I don't think it's a good sign for this to happen in the middle of TV negotiations.

Re: BB out as CUSA commish
BB is staying on until his replacement is found (earliest is October). I'd say the TV deals will be done.
here is an op/ed piece on C-USA TV deals http://g5conferencenews.blogspot.com...-update_8.html

I agree. I've always thought that is one reason Banowsky was so vocal in his support of UAB.
Re: BB out as CUSA commish
Mr. Peanut makng ESPN news by saying Belt teams need to cut down on money games and play more games against "peer" conference schools so they have chance to go undefeated and get one of the 6 big bowl games. Ha!

This will surely backfire. I can see it now. UL-L beats UAB and Toledo in non conference play and gets "snubbed" because ULM blows their doors off in Laffayette in front of all of ULM's recruits.
Re: BB out as CUSA commish
Yes, he might want to mind his own business, cuz the majority of the G5s HAVE to play money games to support their athletics program$.
Re: BB out as CUSA commish
I think senility has landed in that Mr. Peanut brain.
Re: BB out as CUSA commish
Mr. Peanut's leadership phrase used to be "WAC- Play Up", but that has now morph'ed into "Slumbelt- Play Down".
Hmmmm.

New C-USA TV contract: Outgoing Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky took questions from the media during media day Wednesday too.The league’s current television contract with Fox and the American Sports Network will expire in June 2016. Banowsky, who will stay in his current role until his replacement is hired, said he expects the new deal to be announced “by the middle” of the upcoming academic year (2015-16).
“We have a team that’s working on it,” he said. “We have an agency out of Raleigh (North Carolina) that does these things. They’re in discussions with all of our TV partners, and we’re starting to get some structure around (the new contract).”
Banowsky also didn’t rule out the possibility of a new TV partner, such as ESPN, coming on board with C-USA either.
