Just a year ago, we finished higher (RPI) than the AAC. 2nd rated conference in the G5.
Football fell off a cliff this season. Basketball was maybe the worst ever in C-USA.
But we all have been around long enough to know these things cycle. (see UCF, USM football.)
C-USA has schools with tons of potential. It's taking a while to bear fruit. But when we put it together and blow past the AAC again, won't it be fun to witness? Even on BeIN?
NT, FIU, FAU, Charlotte, UTSA, UTEP, and Old Dominion will not be pushovers much longer in football. Right now, it all seems insurmountable, doesn't it? Well, sit back and watch. All of these schools are in recruiting heaven compared to many of the schools ahead of us right now. The worm will turn.
Basketball will improve. Hell, it can't get any worse, right?
Baseball is already a Top 5 conference. Watch us get at least one team to Omaha.
TV will come around once we start winning again, guys.
This is a very young conference as it now stands. Time together will pay dividends.
Kudos to WKU, MT, Marshall, LaTech, and Rice for keeping football on the map the last few years. You're about to have company. From where I sit, we are recruiting well across the board. Most of our programs have great coaches in place. We're about to turn the corner.

I'm tired of being laughed at... no more C-USA jokes. Get behind your school, get behind the conference if you can, and let's build this thing. Have a little pride, and damn the naysayers.
