Possible c-usa opening?

[UL-Lreality]

why would c-usa pick UL to be a FOOTBALL member of their conference, when it is obviously the only sport, out of all our sports, in which we still are terrible in.

Exactly my thoughts! CUSA will not come looking to lafayette for the cajuns to join their conference. Nobody should be setting themselves up for this! If any team in Louisiana will be in CUSA it will be LaTech. I really just cannot see ull moving to another conference anytime soon. At least for the next 5-10 years. By then, they will probably be locked out of any mid-major to major conference as these will be situated exactly where the want to be. It's going to be even tougher to be a cajun fan in the future!

While I think UL would be a better "all-sports" choice, right now LaTech would be a better football only choice. Also, they were at least in the running last time when UTEP got in. Certainly you'd have to factor in UNT a little ahead of us right now. I'm hoping Tulane can get their act together and continue to compete in CUSA. I'd rather have them as a conference partner than take their place anyway. Only thing I disagree on is your final thought that being a UL fan in the furure will be tougher. Guess I'm just a glass half full kind of guy.

You think SMU , Tulsa, Houston, East Carolina, Memphis, are great football sports. Come on , give me a break. I believe within 4 years our football program would be better than theirs. We can compete in basketball, baseball, win softball, and all others would fall in place. Be optomistic. Until we got into this conference we were getting a minumal number of prime players. Also , our end of the year televisions revenue shares would be tremendous.

Think about it.No more scheduling big schools, if we needed an extra game we could play a Sunbelt School to complete our schedule.

We gave the game away to the leading team in CUSA-UCF sits atop one division---We can play in that league--especially with some beef up front!!!!

I have always said we would have better records playing in bigger conferences. Heck, the team in the middle of the pack in the SEC (Vanderbilt) lost to a lowly Sun Belt school that we beat!


Big Conferences are overrated!
