If the dominoes fell to the point that the Big East FINALLY takes ECU and maybe USM (after all, the Big East finally took Memphis and C-USA finally took La Tech), what's to keep us from being in a position to take a couple of teams from C-USA? Who would we take? We'd have several choices: UNT, FIU, UAB, UTSA, and Tulane come to mind.

I think the reality of it all is, merely because of perception, that current SBC teams would still want to join CUSA over staying in the SBC.
