How is Conf USA not going backwards?

[Joe]

For whatever it is worth. We won't be going backwards, I'd imagine some form of a reorganized Big East existing before we join CUSA.

Who said it wasn't?? You're the one who said don't go to CUSA and go backwards, go independent .... when BOTH are going backwards.

We need more rumors... the longer we go without them the crazier everything gets around here...

Basically #SEC, #B1G & #SEC devour #ACC, so they go after #BigEast to replace defectors.

I wish this would all shake out so we can go on with our lives.. Love the rumors of FSU leaving... I'm guessing they wait to see how much Maryland has to fork out first...

I agree those saying we would go back to Conf USA are clueless. This simply will not happen. It will still be the BE. Long term I like our chances in the ACC.

I like our chances for the ACC too, but C-USA is a very realistic possibility. If the Big East ceases to exist, which is possible ... and we are left behind from an improved conference home .... then I would say there is a 90% chance we end up in C-USA .... I do want to stress, I am not saying 90% likely .... but 90% likely if the Big East dissolves and we get left behind.
