Different than "Memphis and Co". The level of basketball cooperation and investment from all 14 members is unprecedented and I for one am totally psyched.

The current membership could definitely be the equal of anything C-USA did in the 2005-2013 era, which you have described (accurately) as “Memphis and Co.” and is sometimes called the “2.0” version of C-USA.

The original (1995-2005) lineup with Louisville, Cincinnati, Marquette, etc. would be very tough for this league to match. That will require a total, 100% transformation in terms of budget, facilities, attendance, exposure, recruiting, etc. Nothing we’ve seen so far really points to that happening anytime soon.

ummhuhuh.............Charlotte was not only an equal to these teams,but second only to Cincinnati in wins, titles when 1.0 ended in 2005. yes, ahead of Louisville, Memphis, Marquette, etc.
