Easy, if getting to 10 or 12 wasn't important when you had Pitt, WV, and Syracuse then getting to 10 or 12 now makes little sense with a thin talent pool of schools to pick from.
 
They were left with Cincy, Rutgers, UCONN, USF, and L'ville.  I would have looked to add 4 schools for "FOOTBALL ONLY", they had enough basketball schools and didn't need to add any on that side. The conference is already a cluster #&k with the b'ball only's no sense in running away from that concept. Might as well embrace it.
 
I wouldn't have even entertained Boise or SDSU, makes no sense. I would have looked to add 4 schools for "football only." Leave the basketball side alone where you don't damage it any more. The conference was too big anyway for basketball. And have a solid 9 school football conference where everyone plays everyone else each year.
 
Keep it simple and keep it regional. Build it up over time.
 
And yes the TV contract is pointless, the money is nice[I] ( i don't know how much you think they are realistically getting plus splitting it up 20+ ways anyway)[/I], but adding UCF, SMU, Navy,Memphis...etc nobody gives a flying you know what about these programs now; why will anyone care about them in the future? If these schools are all so "hot" and such "hot properties" then why doesn't CUSA have a great TV deal currently?? Hello!!  What adding this group of losers to the "B" school in Ohio,  the "D" school in Florida, a school in NJ nobody cares about, and the "B" school in Kentucky makes it sexier?  Give me a break
