Inu,

At the meeting, Marshall's travel partner was changed from Old Dominion to Charlotte. I guess that means Old Dominion's travel partner will now be East Carolina. Still no word on travel...

If C-USA continues to hold them at home sites, I'd prefer Charlotte, too. El Paso is inaccessible to the entire conference, and Norfolk is the other bookend.

You don't think Middle Tennessee and...

Hodo,

Where do you think is the best location for the 2015 C-USA Tournament if looking at it from Banowsky's shoes?

Travel partners are designed to kill two birds with one stone for sports like basketball, volleyball, and soccer. It's the most efficient way to schedule conference road trips. Travel partners are...

WKU won't be a member next season, and you forgot about UAB.

After the winter meetings, it was reported that the following would play home-and-home match-ups in hoops next season. (I'm assuming...

Here's the press release:

I'd like to know the rationale behind the Wednesday WBB games. It doesn't make any sense on the surface.

Maybe the TV networks are required to televise some WBB games, and FSN has open time slots...

Men's basketball will use travel partners and play C-USA games on Thursdays and Saturdays. (Same as the WAC)

Women's basketball C-USA games will be played on Wednesdays and Saturdays. (Wednesdays...

The coaches (and players and fans) won out. The administrators lost.

All 16 men's and 16 women's basketball teams will compete in the C-USA basketball tournament.

The tournament will now be a...

The C-USA meetings are finished.

Of course I want what's best for Tech, too. That'd be a tournament in Ruston or Bossier City, but I know that won't happen. I'm looking at it from a C-USA perspective, and I have a hard time seeing...

If only 12 teams will likely qualify for the tournament, you have to look at which teams are most likely not to qualify and which teams are expected to advance.

So what if the SEC is also in Nashville? Las Vegas could handle the WCC, WAC, Mountain West, and Pac-12.

I just don't see anywhere in Florida or Texas (other than El Paso) as a viable option for the C-USA basketball tournament.

Texas and Florida are home to the C-USA cellar dwellers with little...

Of all the C-USA home cities, San Antonio would be the absolute worst host city for the C-USA basketball tournament. Attendance would be next to nothing. If we played it at the AT&T Center, it would...

Next season there will be 16 basketball teams. That's what they are discussing.

Sunrise, Fla. (Fort Lauderdale) plans to bid on the C-USA basketball tournament in the future.

I'm talking about their academic status, not their nicknames.

In reality:
WMU > CMU > EMU
ULL > ULM

But to most people:
WMU = CMU = EMU
ULL = ULM

The common perception is that there is no difference between Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe. Since Louisiana-Lafayette has been mentioned as a possible candidate, people like this sports...

I disagree.

I think C-USA should use the 16-team model of Big East basketball tournament as we knew it.
- All 16 teams participate in the tournament.
- The bottom half play in the first round....

Monday, May 13 - Wednesday, May 15 in Destin, Fla.
