Arkansas State AD takes shots at C-USA

[Harry]

"I hear all the time "We should have gone to CUSA" Well let me tell you something. The Sun Belt is a better league than CUSA. CUSA was the worst league in FBS Last year. The Sun Belt was the best non AQ. The Best place for Arkansas State is the Sun Belt right now." (This is followed by quotes comparing us to Central Florida and what we need to do to be able to compete with UCF and Houston)

"MTSU, UNT, and WKU left for CUSA because they thought the revenue was the same it was when Memphis was in the league. It wont be close. CUSA's brand...Im telling you...people must still think Louisville is in CUSA. They brought in teams like ODU, Charlotte, and UTSA that don't have the tradition that SBC Teams have. Charlotte hadn't even played a down of football" "Its about brand...not market" "Of course, things are cyclical, so things change every few years"

He would come to CUSA so quickly if it was offered to him.

Says the AD from a conference that brought up schools like Texas State, Georgia State, & Georgia Southern from the FCS and rescued orphaned programs like New Mexico State and Idaho.

Whatever gets you through the night. It's all right. It's all right.

From the state that gave us "Deliverance".

[UNTeagle88]

He must be butt hurt, because his team is not in the CUSA.. check the rankings bro...

[Rudy]

Does that AD have a cousin or something that plays baseball, and used to play for the Rangers?

[GrandGreen]

Nothing but sour grapes and very foolish comments. Nobody at the joining schools had sense enough to know that Memphis was gone and the bb money would be way down, very insulting comment.

It appears that ASU has come to the realization that CUSA is not taking them.

[North Texas Shep]

Blah Blah Blah! In state rivals is all I ever wanted and now we have it. I am happy. GO MEAN GREEN in CUSA!

[GrayEagle]

So much for burning bridges. Have fun in the Sun Belt.
