Some serious, serious ASU butt hurt in the comments.
Great news! I could care less about what those UNC-T fans day.
Seems Appy’s think they’re coming with us still, or at least one of them does:

Form ECU’s main board:

And can I just say, WTF App and ECU? You two have the worst boards on the net!
App State categorically is on no ones radar for FBS. It will not happen with an existing league.

Looky there, we’re worthy of turning a blog article into an actual webpage story. Who knows, might be print-worthy for the Saturday paper. :

Looks like UTSA is in for CUSA:
Sadly our own University is not as transparent:

So us, north texas and utsa all had discussions within the same timeframe with their respective boards about conference affiliation. Hmmmmmm
Just hope we’re all getting excited for the right reasons! Can’t wait to leave App St fans in the dust.
Here’s some nice butt-hurt from Virginia:

Another candidate for C-USA membership is a program in a similar very much similar to UTSA’s. Charlotte has not yet even begun football; it’s launching the sport in 2013. However, the 49ers could be the right fit. Charlotte was an original C-USA member in the 1990s. Its inclusion would add more eastern flavor to replace the trio of squads from that division bolting. The program would also secure another major television market, akin to UTSA. It’s not a far-fetched concept.After all, if UTSA could turn its football dream into something bigger in such a short period of time, why not Charlotte?

I talked to Judy last Friday at the Green Jacket reception and I got the feeling some big news was on the horizon and would be coming soon. This series of articles not only from David and the Observer, but other outlets, leads me to believe things are moving very fast. Judy said she was spending all her time working on conference alignment and talked about how important it was going forward and said to be prepared for something to happen soon.
We are getting hyped about joining a conference with UTSA, North Texas, and La Tech???
[quote=“Charlotte2002, post:19, topic:26718”]We are getting hyped about joining a conference with UTSA, North Texas, and La Tech???[/quote]I’m not. Really wish there was a way to split football and basketball. I know the thinking is that football will eventually pull basketball into one of the top leagues, but that sure seems a long ways off to me. I suppose football is better off in CUSA than the Sun Belt (but how much so after the recent departures?), but I almost would prefer Sun Belt for football only, keep basketball in the A10.
