CUSA Departure Timeline

Hearing any talk of early departure?

At USM and ODU announcements and in stories on Marshall, we keep hearing the same phrase “will enter no later than July 1, 2023” and there have been comments that indicate USM, Marshall, and ODU think they might start as early as July, 2022.

Obviously we aren’t working around the timeline of schools leaving the Sun Belt, the way AAC is doing with UCF, Cincy, and Houston.

The nearest I’ve seen to this was when Sun Belt took in Georgia State a year early in sports that don’t play a season schedule (cross country, track, golf) when CAA booted them from those tournaments and then when FIU joined Sun Belt helped pay their departure fee to A-Sun to get them in immediately. Then MTSU and FAU left early for CUSA. Probably some others I’m forgetting.

Still interesting that there seems to be a chance of some or all leaving early.

Wait ... you're asking us?  I always look for your posts to find information like this.  

Hey I gave ya the part about USM, ODU, and Marshall throwing it as a possibility. Y’all are actually members of CUSA so thought maybe there was other information. I’ve not figured out how to wire bug up inside a toy Jeep

Well ours is trickle-down from Texas-OU, so it would likely only be if they sped up their timeline. I believe their 2022 schedules are already set, so while it COULD be done and they could certainly absorb whatever costs they need to, I don’t think it’s the same for the rest of us. UT and OU could probably jack up their CURRENT year’s schedule if they wanted to.  We don’t have those dollars. 
 

That said, if those teams (USM, ODU, etc.) leave a year before we do, do we get the share of their exit fees since we’re still in the conference, and then have to turn around and give it back when we leave?

I believe the Big 12 is starting with the new team regardless of OU/UT leaving early. I think the plan is to make them pay big $$ if they want to leave before 2025

I believe this is how it is set.

OU and UT are set to start in the SEC in fall 2025.

Houston led the way for the four new Big XII schools to join while Texas and Oklahoma are still in the conference. Theoretically, there would be 14 schools in the Big XII for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. The six AAC additions will move at the same time as the four entering the Big XII.

The Big XII may then invite two or more schools, scheduled to join at the same time OU and UT actually depart. The Big XII may also stay at twelve but I doubt they will. If the Big XII does take these additional schools it will likely be for the 2025 season.

The AAC and MWC will then try to backfill for 2025 accordingly depending on how many are to be lost from each conference.

That's when we get La Tech back.

None. Wren said during either the initial press conference or the event at the stadium that we would begin play in September 2023 or 2024, depending on how things work out.

Sun Belt again used no later than July 1, 2023 at Marshall press conference

      Its in Queens, not Manhattan! I briefly looked at SJU when looking for grad schools, its a very unique university, its not for every student and that includes athletes. I dont know if they have the easiest time recruiting, sure its NYC, but there are plenty of quality programs near NYC. They do have Pitino, but how long is he sticking around?

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.
