Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4040784, member: 5685"] CUSA looks like it will survive as a 9 team league. Middle Tennessee is being very shortsighted not joining the MAC. That will leave only Notre Dame, Army, UMass, and UConn as Independents. I wonder if the A10 would consider starting a football conference. If it made cents then maybe they can grab Army, UMass, UConn and then convince Navy, Temple, and Buffalo to join. Six is enough for football and gives them 16 in BBall. Buffalo can't be making much in the MAC and have outgrown the conference. Navy is only in the AAC for football, so they can't be making a lot. Temple I am sure rather be in the A10 than AAC. But what would the $ difference be? Having only 5 conference games would allow for many P5 OOC games which helps with TV money. After establishing as an FBS football conference they can see if any of the FCS A10 schools want to jump up (Rhode Island, Fordham, Davidson, Dayton, Richmond) and/or invite Nova. [/QUOTE]
