Sun Belt expansion

I saw something where there was a group of schools they were looking to add but there wasn't one name that I can remember because none of them moved any kind of needle.

CUSA I suspect will survive but it will be a shell of itself.

The thing to watch will be if the Sunbelt gains serious ground on the AAC because from what I'm looking at it's a close comparison.

AAC
Alabama-Birmingham, Charlotte, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Memphis, Navy, North Texas, Rice, SMU, South Florida, Temple, Texas-San Antonio, Tulane, Tulsa

Sunbelt
Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Louisiana, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Texas State, Troy plus add Old Dominion & Marshall.

Won't take much for the Sunbelt to be more relevant.

That's rough.
 
The best (or sad) part is the Sunbelt Schools that left for an upgrade and now will be left holding the bag:

Florida Atlantic
Florida International
MTSU
North Texas
West Kentucky

North Texas and FAU are going to the AAC but true about the other 3

La Tech is in there too.
 
Sun Belt making these announcements like they doing something pulling in 1-6 Southern Miss and 1-6 ODU is kinda funny tho

I was listening to a guy tsk about Conference USA and he had some good points:

1. It has the lowest conference payout at about 500K
2. The distance and travel for non-football schools is a big burden financially
3. NCAA has a limit of a minimum of 6 teams to be a conference

They’ve got some big issues on their hands and they don’t have to be solved this year but there’s no guarantee that they will survive even if they find solutions.
