ULM left out, not surprised. People look at our budget and discount us. Nevermind the fact that we finished #3 and #2 the last two years in basketball, we went to a football bowl game in 2012 and we won conference baseball titles in 2008 and 2012. Plus, we sent reps to participate in the NCAA outdoor track championships this year. Oh well...

To the issue at hand, any member school of the SBC who considers jumping ship for CUSA deserves to have their accreditation revoked. The SBC sits in a position of strength. Even if we add two more full members, we will be in a position to make more money per school than CUSA using present dollars. Thing is, if we added USM and Witchita State to our lineup, we could get even more money in broadcast dollars, tighten up our footprint and lower travel cost, and quite reasonably turn this league into a two bid basketball conference. So, now let's get into a revenue and competitive balance growth process. We have the ability to do it now.
