We aren't moving up because we aren't seen as bringing value to anyone above our current home. We aren't going to make the AAC or the networks look at SMU and say that the need to overlap that market by adding in UNT. Look at what they've done since UConn announced they were leaving to go back to the Big East. Nobody was added or even considered. Why? Because the AAC, like the Big XII, looked at the landscape and their network money and decided it wasn't worth it to add anyone. So UH gets stuck in the AAC, much like we are stuck in CUSA. 

The best path forward is to reorganize the SBCUSA. The way I look at it, the Western Teams should be: UTEP, UTSA, TX State, UNT, Rice, ULL, ULM, La Tech, Arky State, and USM. The East would be in 2 divisions: FAU, FIU, USA, Troy, UAB, Ga Southern, and Ga State in the South, while in the North would be Charlotte, Appy State, Coastal Carolina, ODU, Marshall, WKU, and MUTS.

La. Tech will NEVER play La. Monroe. A few years ago the didn't play in Shreveport bowl game because opponent  would have been La. Monroe. Also, So. Miss is not going west, and don't be surprised in the two Louisiana programs don't as well. These are south eastern schools who probably aren't real interested in playing in a Texas conference given a choice. If you take 5 Texas schools, exchange New Mexico State for La. Monroe, you have 6 southwestern schools  trying to sway Arkansas State ,La. Tech. and ULL to play west which I think is a hard sell. Just an old man's opinion.
