Ah ok. I still don’t think that’s a likely scenario - at all. First of all, I don’t buy your premise that the eastern schools are looking to kick out the western schools. Second, even if they did,...

They essentially have their eastern conference with the SBC. They are in a 7 team division with most of the schools they aspire to associate with like JMU, Marshall, and App State. There are no...

Trust me, that's not going to happen. There would be absolutely nothing to gain by doing that. They'd almost certainly lose money with a lesser TV deal, they wouldn't have bowl tie-in's, they...

Let’s say a guy named Dave gets a mortgage so his family has a place to live. But then Dave gets cancer and now he can’t work and has high medical bills. As a result he can no longer pay his mortgage...

Nah, I didn’t say that at all. Integrity always matters.

The fact that an entity breaches a contract does not mean that entity lacks integrity. This is especially true in a case like this where...

Chuck, settle down. You literally proposed two questions in your response so I engaged with those questions. This is how conversation works.

I appreciate your response.

The Sun Belt’s deal is now $2 million per school.

The AAC’s deal is $7 million for current AAC schools, but the C-USA schools joining will only get $2 million.

To answer your first question, yes. Institutions can and do breach contracts. It happens all the time for all sorts of reasons.

As to your second question, I genuinely wouldn’t give a damn about...

Why? What do y’all gain by having these schools stay another year? That would mean they get to walk out of C-USA paying exactly $0 in exit fees.

Sure, the psychological issues are probably real.

What is also real is that you guys are in the worst FBS conference in the country and it is not even close. And what is also real is that once...

I'm happy to know that your cognitive dissonance gives you the ability to believe that you are in a great conference situation. Enjoy that SHSU rivalry.

NIL deals are definitely changing the game aren't they? The good news for LaTech is that they don't have any good players on the roster to begin with so y'all don't have to worry about P5 schools...

I'm just going to leave this post here from the C-USA BBS board. There's a lot of good stuff in there, but in particular I want to point out that this confirms something I've said here before. At...

What I think your university's president realizes that people on a message board don't is that it doesn't help anyone to expend effort being petty and tearing down other universities. Whining about...

To paraphrase our AD, the last coaching change he made was because something was broken at UL. This time, nothing is broken. Far from it. So it would be a huge mistake to look outside the program and...

It is a problem, but it is a temporary one. This will be remedied in a couple years when bowl contracts expire. If you think the Sun Belt’s tie in’s are bad, just wait until you see post realignment...

If you can pay the tuition they just might find a spot for you.

You guys dodged one hell of a bullet. Y’all were VERY close to being in a conference with McNeese.

I seriously doubt they make it anywhere near FCS. The dirty little secret about DIII football is that small, struggling colleges use it as a way to boost enrollment. Y’all would know better than me,...

Rumor is that McNeese and UIW will be joining the WAC soon.

If the MAC/MT/WKU rumor is true, I think y’all will be looking at your future conference mates. Either the Texas/Louisiana WAC schools +...

I don’t understand McNeese either. Their program is in shambles at the moment, but I hear they are optimistic about finding additional funding. Also, I suppose when they look at the future of the...

Yeah, this is the exact same reaction I got when I came here a few weeks ago and told y’all the Sun Belt was about to raid C-USA.

Because I want to be. Why are you here?

No, they absolutely called. But the SBC only wanted one school from the West. And that choice was very, very easy for them when you know that 2 years ago USM’s AD was having cordial discussions with...

Dude…

If you’re a heel, you’re a heel in WCW circa 2000. Vince McMahon (AAC) just took all the faces he wanted, and ECW (Sun Belt) already has its own thing working well and doesn’t want you.
