C-USA goes through yet another reincarnation

Recommended Posts

What USM and the rest of the remaining C-USA schools can take heart in is that the league will be on the same level as the AAC when the current BCS system comes to an end before the 2014-15 season. The AAC, C-USA, Mountain West, Sun Belt and MAC (also known as the Group of Five) will all be lumped together with the highest rated team out of the five conferences earning a bid to one of the three major bowl games that do not have contracts set with the power conferences. The Chick-fil-A, Cotton and Fiesta bowls will be among the three potential destinations for one team from the Group of Five.

USM fans that sulk over the school's current conference affiliation are mainly turned off by the lack of quality among C-USA opponents.

This year's home league schedule of FIU, FAU, MTSU and North Texas creates talk among fans of just sitting on the couch this year. The Eagles' four most attractive league opponents are all on the road -- Louisiana Tech, Marshall, East Carolina and UAB.

That's not to say that Middle Tennessee is any less of a team than those in USM's four road games, but the fact that MTSU is the most well-regarded home opponent leaves many Golden Eagle fans shaking their heads.

However, USM fans had similar complaints back in 2005 when Tulsa, SMU and Central Florida were brought into C-USA to make up for other defections.
