There mission was primarily basketball and a life support football conference was a bi-product that came by necessity. The WAC 16 looked like the better football league for the SWC schools at the time anyway.

When the WAC 16 broke up the need for a football focus was far more evident. That's how TCU landed in C-USA for a hot minute on their road to yet a better football conference in the MWC.

By the time Rice, Tulsa, and SMU joined C-USA in 2005 football was the undisputed king, hence C-USA's abandonment of the hybrid model.

CUSA didn’t not include Rice, SMU, Tulsa and TCU at all. Those 4 jumped at the chance to join the WAC. CUSA didn’t have any say in it at all.
