Why would they move? CUSA is a pretty good soccer conference most years, and South Carolina has been there since they were full Metro members. I'd be shocked if they bothered to do anything with conference affiliation until/unless the SEC sponsors the sport.

The AAC is still a more accomplished Men's Soccer conference. Also, Vandy and Florida are already headed to the AAC in Women's LAX.

Glad to have ODU as an affiliate. IMO ODU is a top replacement/expansion candidate in the East.

Eyeballing numbers, if the AAC is a better conference than CUSA for men's soccer, it's marginally, and probably not enough to make it worth Kentucky or South Carolina's (or New Mexico's) trouble to switch conferences.

The LAX thing from what I've read was a way to divvy up the schools in the region to create four NCAA-eligible conferences once the AAC decided to start sponsoring it. The most workable solution was to have Vandy and Florida leave the Big East for the AAC, which already had four all-sports members, and to move ODU from the Atlantic Sun to the Big East, which was losing the two SEC and three AAC members. Presuming that Vandy and Florida didn't want to split up, the only way to get both conferences to six teams was to add ODU and keep Denver. You guys definitely got the best program of the bunch in Florida.

Regardless, it's nice to see ODU get a spot at the AAC table, even if just in the one sport. Ideally, both my schools end up here at some point.

CUSA works out better for South Carolina and Kentucky for travel for a non major revenue sport. Besides if all three schools left, CUSA's soccer league would drop to 5 teams. Don't you need 6 participants to qualify for league play.

We are Ohio Dominican Republic University, dropped the R from the acronym due to copyright issues. We are based in Denver, California. Hope that helps!

I guess that for women's rowing, we're all

in the same boat now

Did you mean to use the plural of fan?

Hey! There are dozens of them. DOZENS!

ODU Football has a better fan base than the teams in Tulsa & New Orleans even after starting their program from nothing 10 years ago. The Mid-Atlantic region produces a tremendous amount of talent. The Norfolk area has very few sports entertainment options without travelling to Charlotte or DC. The population of Virginia Beach–Norfolk–Newport News, VA is close to 1.8 million.
I would love to see ODU added to the AAC as a full member.

If you want to speak for Tulane, feel free. Tulsa's fan base is just fine.

Dallas and Houston are by far the best recruiting hotbeds in the country.

As all sports or Olympic meh. We can take VCU Olympic only get a better overall return and at a cheaper price.

Why would the conference take on any more outlier non-rev programs than absolutely required by NCAA regs?

There's that too, though right now CUSA has nine members in soccer (six full, three associate), so if all the affiliates left they would survive, though obviously not be as good and also without any margin of error.

Because if we have a choice why would we take a football school that adds nothing, sucks up a huge chunk of revenue and doesn't add anything Olympic sports wise? VCU is the same market, costs less in a pay out. Can generate more revenue than cost. Has solid Olympic sports.
