I've got the feeling Delaware is still in the "crosshairs' of C-USA. (to assist ODU, Charlotte, Marshall).. as I think they were the East fall back if ODU or Charlotte backed out.It's the east/west thing that's going to be a problem.. because the only team that doesn't put all the "power players" (Except Marshall) to the West side would be MTSU, and I don't think they're above WKU on the pecking order.

I don't think Appy State is even on the radar... (not with what's needed to be replaced in terms of tv-eyes)

Marshall AD Mike Hamrick was pretty prophetic with who he felt would be the additions to CUSA the last time. At the time he also said he wouldn't be surprised to see MTSU in CUSA within a couple of years.

Maybe UTEP and UTSA join the MWC after this is all said and done.

When the BE gets done raping the MWC and C-USA, it would not surprise me at all if several C-USA schools join the MWC. Another possibility is re-opening the Alliance idea. Consolidation to protect schools from isolation will become more important than ever.
