Looks like its going to expand and has some great teams they are targeting.

Rice
UTSA
N. Texas
UNCC
UAB
FAU
This will get them to 14 teams but I see them possibly adding more or adding teams if the Big 12 adds Memphis and/or South Florida

I do see the Mtn West adding a several teams to get them to 16
UTEP
Texas State
NM State
Eastern Washington makes the move up

Then Look for Conference USA to raid the remaining Sun Belt teams and Liberty

Maybe the MAC gets UMASS and UCONN as a football only add ons

This is probably the best thing that could possibly happen with the other in-state WV D1 school.

C-USA was nothing but stiffs in most sports, except for a few decent baseball teams, and the national champs in men's soccer.

Thinking you Herd fans will be excited if you get an invite to the Sun Belt.

Have seen some stating that CUSA makes more revenue from networks than the Sunbelt does. That might mean CUSA pulls in Sunbelt squads. It will be interesting to see what Marshall and the few other schools choose to do in response. Also have to wonder if this means more AAC schools will be coming into the newest iteration of the BIG 12 soon.

According to media contracts the Sun Belt conference will receive $17.2 million for the 2018 football season, which is the third-highest figure among the Group of Five conferences. The Mountain West will receive the highest amount with $20.4 million, followed by the American Athletic Conference with $18.8 million.

The Sun Belt’s share is about $2 million higher than Conference USA ($15.6 million) and more than $3 million higher than the Mid-American Conference ($14 million).

Objectively speaking, marshall has a NC in a sport that WVU posters would be constantly beating their chests if the trophy were in Morgantown....and everyone would act like soccer is bigger than baseball.

MY POOR ALMA MATER. WVU ONLY HAS THE 1922 NATIONAL TITLE WHEN IT BECAME THE ONLY MOUNTAINEER FOOTBALL TO NOT LOSE A GAME IN BOTH THE REGULAR SEASON AND POST-SEASON. A CENTURY LATER I'M STILL WAITING FOR A COACH TO DUPLICATE DOC SPEARS' FEAT!

It's a terrible sport played by socialist Europeans and cartel-funded South Americans that no one in the US cares about...but also a sport that WVU fans would treat as the fastest-growing, most popular for those under 30, "future" of organized sports if we ever won its NC.

A lot like many here do with WVU's rifle championships.

You can post this b.s. another 1,000 times, but your propaganda will never become factual. "The 1922 college football season had a number of unbeaten and untied teams, and no clear-cut champion, with the Official NCAA Division I Football Records Book listing California, Cornell, Iowa, Princeton, and Vanderbilt as national champions."


In 1922, five schools were not only unbeaten, but also untied, and none of them was your alma mater. Learn it. Live it. Love it. Learn to Love it.

All Doc Spears had to do was beat Washington and Lee twice, and he couldn't do it. Looks like that tie may have took WVU out of the running for a title. You have to seize the opportunity when they arise.

1922 team played high school competition at best. They even played their toughest team Washington & Lee in Charleston, WV that season. The game ended 12-12 tie. They played Gonzaga in a bowl game.

Can’t help but think the money in the next round goes south. Big12 in real trouble.

with the CUSA defections it will be interesting to see how their TV contracts fall out. Money going south may be right. South to the Sun Belt Confernce. As it stands right now the Sun Belt is stronger than CUSA and MAC. CUSA falls fast and may be on the bottom especially if runors of MAC looking at WKU and MTSU as additions. Those two would be great additions to expand the MAC footprint.

I don’t follow the lower level programs much at this time but I have a feel that is gonna change this winter. I have a very close relationship that’s a Defensive GA on an ACC staff. His next step will be Division I FCS or a program like the ones we are discussing.

The AAC adding the teams that they added was very smart and gets into some great recruiting areas. Plus Charlotte, San Antonio, South Florida, are never bad places to have teams

I thought you said CUSA was adding Sun Belt teams. You failed in that one as 3 CUSA teams jumped to SUN BELT.

AAC will now suck balls.

I can't so the fact that the Sun Belt took teams from CUSA instead of the other way around was so earth shattering and mind bending and amounts to zero. But your post was not wrong Gold star for you
