How do the "in and outs" of the transitions work? When a team departs, does that open a slot for an incoming team? What do the C-USA bylaws state are the time deadlines for departure and entrances?

With Liberty being indy, could they potentially begin play as soon as they rearrange their schedules? What qualifications do callups, if any, have to meet other than their probation period?

I think it all depends on when teams are leaving. Right now 9 are departing as of July 2023 and 4 are coming in at that time, so scheduling should be seemless..

But if the SBC 3 leave July 2022 as has been theorized, if Liberty is able to schedule CUSA teams and the conference can take them, I don't see where there'd be an issue.

It all boils down to scheduling.

I follow your thought. And it is going to mostly determined by some written agreement. An official departure statement. An official entrance agreement. I believe your conjecture may be correct. And at this stage it's going to be about written agreements and their impacts.

Speaking of Departing/Arriving transition.....

Where do we stand on the transition of "Administrators and Moderators" for the running of this board? I keep seeing LA Tech fans getting banned from this board for trivial matters --deb025 is the latest example-- and I'm tired of it. These are good people, and she is one of the few females that we even have on this silly site. This site needs MORE Deb's, not less. She's a GREAT sports poster, and I'm detecting some heavy bias against women from our current administrators/moderators.

Aside from the simple misogynistic look of it all, I'm now receiving warnings from a moderator/administrator who is a Charlotte and AAC fan. He apparently got bent out of shape because I told an obvious Sunbelt troll who was attacking LA Tech, "Hey dumbazzz, it's all about markets. And Tech has a very small market. We've learned to live with that. You should too, and get over it."

That's the complete post that I received my warning for. Looks pretty mild to me.

I responded in writing to this "Charlotte fan" that he should excuse himself from governing on the CUSA board because of his obvious Conflict of Interest that he now has since Charlotte (his school) is now committed to the new AAC, and not CUSA.

So, this brings the question, how long do we CUSA 4.0'ers go before we finally put some of our own people --people who care about the future of CUSA-- in charge of this CUSA board? And what's "the process" for this transition?

STOP. Why post this? Did you not read the heading of the post? Start you own thread. This topic is about teams. Not about people being banned.

Since Liberty is already FBS, the onboarding to C-USA doesn't have any obstacles other than logistics. Now those logistics might still be daunting, but if Liberty and C-USA are able to get their house in order in time then there's nothing stopping them, or NMSU, from joining early. There might be a fee for leaving from the ASun earlier than expected, but that is probably a minor roadbump.

We're starting to get pretty late into the scheduling cycle though for next year. So unless Liberty and C-USA can work quickly after a potential announcement from the SBC 3 then there just might not be enough time to get it all done.

This thread is about CUSA TRANSITIONS, moving from the old to the new. EVERYTHING has to change. People who's teams are committed to the AAC or the SBC now should no longer have the power to ban someone who's team is in CUSA for the foreseeable future. That's a material issue, unless you're okay with "Conflict of Interest".

So, if LU was able to resolve it's existing schedule, and create an acceptable schedule with C-USA, then LU could join even if existing school(s) stayed until 2023?

Using common logic without knowing any details, it would seem that first an exiting team(s) would have to depart by a specific date. Then, if new entrants, for this example LU, had it's schedule in order with C-USA, LU could come aboard.

What prompted this question for me were reports/rumors that JMU was attempting to join the SBC next year? The same situation exists there. Who are the conference teams at a specific time and then create a schedule. It seems it has to happen in that sequence. And I am hoping someone in the know about the conference rules & regs can chime in with details, rather than conjecture.

I'm not sure if next year is a possibility if all the teams stay, but if the SBC 3 leave then I'd say it's a possibility.

There should be an annoucement within the next few days regarding USM, ODU, and Marshall and if they're leaving after this year. I know scheduling, logistics, and money are the factors.

Ya know, I've always been NICE to you Liberty folks. But honestly.....YOU make it hard. You haven't played a single game here yet, and you're mighty bossy.

The outgoing mods will become mods on their new boards. The incoming mods will become CUSA mods. Simple.

And be careful of what you're griping about. It wasn't a CUSA mod that dropped the hammer on deb. Let's just end this here.

Exactly these nit wit Sunbelt Moderators will ban someone for posting an opposing opinion. It’s just plain un American.

I actually like that the Sunbelt posters ULL can post over here on CUSA. No one needs to be echo chamber without dissenting opinions. It just plain wrong and cowardly to be ban for an opposing opinion.

You're being disingenuous, at best. No one got banned there for having a different opinion. None of you Tech guys offer a new way to look at things. You make some nutball statement that you actually believe and then keep hammering it home with a slew of derogatory statements about anyone who disagrees and miles of collateral damage. LaTech should offer a degree in scorched earth and Deb should teach it. Don't pull the innocent card out on anyone that's read a Tech fan's posts.

There are plenty of disagreeable posts there by plenty of posters from all kinds of places. ATLDawg, or whatever the **** his name is, posts there all the time and hasn't been banned. He's misguided but not nasty. Deb is nasty.
