Dooby, I place the blame squarely on your shoulders.

I don't know what I was thinking. FWIW, the mean greenies were already peppering the C-USA boards.

It my fault, I left their name off, just to prevent 100 pages about the new petting zoo that UNT is thinking about building.

And its going to be a helluva' petting zoo located between 2 Texas interstates adjacent to the UNT campus/Radisson Hotel and Conference Center on 160 acres of prime interstate real estate. We will be sending engraved invites. Check your mail boxes daily.

Wonder if there is any chance CUSA will pull a "MAC" and decide on 14 members? With UTEP, La Tech, UNT to choose from in the west and Temple, Miami-Ohio and Toledo all being discussed in the east...what are the chances that 3 could be invited? Would the latter two leave the MAC if invited together??

CUSA-west: Tulsa, SMU, La Tech, Houston, Rice, Tulane & USM

CUSA-east: Memphis, UAB, UCF, ECU, Marshall, Miami-Ohio & Toledo

I think i suggested something like that earlier, the important thing is that Memphis keeps their yearly rivalry with USM - so there would have to be 'permanent' cross over games.

I don't know how 14 teams works for scheduling in BBALL. In FB, you'd get 6 divisional, 1 cross over, one floating, 3 OOC games. That's not too bad, and makes the Champ game more of a champ game.

I dont think any MAC teams would leave unless 4-5 of them were de-certified for Div1A.

UNT Lifer, I appreciate your sensible input about the prospects of different schools for membership in the C-USA. I don't think UNT has much chance of joining with us, but if you do get it that's OK with me. As I have already written, I favor La Tech because of time zone and geographical convenience. UTEP is too distant for us. I hope this gets settled soon.

Sam I Am, would you like to have a golden opportunity to put TCU and the Mountain West Conference in 3'rd place behind the Big 12 AND a "doubled-up" CUSA presence in Metroplex media coverage? That can be done "IF" CUSA has 2 members in this region. Really, it can...If you are not interested in being ahead in regional media coverage over the MWC Horned Frogs, oh well..... :laugh:
