Rules are rules. They don't play football, they can't be members of CUSA. Doesn't matter they had a very good basketball team in 2014-15! They don't play football, they should be out after the conference meeting.

i think they will be able to stay at least for 2015-2016 until they can find a new home

I'm hearing they are done and we will stay at 13 with the new lax rules set to take place next year.

I hope they don't allow them to stay for the 15-16 season. That isn't meant to seem callous, but they withdrew the day they dropped football in my opinion. This needs to stopped being couched as CUSA kicking them out or allowing them to stay.

If they can't get football, they need to go. It is what it is.

I'm ok allowing them the 15-16 season as long as all revenue sharing is forfeited. If that happens, then no big deal about letting them hang around for another potential conference invite.

1) No revenue sharing.
2) Ineligible for any championships.
3) Ineligible to represent the conference in any postseason tournament.

If they'd agree to those, then I'd be willing to hold my nose and let them hang around until June 30, 2016.

Based on UAB's favored status during the tournament, I'm pretty sure Barnowski loves UAB as much as Benson loved Boise.

Yep!

To the curb Alice.

I'd rather see them stay in CUSA if the alternative is that ULL gets invted as their replacement in CUSA. I do not want to share a conference with that shithole school in Lafayette.

Amen! Just stay at 13 for now.

Agreed, I am all for staying at 13 until there is someone we want to invite. No need to fill a spot just to fill it.

(2) & (3) is not going to happen. Bankowsky didn't like the way ODU players were treated by CAA after they announced they were leaving. To paraphrase, don't punish the players for the decisions of adults.
