference tournament from Richmond to Baltimore for the first time in more than two decades is also causing plenty of angst and excitement for the CAA.

"For all the challenges we face with scheduling, 18 conference games was something good for our schools," CAA commissioner Tom Yeager said.

The next movement out of the CAA could be James Madison, which is weighing what it will do with football. If it were to upgrade, then the first phone call could be to join ODU in C-USA. If that were to happen, then C-USA would have to grab one more school to get to an even number, likely looking toward the Sun Belt again.

"I'm not too concerned at this point," Yeager said of JMU leaving.

New Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson knew when he was jumping off the then-sinking WAC ship in February 2012 that the Sun Belt would be grossly affected by alignment.

"We added seven and lost five," he said. "While I didn't want us to go through that, we did well."

I know I'm in a very very small minority, but I wouldn't mind seeing Texas St end up in C-USA. It's a crazy stretch to think that though.

Well opinions are mixed here but the article does seem to indicate it would be a Belt team to even things out if JMU is added.

I've never understood the allure of JMU. If someone can convince me otherwise I'm all ears.

.......Including a couple of Norm Hitzghes-esque "Dad" would be... jokes:

Back in the old days CUSA would have probably already become (by common sense) 2 separate regional conferences with the way all this is shaking out. Both could fight over this name: Conference-Half of USA?

Has UNT ever been happy and content being in a conference that had members with former president's names for their school's names?

James Madison (CUSA?): 4'th president of the USA

Sam Houston State (Southland Conference)......former president of the Republic of Texas

Will there ever be a Jim Bowie State? Perhaps one of this school's cheerleader yells would be:

Cut em' up! Cut em' up!?!?!

OK, time for the meds...

GMG!
