App and Marshall had a lot of really good games back in the day. As much as I'd like it, I don't see us ending up in a league together. But I would love to have them end up our annual OOC rival.

You can take over for Ohio since we dumped Marshall in football.

There is no "step back" to the Sunbelt and sooner or later CUSA fans and administrators will have to accept and acknowledge there is no difference between the conferences. That myth went away a few weeks ago. In reality it went away when all those schools left for the AAC, but it took until the revelation of CUSA's new TV contract and the fact they lost a huge chunk of TV money two years ago but had been maintaining the illusion of all is well with exit fees. Once these administrators start seeing big budget deficits roll in, they'll look at those close by Sunbelt schools in a whole new light.

Please explain what the positives would be?

The travel would marginally better but the reality is no CUSA administrator in the right mind is going to dial the clock back 20 years and merged with the Sunbelt. It just not going to happen.

Your perspective is from playing FBS football all of 2 years, all in the Sunbelt. CUSA is more competitive in football with better talent so why would they merge with a less talented and less competitive conference. Not to mention, USM is not joining up with USA, UAB is not going to join up with Troy and Tech sure is heck not going to be joining up with ULL and ULM, dialing the clock back 20 years. Just not going to happen.

Records since current conference lineup(14-16):
CUSA vs MWC 3-4
CUSA vs AAC 6-4
CUSA vs MAC 10-4
CUSA vs Sunbelt 9-1

CUSA#4 beat Undefeated #1 Sunbelt Champs in bowl. Final 47-28

CUSA#1 beat #4 AAC (6-2) USF in a bowl in their backyard. Final 45-35

2016 NFL Draft:
CUSA 10 + 1 players
AAC 10
MWC 9
MAC 5
Sunbelt 3

My perspective is from following college football intimately for 40 years. You can post this team beat that team and this conference had that many draft picks and so on and so on all you want. All that means nothing going forward. N-O-T-H-I-N-G! You're living a myth by thinking LaTech is superior to Sunbelt programs. I've been to Ruston. I've been in your stadium and basketball arena. I' didn't see anything that justify's the attitude I see from some - not all - of your folks.

What I do know is La Tech has 11 winning seasons in the last 25 years. The last two came in an extremely depleted CUSA. You talk down to the Sunbelt yet 3 of the 8 members you were in the WAC with became Sunbelt schools. Your home average for the past 10 years is 17,686. Your largest crowd in those 10 years was 26,910 vs lowly Sunbelt member Louisiana. The next highest of 26,004 was against FCS Nicholls State in '14. Unbelieveably out drawing Miss State in '08. IMO, La Tech folks have NO basis for looking down on anyone.

Largest crowd was not ULL, last ten years was probably Southern last season when it was a sell out. Didnt even play Nicholls in 2014

Laughable, You have no perspective of starting DIA football back in 1988 and life as Independet traveling to play Alabam, Oklahoma, Nebraska. You see we didnt have the luxury of playing against the lowest rung of teams in FBS footballl like App State does. We went 9-2 beating the SEC Champs Alabama and cracked the top 25 and stil didint get a bowl bid. You have no perspective off starting a DIA program back in the late 80's


You probably also know we dominated the reigning Sunbelt champs in 2014 in Lafayette, Dominated ULL last season and dominated the undefeated Sunbelt Champs last Dec in the NO Bowl. We have nothing to gain by playing a Sunbelt because even if we dominated the best the Sunbelt has to offer like last Dec there are still people like you with no perspective.

I follow Eact Carolina closely and have a lot of prespective about what it was like being an independent in those days. Just to clarify... you guys go 9-2 in 1997 and beat a 4-7 Alabama team and a 3-8 Cal team. The remaining W's were over what are now G5 schools. Congratulations. You also got whacked by 36 at Auburn. You do realize that was almost 20 years ago and the players on your roster today were at most 3 years old. Ancient history by today's standards and that's exactly what I've been trying to get across to you. It's a new day. Nobody cares what you did 20 years ago.

Your arguement that LaTech is too good for the Sunbelt is based on 1 game against Lafayette in 2015? Seriously?? Hate to break this to you, but that signature win was by 8 more points than we beat them later in the year, our first in FBS.

My mistake for writing Nicholls Stata, I intended to use Northwestern State. Coin flip, still a FCS school. You admitted selling out for Southern, ANOTHER FCS school. Let me get this straight.... LaTech's 2 best crowds the last 10 years were against FCS schools and you're too good for the Sunbelt.

The point is not how good the teams were twenty years ago. The point is that becoming 1A in those days was a lot tougher than becoming FBS when you folks did.

That was the first time we beat Alabama, you see we have beaten Alabama multiple times.
Tech went 8-3 in 1999, with losses to #1 Florida State and #6 Texas A&M.
Tech beat the SEC Champs Alabama (10-2) in Birmingham. They were ranked #5 after beating Florida 34-7 in the SEC championship game. They went on to play Michigan in a BCS Bowl. Let me know when App beats the SEC Champs or beats a playoff team.

So you completely didn't mention last December when Tech beat the undefeated Sunbelt Champs Arkansas State 48-27 in the New Orleans Bowl. Tech broke the NO Bowl record with 687 yards of offense. Maybe it was because a few weeks before Arkansas State manhandled App State in North Carolina.

Tech doesn't look down on the Sunbelt but Tech is not going to go back 20 years and merge with a conference that Tech chose not to be a part of.

I only responded to the 9-2 team and the game vs Louisiana YOU referenced. You keep talking about games that happened 20 years ago. Other than LaTech fans swooning over past glories, nobody remembers or cares. If Tech doesn't look down on the Sunbelt, your fans sure talk lot of smack on our schools.

You may find this hard to believe, but I've been to most of the universities in Louisiana. The resource divide among those schools is shocking. I was always told Louisiana university politics is cut throat and nobody gets along with anyone else. After seeing those schools you don't have to convince me.

Man, you folks started a thread about the SBC merging with CUSA. Do you expect that there will not be responses from a CUSA member?

Responses are absolutely expected. Not so much the we're above the Sunbelt because we beat Alabama 20 years ago "logic".

I wish the title could be changed to..."Why in the world would we want to merge with coooosa".

Not to mention that the one thing that unites everyone is the deep dislike for that school in Ruston.....which was already very well documented in this very thread. (Start around page 30, and work your way up, lol.)

Also, a good summary of this was chiefsfan post #318, 07-04-2016 09:43 AM:

People like you hate Tech because you envy what Tech did in conference affiliation. It goes back to when Tech opted to join the WAC instead of the SBC. You got offended because you looked upon our move as a rejection of the SBC when that wasn't the case at all. We joined the WAC because it was a more nationally known and respected conference. At the time we joined it, the WAC included Tulsa, SMU, UTEP, Rice, and Tulane, so it was really a no brainer for us. Even after those teams left for CUSA, we made the WAC work for us and prospered being associated with teams like Boise, Fresno, and Hawaii. When travel costs didn't bankrupt us like you had hoped, you got mad and you've never gotten over it.

Today Ark St has applied for membership in the Big 12. Even though it knows that Ark St has no chance at being accepted, your administration openly states that it hopes the move better positions Ark St for membership in the AAC one day. I'm sure you're perfectly OK with this. I would be, because I understand perfectly why your administration is doing this. You guys are simply trying to better your chances of improving your lot in life in the dog eat dog world of college sports. It's business. It isn't personal.

And we understand why you're over on the SBC board. You realize teams in what you considered a lower tier conference are passing or on the verge of passing LA Tech and you're holding on to the good times, sorry they are about to end just like the advantage of your prior tv deal did.

And appararently he did not read all the previous posts in this thread that clearly state how everyone feels about his school, lol. Because when he says 'people like you' he means everyone in this conference, and no doubt anyone else that has come into contact with this school and its fans.

He also fits right in on the same assessment by ChiefsFan:
'.......(he) tells us why we actually hate Tech and why that particular opinion is wrong.'

I completely understand why Tech jumped on the WAC back in the day. No issues with that what-so-ever. However, the college football landscape has changed dramatically. The reality Tech fans seem unable to grasp is CUSA is no longer superior in any way to the Sunbelt. All that rich history and the struggles you guys went through to achieve it, has little value today. Talk about a fan base that feels like left out in the cold take a look at Rice. Once a member of the mighty SWC and now a middle pack dweller in a much depleted CUSA. Time to out all that away and face reality.

You right about that, things have changed.

But the present day CUSA is 9-1 against the present day Sunbelt. The polls have the CUSA ranked ahead of the Sunbelt since realignment, also. Until that changes, that is just fantasy talk with zero evidence to back up your opinion.

Yeah I saw it - it was tied 20-20 mid-way through the 3rd quarter. You know stAte's budget and attendance is bigger than Tech's, right? You know we will be better than Tech this year, right?

Hahahaha. We've hated Tech and its fans LONG before the WAC.

You guys just make crap up to make yourselves feel better....constantly.

Did you happen to see the numerous posts on this thread, from every school in this conference, who don't like you guys.....win-lose or draw? And I'm sure that goes for any other school that has had the misfortune to have any dealings with you guys.

Did you ever stop to ponder why it is we still have respect and a good rapport with other teams that beat us (USM comes to mind)...as opposed to the universal hate for you guys?

Those are rhetorical questions.....we already know the answers. You just need to try to grasp them.

However, the college football landscape has changed dramatically. The reality Tech fans seem unable to grasp is CUSA is no longer superior in any way to the Sunbelt. All that rich history and the struggles you guys went through to achieve it, has little value today. Talk about a fan base that feels like left out in the cold take a look at Rice. Once a member of the mighty SWC and now a middle pack dweller in a much depleted CUSA. Time to out all that away and face reality.

You right about that, things have changed.

But the present day CUSA is 9-1 against the present day Sunbelt. The polls have the CUSA ranked ahead of the Sunbelt since realignment, also. Until that changes, that is just fantasy talk with zero evidence to back up your opinion.

You can stop attempting to paint a picture of domination by CUSA. The reality is three CUSA schools are responsible for all those wins. Plus, USM's win over App came in our 1st year in FBS with a RS freshman making his first start. Not an excuse, but a fact.
