  2. Complete breakdown of CUSA Football for 2021: This one is where the NT one starts:
  3. CUSA and PAC12 are the only conferences having their championships on Friday 12/3 PAC12 - Friday 12/3 - TV: ABC CUSA - Friday 12/3 - TV: CBSSN SEC - Saturday 12/4 - TV: CBS B12 - Saturday 12/4 - TV: ABC ACC - Saturday 12/4 - TV: ABC B10 - Saturday 12/4 - TV FOX AAC - Saturday 12/4 - TV: ABC SBC - Saturday 12/4 - TV: ESPN MAC - Saturday 12/4 - TV: ESPN MWC - Saturday 12/4 - TV: FOX This update per Brett McMurphy/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Brett_McMurphy/status/1430576395860815875?s=20
  4. If the SEC would have waited to invite Texas and Ok until after everyone voted For the 12 team playoff it would have been Better for the SEC and us. Now because of the formation of the Alliance (ACC Big 10 and PAC 12) The Alliance would not want the playoff expanded. Sad.
  5. If B12 terminated it would mean that 2 G5 conferences should get an auto bid. If B12 stays in place taking the strongest programs from AAC the chance for a C-USA school being the highest ranked G-5 champion greatly improves.
  6. Found this on another board and thought it was pretty spot on: I did this same exercise a year or so ago with just CUSA and SBC to see who, based on data, should be selected for the hybrid conference that we all love to talk about. Now, given the inevitable shakeup we're going to see in conference realignment, I thought it might be fun to do again with AAC added into the mix. I compiled 10 years of data for football (FPI) and basketball (KenPom), and then 5 years of data for women's basketball (RPI) and baseball (RPI). I then weighted the rankings based on the average % of revenue for each sport (i.e. football accounted for 60.41% of everyone's budget on average so the ranking was weighted in accordance with that). After plugging all of this in, this was the resulting conference: SMU Tulsa Tulane Temple Louisiana USF App State Marshall LA Tech UAB FAU Troy WKU Wichita State Doing this I assumed that UCF, Cincinnati, Houston and Memphis would get poached. If it ends up being SMU instead of Houston or Memphis then that wouldn't change too much since they're all similarly ranked among the group. Wichita State is #1 in basketball by a huge margin so I assume that they'll be asked to join whatever ends up happening. This conference would end up with 1/3 of the good football programs (top-50), both of the good basketball programs (top-100), 4/5 of the good women's basketball programs (top-100), and 7/14 of the good baseball programs (top-100). This data was hard coded so please don't crucify me if I miskeyed something. I've attached a copy of the file I put together for you to manipulate however you'd like. EDIT: Can't upload excel so here's google doc https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bwncl_6...sp=sharing View Full Article
  7. Big accomplishment for the conference as UTSA running back Sincere McCormick landed on the Phil Steel All American list second team. Last week, McCormick was named a Walter Camp Preseason Second-Team All-American. He also was named Best Running Back and first-team All-Texas College by Dave Campbell's Texas Football earlier this month, as well as a preseason first-team all-conference selection by Athlon Sports in May.

  8. https://conferenceusa.com/news/2021/2/25...ships.aspx DALLAS –Conference USA has announced that it will provide an opportunity for all member institutions to participate in its men’s and women’s basketball championships this season. The Air Force Reserve C-USA Basketball Championships presented by Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Frisco will adjust the schedule to accommodate games to be played on Tuesday, March 9 and run through Saturday, March 13. The brackets for this year’s Championships, including seeds and tipoff times, will be announced at the conclusion of the regular season on Saturday, March 6.
  9. Coastal Carolina's men's soccer is leaving the Sun Belt and will begin play in Conference USA in the fall of 2021. The addition brings C-USA back up to 9 Men's Soccer programs. Coastal's move leaves the Sun Belt with only 3 Men's Soccer programs. Link: https://goccusports.com/news/2021/2/25/c...e-usa.aspx
  10. “According to the release due to COVID-19 protocols, tickets for the 2021 Air Force Reserve C-USA Basketball Championships Presented by Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Frisco will not be available for sale to the general public due to limited capacity. Each institution will receive an extremely limited number of tickets for family and friends“ https://wkuherald.com/sports/update-on-c...4cb35.html
  11. Houston will host Western Kentucky on this Thursday night. huge game!! This could be the opportunity the conference was needing!
  12. UAB has really done a fantastic job. Soon to be the nicest stadium in CUSA.
  13. Chris Robison, former FAU QB is entering transfer portal.
  14. I'm saddened that the best program in C-USA is not able to play in a bowl. Many lessor ones did get to play. This does not at all seem fair given the circumstances.
  15. Asher O'Hara the QB for MTSU is entering the portal. Thought you guys would want to know.
  16. https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...lt-scandal More than two years after receiving an NCAA notice of allegations, and more than four years after firing football coach Art Briles and disciplining other administrators for their roles in a sexual assault scandal, Baylor officials are scheduled to appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions on Monday.
  17. Rice required UTEP's football team be COVID tested upon arrival in Houston instead of before they left El Paso. Head Coach Dana Dimel agreed to that months ago. The team was tested upon arrival in H-Town, and then the game got cancelled. The players who failed their test had to take a bus 1000 miles back to El Paso. Sad! https://twitter.com/AndyMorganTV/status/...4057965572
  18. Found this on the CUSA site and thought you fellas would be interested: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-s...576420.php
  19. The Big 10 is back and now even the Pac 12 and MWC are thinking about it -- , does this force ODU to call Judy with hat in hand?
  20. Interesting looks like Rice and UAB are at a higher level than the rest. Of course rankings can be subjective. 16 Rice 153 UAB 187 FIU 227 Charlotte 249 North Texas 258 ODU 272 FAU 284 Marshall 298-389 LA Tech 298-389 MTSU 298-389 WKU 298-389 USM 298-389 UTEP 298-389 UTSA https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges
  21. ACC men's basketball coaches are proposing an expanded 2021 NCAA tournament that would include every Division I team. "I am so proud to stand UNITED with every coach in the ACC in the belief that every Division I college basketball program should be allowed to participate in the NCAA Tournament this year!" Forbes tweeted. "This is what's best for our student-athletes, fans and the sport of college basketball. It will incentivize everyone that loves and cares about our great sport during these unprecedented times, and it will provide a safe environment for all to participate in. LET'S GET THIS DONE!"

  23. OL Chandler Anthony elected the transfer portal. As a graduate transfer he is eligible to play right away.
  24. https://www.pilotonline.com/sports/colle...story.html A lot of really sad stuff here. including these things: - CUSA will give members about $1 million less than years past - Conference membership decisions need to be made” to reduce expenses and missed class time while generating more fan interest - All schools must be prepared for partial or total interruption of the 2020 football season.” - Losing the NCAA tournament resulted in a loss of $867 million Tough times for all I'm afraid.
