That's your opinion, sturt. And you have expressed it tirelessly.

Please, I'm begging you, please quit replying to my posts. Your replies are just killing threads.

You could have summed all that nonsense up with a simple "I think otherwise, DJ".
But instead, you try to put down other people's opinions and continue to force your opinion as fact.
Seriously, man, please don't reply. I can't take another book of a reply on here. I will delete it.

So there's no point in arguing what conference we're in.. no one cares unless you're in the SEC.

Ah, there's that "relevant" concept again. Nice to see someone bring things into focus.

You have more patience than moi. It is hard just avoiding his posts when reading a thread.

It's called an ignore button. Please, by all means, have at it. Hard to avoid your whining otherwise.

CUSA 3.0 will definitely seem weaker at first because of the weaker perception of the SBC additions and the fcs move ups.

Truth is, the SBC additions of MTSU, North Texas, FIU, FAU, WKU will be very competitive and will match up well with the CUSA 2.0 leftovers.
LaTech is a strong football program finally in a CUSA they love to call home.
LaTech is another Southern Miss/ Marshall type program.

Truth is, the only weakness in CUSA 3.0 will be from the newbies UTSA, Charlotte, and Old Dominion.
But let's break that down.
Old Dominion and UTSA will be competitive faster than most predict. Both programs are doing well. And both have the means and leadership to keep growing and get even better.

Which leaves us with Charlotte.
They literally are brand new. They will start a football program and literally jump in CUSA.
They will take their lumps.
They will be the weakest program in CUSA 3.0.

IF CUSA 3.0 should indeed go to 16, IMO it will be two of these schools.......Arkansas State, Louisiana, and *Delaware*. Yes I said Delaware. Yes, another FCS move up.
Yes, it is a possibility.

Last year, the SBC enjoyed its most successful year. And now CUSA has gutted SBC. Sound familiar?
CUSA 3.0 will be just fine in football.

The new additions have comparable budgets compared to the teams that left, similar size media markets and they are growing. I'll never try to sound pessimtistic about the world in order to sound like a wiseman as so many west virginians (and also sturt) often do. I'm very happy with our new conference and I look forward to the new rivalries.
