    I know I am supposed to be paying attention to the LSU game but this is FAR more important to our future IMHO.

    There is brief mention on the WAC forum about the WAC possibly inviting other teams. We do not need to invite others unless we KNOW we are going to stay in the WAC for some time. There is no point in saddling the rest of the WAC with CTZ teams if we are going to be leaving. Of course maybe they know that the UCF deal is going to fall through and thus leave us without a slot in CUSA ...

    Somebody has to have some inside info ... a decent hunch would make me feel better. I know Dwayne said that the calm coming from Ruston was a good thing ...

    Whisting walking by the grave yard still or did one of those skeletons come to life and start heading for us?

    This is a stressful time to be a Tech fan ....

    DFM, the possible significance of Depaul leaving CUSA is one less team in CUSA or less likely that UCF will get an all sports invitation??

    This was an expected MOVE by DePaul -

    Look for CUSA to loose posssibly two more "basketball" members only to the A-10 before the 4th or soon after the 4th...

    When the Big XI expands look for them to go to the BE and take a Pitt or Syracuse - then that opens the slot for the all-sports membership...

    DFM,

    At this point, by biggest concern is that the Big East is just going to sit on 8 teams. I realize that this does create scheduling difficulties, but hasn't the MWC been at 8 for awhile? However, UCF seems to be fairly confident in themselves to receive a BE bid. Supposedly, they refused to let CUSA officials come on campus (this is according to posts on another board) to discuss realignment. Also, I am slightly discomforted by the lack of murmurs in the media concerning UCF and the BE. The silence is deafening...

    Sooner, yes I am a law student. Technically my name should now be 2L_dawg since I'm in my second year.

    1L, UCF fans are nervous. They don't know what is going on, and are worried CUSA may tire of waiting on them. I think if there were no chance of them getting the Big East invitation they would be throwing out the welcome mat to CUSA. There was a post on their board that the Rutgers' president said no decision on a football-only member will be forthcoming on the 4th or 5th. There is a lot of speculation they may let Temple back in to fill that role.

    That explains it. I thought it quite odd that a first year student would have the courage, must less the time, to be reading and posting on this board.

    Good luck.
