Just like the Florida schools, we need a team in Texas for visibility and recruiting.

Whatever you do, leave Western Kentucky and UNT in the same conference. UNT needs WKU for one of it's 2 or 3 wins a year.

Athletic $$$$$ for my list.
116.) Louisiana-Lafayette $12,122,861
117.) Arkansas State $10,745,253
118.) Louisiana-Monroe $7,907,960
So it's all about money with you folks?
If we got raided and were in need members and Memphis so happened to still be in the conference I would snap up Red Wolves for sure and
2.Blue Raiders 3. Toss up Mean Grean, Trojans, Hilltoppers, Those are
my teams not for money , mostly location... A State has been good friend and foe for the Memphis Tigers so I have a soft spot for the Red Wolf team from 7 years old I been watching Memphis and A State.

What cracks me up about that video of the MUTS, is they're down 6-0....and celebrating like they just won a bowl.

I like 12 members in a conference. Here is how I would have the combined Sun Belt/C-USA:
East
MTSU
UAB
USA
USM
Tulane
WKU
West
Houston
Rice
SMU
Tulsa
ULL
UNT
Reasons these schools didn't make the 12:
ASU: actually had them in ahead of ULL but re-thought my decision.
UTEP: Too far West; want a travel friendly conference
Memphis: Will probably end up in Big East anyway
FAU/FIU/UCF: Too far South; want a travel friendly conference
Marshall/ECU: Too far East; want a travel friendly conference
UALR: no football
Troy: UAB would probably try and block 3 teams from its state; could add Troy and drop ULL and move Tulane to the West; however Troy isn't in a big market probably
UNO: moving to Div II
Denver: Only a million miles away; no football; not in conference footprint
ULM: I think Tulane is a better pick;
I like how this conference would lay out. I like the spacing. I also like how it is almost a hybrid mirror of the SEC+BIG12. Thoughts? How would your conference look?
Here it is visually:
That's pretty cool.
