North Carolina,

So glad that they lost. If we had cheated and done what they had done for the last few years the NCAA would have shut down not only our basketball program, but our whole sports program as well. They would have given us the "death penalty" for years, yet NC is allowed to go on as if nothing has happened. We will be hit and punished because we are in the group of five and NC and L'ville and Pitino get away with everything. I don't know why we can't get us an "Johnnie Cochran" and sue the hell out of the NCAA "the group of five" and get the same treatment and sue Disney and ESPN as well. Tired of being treated like this. Two set of rules, one for the P5 and the G5's. One set for the rich, another for the poor. One set of rules for the pro athletes and another for the common man. One set for the Mighty SEC,which State and Ole Miss are enjoying, and even the other P5's don't get, but the G5's don't even get a sniff at. Can't stand anything like that. Oh, back to my original thought, glad Nova won.

We had our chance in the 8 th to do some good but come up short with OP

Ya' know, I used to scream about playing to win in these games, and almost invariably what I got was, "These games aren't important." I guess that somehow they have become important now that Berry is kind of on the hot seat. It's very hard to have everything our way. I hope Hopson gets the job done, and I hope Berry gets it done this year. As we should have learned by now, changing your coach is a little different than changing your underwear.

We will miss Braley, but we still have a lot of talent out there.

Come on Eagles !!!!!!!

How to make C-USA better

It's slow around this time dealing with football/realignment news so I figured I'll kick off a question. Before I start, yes, I'll rather be in the AAC and restore many of our former rivalries. I understand that the money may not be much better but our current C-USA money now is based off the teams that left. How bad will it be in renegotiations? I have no clue. Media perception is better. If I were to base the pecking order of the G5 school based off ranking throughout the season it would be: AAC, MWC, MAC, C-USA, Sunbelt. It's unfortunate for us but it is what it is.

There's a chance the B12 doesn't expand or that the AAC doesn't ask us to come. So now the question, what can we do as a conference to build ourselves up? What's stopping C-USA from being the best G5 conference? Our top teams are LA Tech, WKU, USM, and Marshall. How can we get on equal footing or surpass the AAC and MWC? I noticed that those 2 conferences have a military academy in them. Would it help to bring Army back in to the conference? I'm just throwing ideas out to see if C-USA is our home, what are the next steps to making sure it's built as strong as possible.
