New CUSA Map ?

[qng001]

I would imagine MTSU would fill that gap nicely (TWSS) between Marshall and ECU...

Or SMU, after they'll get tired of flying all the way to the northeast.

So if UTEP eventually moves to MWC, then who is replacement?

I would think it would look like this:
West
Tech
Tulane
Rice
UNT
UTSA
Tulsa

East
S. Miss
UAB
FIU
ECU
Marshall
???

Probably happen at the big merger with MWC so who knows. Hopefully SMU will come running back to the close travel love and private school draw of the MWC/CUSA merger. Plus a conference they might compete for championships. Just say no to MTS.

I added Charlotte and Old Dominion. Feel free to share this on the C-USA board.

So, pray tell, who's brainchild was it to think that FIU was a geographic fit?

Fit does not matter when you have market.... :icon_wink:



For what it is worth, CUSA kept #5 (DMA), and added #16, 24, 34, 44, and 80.

[GrassyNoleHitman]

look at this as step 1 in the merger... step2, UTSA ans UTEP move from CUSA to MWC, giving both conferences 12. CUSA West = Tech, Tulane, USM, Rice, Tulsa, UNT CUSA Eaast = UAB, FIU, ECU, Marshall, ODU, UNCC

[KSDAWG]

They should have done that the first time. Put UT something or anothers with the MWC and give us 12.

Have any TV Contract details leaked out yet? Do you think they along with ECU/Marshall were partly behind adding UNCC/ODU for the Norfolk/Charlotte markets?

Of course.

ECU's Terry Hooland has been very vocal in his support for ODU and UNCC

Well, for goodness sake, you would think Holland would have at least cleared it with ODU first.

The good thing I see with UNCC & ODU is the potential for our results to be in more East coast media markets. I think ODU actually has the potential to be really big because it is in the largest media market in the country with no pro sports.

But of course this will take a while.

[Bigdog13]

Of course.

Then it meant more money and people shouldn't be hitching about it??
