Article: Why I’m not sold WKU replaces Tulsa
http://www.arkst.com/why-im-not-sold-wku...ces-tulsa/

...an eastern team should replace a western team
...fails to fit any of the usual models applied in CUSA expansion
...what happens to the divisions(UAB on an island)
...WKU + 2 western teams ?

RE: Article: Why I’m not sold WKU replaces Tulsa
At this point with all the conference re-alignment, it's hard not to take the "who really cares anymore" attitude. You need a scorecard to keep up with it from day to day anyway, not to mention the fact that C-USA started down the tubes when Louisville, Cincy, Marquette, DePaul, USF, TCU, Charlotte, St. Louis, and Army left at the same time. Just let me know when tipoff/kickoff/first pitch is and I'll try to be there.

Fine. Add Louisiana and Arkansas State at the same time as WKU.

I'll be glad when all of this conference shuffling is done with. There are rumblings that we may be apart of a little conference movement ourselves.

I just hope the dominoes fall with the big guys first. I think we may have added teams before things shook out as it is. If the ACC gets raided and the unnamed conference gets raided in response, their contract will break and there will be a chance to improve CUSA.

I too wish there was stability, but in turmoil there is opportunity... nm, what am I thinking, we still have Banowsky.

Would love to have Ohio,UMass, and WKU. Not sure how UTEP would feel about that though.

Not sure why UTEP would be pissed, they play every year in football already.

Possible. I'm not holding my breath though. The only reason to even go would be for a few more dollars and to be in the same conference basically we had been in when it's all said and done. That is if you are referring to the USM and UAB rumor.

That's because they still hold out hope that they can get back into the Mountain West, but that's not going to happen.

UTEP needs NMSU, no matter what the fans think.

RE: Article: Why I’m not sold WKU replaces Tulsa
I really don't care if they do or not. I was simply making a joke about the situation and the fact it would piss off their fans. Them needing each other had no bering on my small joke.

UTEP will eventually be in the MWC. Sad to see 'em go, but it'll happen. They are in C*USA because they want eastern exposure.

We need best available. That is probably either WKU or UMass.

I thought Tulsa was next.

Twitter is also saying George Mason to the A10 tomorrow.
