Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 10:57 pmI think the best 3 schools to add from CUSA would be UCF, UH and SMU. Much bigger upside than others mentioned out there. Have to see how it all shakes out.

Re: Chronicle: SMU and UH in Mix
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 10:59 pmYou would have to think that the teams left in the Big East, AF, SMU, UCF, and UH would be a step up for us. Not sure how stable it would be in years moving forward, but it is a for sure improvement over what we have now. I don't mind going forward and having Houston as a tag team partner.

I know a booster from Temple who says they are split. Half of them want to tell the Big East to (Gary Patterson) off and the other half will go back to the Big East no questions asked. I think the Big East kicked Temple out in 2005.

Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 12:46 amI'm sure they still have boosters that are bitter but there is no way they say no to the Big East. They may talk a big game but once the invite comes they will fold and come crawling back.
Re: Chronicle: SMU and UH in Mix

Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:43 amTo round out the conference, I would add ECU. Gives a strong presences in one of the fastest growing states.
