  There is only one real problem with the scenario of the SBC possibly taking from CUSA or CUSA being in a weak position the next time realignment comes around. That is TV/BCS money and Bowl bids. It doesn't matter if the news CUSA is at the bottom of the SAG and RPI ratings for the next 10 years, if they still have the most number of Bowl bids and have more money than the SBC then they'll be able to pick and choose who they want from the SBC, WAC, or MAC. Now granted, if it is a long while before the BE makes a move and the new CUSA truly sucks then the likelihood of them keeping those bowl tie ins and getting more BCS/TV money is very unlikely. If conference realignments are just 2 years away then ........ :frown:

no offense guys, but these are some really far fetched ideas here

Not as far fetched as some people thought our idea to form the SBC football league was.

CUSA is simply too far flung to have any long lasting membership of the current 12 beyond 5 or so years.

El Paso to Orlando to West Virginia

I aslo think CUSA has a problem with the public/private thing.
