If SBC needs to replace TX St. by dipping into CUSA, W. KY probably best of the rest pick. Maybe its a wash with ESPN as far as SBC TV contract goes? We did have a good +20 year basketball rivalry with WKU in the past.

Travelling for Mtn West baseball will suck. Closest road trip today would be Albuquerque. Even "nearby" El Paso is actually closer to California than ito Houston.
& frankly none are all that good or have any winning traditions
Actually had a deal to allow Liberty in. T-Joe flipped at the last second.Quote:

They have been one of the best G5 schools over the last 5 years, with a huge athletic budget and fan base.
If anyone leaves the AAC, I believe Liberty and JMU are the next two on the list.
Out of tech, middle and WKU. My vote is WKU by a mile.
And some of them will be leaving in 2 years anyway. They have I think 7 total baseball teams as of nowQuote:

….Ltur is in a not so good situation……they are in about the worst conference in America and not doing well…..I need Doc Cajun Fun on this but I think USM about to surpass or tie them in many ways……recruiting is a real struggle for the area kids…..any thoughts Doc or others?Quote:
