HUNTINGTON — July 1, 2013, marks a new beginning for Conference USA.

Eight established members are officially joined Monday by eight newcomers in the new C-USA alignment.

Marshall, East Carolina, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP welcome Charlotte, Florida International, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee State, North Texas, Old Dominion and UT-San Antonio to the league.

“We’re really excited at Marshall with our new members coming in,” Thundering Herd men’s basketball head coach Tom Herrion said in a video clip on ConferenceUSA.com. “I think it’s the first time our fan base has felt so energized because of the regional games the new membership provides to our fan base.

“I think it’s so valuable to us and it’s only going to enhance our enthusiasm for Conference USA.”

Old Dominion and Charlotte will compete in all C-USA sports this year except football. The Monarchs and 49ers are schools in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) — the level formerly known as NCAA Division I-AA — until moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level and entering C-USA competition in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

This will be as good a Go5 conference there willl be because look below at the home cities/areas of some pretty darn good schools, some very cool and interesting regions of the good ol' USA that our present team, new recruits, future recruits and all the Mean Green's traveling fans will get to go for away games and, of course......all the other CUSA schools will all get to come to the dynamic, burgeoning with warp speed growth North Texas Metroplex featuring that city at the tip top of the D-D-FW Golden Triangle...Denton, Texas, America! (Our entire Metroplex area will surpass New York City in population in just a few short years to put some perspective on this as well as the dynamic exposure all CUSA schools will get when they come to the northern part of the Lone Star State).

(clink! clink! spoon hitting side of champagne glass):

So....A toast to Conference-USA! Here! Here!

Hellsbells! Let's WOBBLE! :party0023: (Hey! Mick Jagger and the 'Stones are in their 70's and still rockin'--so watch out for us Baby Boomers because we won't go easy to a rockin' chair) ! :lol2:

      I quit it all after 2022. It just sickened me to watch everyone with any talent just transfer away to the highest bidder. High school football has more staying power and name recognition than G5 football. And that won't change until/unless the portal rules get changes, which won't happen. Greed killed college football for me. I just can't stand watching it anymore.

      So, if we are looked at that way by those guys, which is weird since the AAC doesn't look at us that way, but if they do and can create a level of play that is above G5, but not included in the Power Structure of these 40 behemoth programs, how many teams do they let in? In your view, Boston College, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Northwestern, Purdue. SMU, UCF, Cincy, UH, Mississippi State, Vandy, TCU, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Cal are gonna just play in their own setup? They have to have more teams. Even if you added 10 more demoted power schools, you'd find that they would need more programs. Well, that would mean teams from the top two G5 leagues, the MWC and the AAC, as well as anyone else that could compete. If you are right and we would be relegated to a Sam Houston, SFA, and ULM level, then football at UNT needs to be discontinued. The drain is too much at that point. You wouldn't have bodybag games to pay for the rest of the athletic department anymore. But I just don't see us falling that low. UTEP or La Tech? Yeah, maybe so. But not us or UTSA.

      This is really sad. He sounds depressed about everything.

      I really dislike the judgement of people based on their followers count. Some people don't care about that. Doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about.

      You think we have top 80 viewership? Top 80 donorship? Top 80 attendance? "Potential" will be weeded out. Those data points will be the drivers. I have no idea if we have top 80 in any of those. I feel like we don't.
