clt is trying to figure out what to do with men’s soccer. We may need to drop it.
Like a few other SEC schools, men’s soccer would stay in CUSA.
We can just make the SEC offering Men’s Soccer a condition of our accepting the invitation. I am sure they would jump right on it.

clt bets cusa is not going to like that. Let’s just drop it. Helps our title 9 numbers anyway.

We are Top 25 in the nation in soccer, no way we drop it…Its our best sport. We will stay in cusa with Kentucky and South Carolina.
Which one of you let the cat out of the bag? This was supposed to remain a secret until the big announcement at a later date.
We now have proof of this. I checked flight-tracker and there are people flying from Birmingham (SEC Headquarters) to CLT and people have also been flying from CLT to Birmingham.
Harry Minimum, the ODU beat writer, just retweeted my Charlotte to SEC tweet.
clt sees a little smoke.
They interviewed Coach Lambert on 730am this afternoon. They didn’t bring up the SEC thing till after the interview was over. They said that it was just the writer going off geography.
clt says the 49ers joining the sec will be the best thing possible for 730.
Men’s soccer is carrying this school right now!!!
Well, not really, but you could almost make an argument for it.
Ryan McGee may have written that article and put us in the SEC based on our TV market, but there is no way he even mentions us unless he has heard rumors at ESPN or else where about the possibility. I mean he does coverage on the SEC network occasionally.
Putting my tin-foil hat on, it’s very possible ESPN has an agenda and the article could have been them trying to pull off an inception. Their role is too huge to throw out something that gets through all of their editors. All the G5 schools in this article probably got mentioned for specific reasons, and Charlotte could have been in because ESPN wanted to publically tell the SEC, “We want to be in North Carolina, don’t waste your money on Tobacco Road”
I agree Pip that is a possibility, our media is the main driving factor if we ever make it into the SEC.
Hmmm…ABC/ESPN owns the rights to ACC football

Exactly, ESPN doesn’t have anything to gain by the Power Conferences changing schools. If SEC added NC State, or UVA, they gain those markets for SEC but lose them for ACC. Realistically they should look at the G5 School with the best combination of high ceiling and market size, given it’s a market the SEC isn’t in yet (Sorry Houston, UCF, USF).
