The Sicatoka Posted October 21, 2021 Author Posted October 21, 2021 The AAC pulls all SIX new members from the current C-USA.

I don’t think the AAC is no longer as prestigious as they once were but they still think they are the top P6….. they may have brought in some big enrollment schools but no way that is going to make the conference as exciting as they once were…..

Question is if any of the Sunbelt teams want to leave. Maybe the Sunbelt will absorb some remaining CUSA teams but that leaves many schools without a home. Quote

I don't know any inside info, but I would be very surprised. They did a study less than 10 years ago and decided to stay d2. Add to that, the university president is less than 6 months into his tenure. That would be a very quick to make that big of a financial move. I could be wrong, but I think right now they are happy being a very big fish in a small pond. Quote
nodakvindy Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Does the Sun Belt gutting C-USA open the door for a Northern Division, and would the Dakota 4 be interested in pursuing it, perhaps with Northern Iowa and Missouri State or maybe the Montanas. CUSA North UND, NDSU, USD, SDSU, UNI, MoSt (or Montana/Montana St. if interested) CUSA South UTEP, New Mexico St., La. Tech, FIU, (MTSU & WKU if they stay, otherwise perhaps Liberty or FCS moveups) Quote
