"We're one of those schools that was being considered for any movement
that happened in the BCS conferences, and it didn't happen," Vogel said

Remind me aGAIN which conferences were considering USM? ACC? Big 12? Big LEast? Regardless of how bad things get for those conferences, I can't see them scraping the bottom of the barrel to pick up Mississippi Southern. Neither the WAC nor the MWC would be a good fit because of the associated travel costs. Sun Belt and MAC would be a step down.

Other than that, they don't have much, and certainly wouldn't bring any money to the table for consideration for any possible movement to a BCS conference. On the other hand if they had to play a tougher football schedule than what they currently have in CUSA, they may not be so competitive.
