I can't help but believe that the CUSA members each individually would like UTEP out because of cost. I also can't help but believe that UTEP knows they cannot afford to stay in CUSA. As long as these conferences are this spread out, they are unstable, especially in a depression.

No, there's the reaction you were WANTING.

I hope the rest of my Bulldog brothers and sisters figure that out and stop replying.

That truly is a beautiful map, Sooner. And in tribute to your name....the "SOONER" the better for me.

Awesome map and it does not make any sense for us not to be in there. UTEP needs to go to MWC and then we could slide in and it would be perfect

Just as we would like USA, UTEP would like MWC. Just as we will have to find an alternative if we don't get USA, UTEP will have to find an other alternative. I guarantee you they are taking a huge hit over their travel expenses, and there will be a corresponding huge pressure to get into a more regional conference, even if it is perceived as a step down.

Poor boro, feeling the juvenile need to come over here and justify himself. That really shows where the difference lies. His cries for attention are sad. I'm going to ignore him now :)

There ya go. A young idiot, full of bravado, just running his mouth. Your life will be more fulfilling if you concentrate on making it better instead of acting like a fool. Grow up and start acting like a college grad sometime.

LA Tech
19,400 vs. Nicholls
21,263 vs. Hawai'i
20,773 vs. NMSU
23,240 vs. Boise St.
15,325 vs. SJSU

MTSU
28,105 vs. Memphis
23,882 vs. Mississippi St.
17,787 vs. WKU
17,808 vs. FIU
16,411 vs. ULL
19,111 vs. ASU

MTSU didn't get 20,000 of their own fans in their stadium all season. Tech did it 3 of 5 times, twice on weekdays. Stop pretending like all those Memphis and Mississippi State fans were MTSU fans.

If we were playing such crappy teams, then why did more people show up to see ULUpick'em and F_U than came to Tech to see Boise, Hawaii and Nevada?

8,593 ULL at FIU
14,429 ULM at FAU
17,610 FIU at ULM (homecoming)
21,135 FAU at ULL (homecoming)
21,263 Hawai'i at Tech
23,240 Boise St. at Tech
Tech played at Nevada

Once again, you're wrong. Why did more people show up for FIU at ULL than every conference game at MTSU?

Why is your athletic budget nearly $4 million less than ours, even though you get $500,000 more from your conference?

MTSU's 2008-09 revenues were $3,420,202 more than Tech's, not $4MM.
And how many millions does MTSU get in student fees? $5MM? $6MM? Tech gets $0.
MTSU has to pay $2,623,353 more than Tech to cover their student-athlete tuition.

Why are we on TV more than you?

Last year's regular season featured MTSU on ESPN2 once and on ESPNU once while Tech was featured on ESPN once, ESPN2 twice, and ESPNU twice.

Why can our AD put together a decent home schedule, yet you played five home games last year and are opening up this year with a neutral-site game against Grambling?

Texas A&M was scheduled to play us in Shreveport last year, but they bought out of it.
This year Tech plays 6 games in Ruston including Navy and USM, 1 in Shreveport, and only 5 on the road.

Why do you suck in baseball?

Tech baseball had winning seasons with win totals of 33, 35, and 29 in 2006, 2007, and 2009, respectively. Tech finished in 3rd in 2007 and 2nd in 2009. WAC teams won the national championship in 2003 and 2008.

Why can't you win your conference in anything other than women's track and women's basketball?

Tech has won WAC Championships in football and softball too.

Why does MT finish light year's ahead of Tech in the Director's Cup standings?

The Director's Cup uses the silliest methodology to rank athletic departments, and MTSU benefits from playing in a weaker conference.

Why did we beat you by four touchdowns the last time MT and Tech played?

Why did Tech beat MTSU the previous 3 meetings outscoring you 83-31?

Looks like what needs to be done is get UTEP, UCA, Marshall and East Carolina out, add USL and Arkansas State, and then we would be the center of the donut.

Southern Maid Athletic Conference... The SMAC

I thought about the Krispy Kreme Konference, but for obvious reasons a basically Southern conference doesn't need that.
