For Funsies: Conference Reallignment/Creation

[BigE]

Sun Belt has two non-footbasll playing members UT-Arlington and AR-Little Rock. Allegedly there is a mutual understanding between the SBC, UTA, and Little Rock that it would be in all parties' best interests for those two schools to go to new conferences that don't sponsor FBS football. :

And ODU basketball continues it's downward plummet. Heck CUSA was above the Sunbelt....certainly in basketball and pretty even in football. Now ODU is going down into the trenches. The Sunbelt is not the Sunbelt of old...circa early 1980's when we were apart of it.
As far as JMU....to them, basketball over the last 20 years has never been a big thing. They have been a cellar dwellar since about 2000'. But in D1aa or whatever it is called, their football has been actually pretty top notch. I don't know how their football has been the last 5 years but if it's been good, they should be a decent team in the Sunbelt......although their basketball will continue to suck.
But perhaps ODU and JMU bball may actually be winners in the sunbelt considering how low the sunbelt is.....lower than the CAA and CUSA. And CUSA is now toast. Who wants ECU? SoCon? Appi St is not moving to CUSA now

I saw this posted on another board, at this point it’s hard to disagree.

If you're choosing the Sun Belt over the CUSA, then the CUSA deserves to go away.

Didn't the Sun Belt have two top-15 teams at the end of last year in football?

The new Big 12 became the old AAC
The new AAC & Sunbelt became the old CUSA

"I think we would have a great shot against the Cavaliers. They have the edge in athleticism, shooting, and overall talent, but our guys are so much more mature and have decades of experience. Give me the wily veterans any day."

That sure doesn't leave much at all in CUSA with a bunch also just announcing their move to AAC.
Either way, it decimates CUSA but makes for a relatively weak AAC (in basketball).....and I don't think does much for Sunbelt basketball either.
