I think they will need at least 2 years to recruit before they play a game. 2017 as FCS independent. 2018 as C-USA transitional. 2019 as full C-USA member.

Thanks for sharing those articles.

I'm sure there are decent universities that would like to be associated with UAB, and I think Louisiana Tech and the rest of C-USA are firmly in that camp. I...

Can you point me to an article that talks about the MVC possibly expanding? I'm really curious because it just doesn't make sense to me. They'd likely have to bring in an OVC school with UAB, and I...

Right. That and I think even more they were invited because Benson was in survival mode during a period of instability in the conference landscape. They weren't invited out of pity or to help those...

Conferences will NOT invite a school out of pity or to help a school out of a bind. See the NJIT situation where NJIT sits in the footprint of several conferences, but nobody will invite them because...

It was definitely a reckless decision by their admin because I really don't think there is a viable conference for UAB without football, but I think C-USA will give them a year, not out of pity or to...

I honestly don't think you have a shot. I think the MVC is a pipe dream for UAB, but maybe I'm wrong. I honestly don't think a single conference you mentioned in your post would invite UAB, but...

No. Mr. Peanut wants to add a FOOTBALL school. FIU may not have been ready yet, but FIU isn't going anywhere unless they voluntarily leave C-USA like UAB decided to do. And nobody else is gonna do...

Wait til FAU folds in 1-2 years??? What are you talking about? They are in much better financial shape than us. FAU is doing everything the right way and has a very bright future ahead of them. Think...

Do you honestly think UAB has a shot at The Valley? Where do you think UAB ends up if not C-USA?

I don't think you can FOIA any conference officials. C-USA is not a public entity.

Ron Thulin interviewed Banowsky today. BB basically said that C-USA will give UAB time to get their decision right. He said C-USA is in no rush because of the stability in the conference landscape...

Interesting. I'd give them about a 1% chance that the MVC would take them. The MVC has 10 teams, which is the perfect number for a basketball league, and UAB would be somewhat of a geographical...

And the only way UAB should get a non-football exemption to remain in the conference is if Army would like to re-join C-USA for football only like Sportdawg mentioned above.

I think they'll give UAB a few months until the May meetings before the board makes a decision.
