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.
