I like this too, and it keeps a tighter geographic footprint. It would just make TxSt even more of an outlier, but I think they wouldn't mind being in a conference that included those two schools along with current members. But I completely understand their desire to be with other Texas schools and CUSA west offers that. Other than that there is no real benefit to move to cusa.

This option may have been posted before, but what about:
GSU to cusa

USM,WKU, and (insert Texas school of choice here). I know the CUSA schools would currently laugh at the idea, but give it 5 years and lets see where we stand.
We'll both have had time in the current version of each conference to really judge where each one is actually placed and both will have updated TV deals.

SBC East
GS
App
Coastal
WKU
Troy
USA

SBC west
ULL
ULM
stAte
TxSt
USM
(other Texas school)

Plus the 2 non-football schools and you could have a different division for those sports if needed. I would also like to see stronger ties between SBC and CUSA members and more games between the 2 conferences.

Just a thought. I would like that conference.

ok, back to reality

You would rather have a conference composed of SBC/CUSA schools when there are schools in your "pool" and geographic footprint of greater quality than those you proposed?
