Quote:MTSU’s acceptance to C-USA comes just months after its first bid to join the league fell just short. It will be the third Sun Belt member to announce a move to C-USA in recent months, joining Florida International and Western Kentucky.

The Tennessean

That has to be a mistake.

If it isn't, I'm running over to the Sun Belt board and distributing high-fives to Hilltopper fans.

I guess cusa is expecting more defections......utep, rice, tulsa & someone else (utsa) to the mtn west maybe?

WKU hasn't happened yet, & FAU may be chosen over them right now.

That's what my friend at MTSU said...

I'm thinking that's a typo.. unless something else happened? (I though it was UNT that was the one that pulled the plug on the SunBelt invite and went to C-USA)

I really hope not.

I'd much rather it be WKU personally, since WKU is just so, so much stronger overall than FAU... And plus, FAU is in the South Florida metro area anyway, and you've already got FIU. Go after the stronger program, with more name recognition and potential? That's what I'd do. But perhaps I'm just biased on the 100 Miles of Hate rivalry we've had for so long...
