    Thumbs Up Old Dominion AD is not in favor of C-USA expansion to 16

    Old Dominion AD Wood Selig interview this afternoon on local ESPN radio: Podcast

    ESPN 94.1 FM: "Would you be in favor of expansion to those 16 programs?"

    Selig: "I think 14 is plenty. I'm not a big fan of trying to remain a 16-team conference. I think that's just a little too many."

    Excellent news!

    I think that's a bunch if idiot sunbelch schools we have brought in trying to sneak their friends in. I don't like MTSU, FIU and FAU one bit and prolly never will. I sorta like NT and WKU, but it's still early.

    MTSU has grown on me. The best thing about FIU and FAU is they are located in a place I wouldn't mind taking a trip to and they kept USL out a little bit longer.

    I'm not saying you have to not like them. I just don't like them.

    It is possible that Banowsky explained all of the pros and cons of expansion and told them how much money they would lose by expanding further, and they are all getting on board. It's not uncommon for people to present a "unified front" after meetings like the one that was just held in Destin.

    Even though expansion was not on the agenda, it was almost certainly discussed at the water cooler. If they all understand that further expansion is a financial negative (and they also understand that the votes for expansion are not there) then they could begin saying things like this today so they don't have to make up reasons for changing their tunes later.

    Obviously I have no inside information on this, but it sounds like expansion will be dead for a while.

    I hope so. Adding UAB to the west would mean that all the schools I want to play in this conference will be on the West side with us. I like that a lot. Rice, NT, USM, and UAB isn't a bad conference slate for us!!

    UAB probably doesn't have a problem with the West like everyone thinks. I'm sure they are content with it as long as they get their game with USM

    I'm the same way. As long as we get our game with USM and Rice.

    Two years ago, our conference trips included trips to places like Honolulu, Fresno, San Jose, Boise, Reno, and Utah. Anything by comparison would be good for us.

    Now, the longest conference trips by our football team consists of El Paso and an annual trip to Miami, Virginia, or West Virginia. Rice, North Texas, USM, UAB is a great conference slate for us.
