New TV for the belt

[Geaux]

If we are relegated to a life in the G5, I would still rather reside in the C-USA west over the Sunbelt.

Why? Except for Tech, I can see nothing good about any of CUSA.

This is a very realistic view of where things stand right now. We are at this time in a position to be noticed with about the best roster, coaching staff and administration we could hope to have at this point.

Keep it going Cajuns.

CUSA is the WORST conference in football right now…. Terrible TV deal and a commissioner worse than ours….. the Sunbelt was the best G5 conference last year and has some really talented teams this year besides ULM… the Sunbelt can put some separation between them and the rest of the G5…. Our conference has gotten way better over the last 3 years and we will win some non conference games that we are not supposed to…. We are in the best situation as G5 for right now… last year was a banner year for folks watching the sunbelt and hopefully we can keep the momentum going.

Destination cities for road games.

San Antonio, Dallas, Houston vs San Marcos, Monroe, Jonesboro ����_♂️

That means nothing… what we want is schools committed to growing their athletics brand and majority of the schools in our conference except Monroe are committed to that

Well the writing has long been on the wall four power conferences of 16. We are not being invited to that party.

G-5, all you others, or whatever they call us, that’s where we’re landing. As T pointed out, the AAC is our goal (or whatever it will be called) and we need to be ready. The WAC seems willing to take any warm body as is the A-Sun who is allegedly moving up. We cannot backslide. And we must leave ULM behind if the opportunity arises.

That ESPN upgrade stinks of MACtion. Still better than a dead at the starting gate CUSA tv deal.

And money games will become scarce, if not totally gone.

Money Games won’t be scarce, but I think we are in a unique position with Napier…..if we have another Great year we will be in the UCF, Boise St, Cincy convo…..we need to strike while the iron is hot and keep pushing a head in athletics….I don’t think that the bottom feeders in the BIG 12 are in a better spot than us to make a move to a super conference….KU, K st., Texas tech, don’t offer a lot… TCU, Baylor, West Virginia, and OK State are the most attractive outside of Texas and OU….. It will all depend where we are in football and as an overall athletic program when the shoe drops and if it happens in the next 1-2 years and we sustain this success and still have Napier it would be about as best position as we could put ourselves in… let’s hope the Texas and OU thing doesn’t happen and see if the BIG 12 expands back to 12

Kansas is a cash cow for any conference, Texas Tech was in the final four very recently. Those things called NCAA units are worth far more to any conference than another 8 - 9 win football team.

Basketball does not sell TV contracts like football.

[CoolCajun123]

old deal was 500k per school per year.. Guessing it will probably 750K- 1mill

Chump change

So you'd rather go into a worse conference because it would make better travel for road games? Thanks but no thanks

[ManAboutTown]

As of now we have no where to go and if you think the AAC or the BIG12 will want us is still a pipe dream…. 2 good years of football success doesn’t make us attractive…if we beat Texas and win the conference this year we will have people talking….the good thing is we have an admin that is striving for better!

This ain’t 2001. This program is absolutely in line to move up.
