Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky, who was in Bowling Green last Tuesday to welcome Western Kentucky to the league, spoke recently with The Courier-Journal’s Michael Grant.

What kind impact do you expect WKU to make in 2014-15?

“I think about it in the long haul. I normally don’t think about it in a one-year increment. But I think they will make an immediate impact. They add a lot of history and tradition, particularly in men’s basketball. We expect them to give us a lift.”

What does it mean for the league to have a Kentucky school back in C-USA?

“We had a great experience with (the University of) Louisville and really enjoyed the leadership of (athletic director) Tom Jurich.
