You know the time period where USM could actually brag about "attendance". Today USM is no different than most...they go by made up numbers. If you (not personally) are going by made up numbers...

UNT had more fans than USM

This years home game avg in Football

UNT- 16,500
USM- 23,000

Rough estimates

We’re leaving, trust me nobody cares and I mean nobody where USM goes we are just finding this very entertaining.

I’m hurt

Actually I don’t give a f*ck about FAU.

Ahhh, somebody seems upset. Keeps getting better.

Nope. Sorry Puddin.

He that protest too much…

Enforcing the conference bylaws is like enforcing a trademark. If you don't defend it then you will lose all rights to do so in the future. Of course the C-USA Board of Directors and legal team made the correct decision. This poll is just for silly internet debate.

They could have also just negotiated, it didn't have to get to this point. SBC3 agree to $XXX and C-USA agrees to have a 75%+ vote to let them out on those terms and this matter could have been settled behind closed doors like adults. But C-USA wanted to act like a spoiled child and will get the negative PR hit for it.

Nobody’s arguing that. It’s how you go about enforcing the bylaws. I think most agree that a monetary settlement is the best solution, I mean CUSA doesn’t really want us here next year at this point regardless what they say. So the question is about the gamesmanship we’re seeing. Many factors at play: public image, money, and as you say a disincentive to leaving early. CUSA membership isn’t in a bad situation currently but are another round of realignment in the next 5 years or so away from being in a real bad place. At this point it’s ugly, everyone is acting in their best interests so we all Homer’s. Are the moves smart? **** if I know, time will tell.

I voted yes (and for the record, I was surprised CUSA made a stand today). I have no ill will towards Marshall, USM or ODU (or any of the 14 schools currently in CUSA), but I did post the other day that I thought the men's tennis tournament should be moved from ODU and the baseball tournament from USM. And I still feel that - in the sports that an automatic NCAA bid is on the line, I don't think a defecting school should be given a homefield advantage. And if the conference wants to take that approach next year with the others leaving, so be it.

Today's move by the conference suggests to me that those things (moving some conference tournaments later this spring) might still be a possibility.

I was about to post the exact thing. We will gladly pay whatever need to be reconciled since we are leaving early.

CUSA won't even come to the table, so this has nothing to do with broken bylaws.

Agreed

Scheduling games for the sb3 to back out of cause damages to sue for.
What does it cost to schedule another team and who will pay that? Etc.

If it's that much of a hassle they can just use mine, free of charge.

I've been busy the last 3 or 4 weeks, fishing, and building houses for others, so I havent kept up with hardly anything about sports, or CUSA. So I'm sure this has been posted at some point on this board...

you have a link that shows what you are saying? I still dont have the time (or want to) go looking for it. But would like to read up on it

CUSA will go broke before USM, Marshall or ODU. That, you can rest assured.

I think this goes to show the level of leadership Conference USA has. Somewhat embarrassing to be honest. Not "forward thinking" at all which is why they are in the shape they are in now. Wanting to live in the past. Especially considering the SB3 have already made their intentions known. What is there to gain by trying to force Marshall/Southern Miss or ODU stay? Even if we stayed the entire length, our time would be up in January. Would you really want us walking out in the middle of basketball season?

Even if we we stayed the entire length, we are gone regardless. We are not going back to that sh!t-show that is CUSA.

An amazing broken record.

I'll type really slow for you.

There. Is. No. Obligation. For. CUSA. To. Negotiate. Anything.

Marshall. Already. Agreed. To. Accept. Being. Enjoined. As. *The*. Remedy. To Leaving. Early.

Breaching. The. Bylaws. Has. Everything. To. Do. With. This. Matter.

In. Fact. It. IS. The. Matter. The. Whole. Matter. In. Fact.

Please tell me you don't seriously believe this is about forcing the SB3 to stay? This is about making the SB3 pay a bigger early exit fee.

Why hang around here now. The sbc has a board you can bloviate on.

I'm glad we have message boards to vent on, aren't y'all?

You can’t ask for those damages if we told the conference we were leaving before the schedule was made. And it’s not really any big damages anyway, yet. We’d likely pay above actual damages anyway without having to cause any.

Once the Big 12 and AAC finalize their respective teams leaving early.....like adults do......if AAC gave the AAC6 and option to leave early.....they would do the exact same thing as the SB3.

We'd want to leave early I agree if the shot was there. We however would let it play out. You can't find a trio of fanbases who would be complaining as much as the sb3. Those fanbases have been complaining on here for many years. This is just the latest b fest

Trashing other programs was a constant too. Can't blame those of us doing it back

Somehow I don't think the AAC6 would be quiet.....
