Troy would move up before us….
and i dont think that the WKU possibility is too far fetched…..their basketball program is the main reason
Rumor is who from SBC who would get recruited to join CUSA would decided by who left CUSA.
IF Memphis leaves expect WKU to replace them.
IF UCF leaves expect FIU to replace them.
What kills FAU is growth potential (lower Students mean lower fans grad which has killed UM) and facilities when compared to FIU. That said some have said they like WKU over FIU

what do western michigan or central michigan add to the big 10? same with ball state and miami(oh). they don't bring in any new markets.Jab979 said
What about taking a team from the MAC like Western Michigan or Central Michigan? I don't know much about either program but I feel like big 10 country is mostly Indiana, Michigan that general area so travel wise maybe it makes sense to add one of those 2 teams

That's true but what about travel,. Wouldn't schools want convenience in their travel schedule? You don't want 1 school in like North Carolina when everyone else is in Indiana, Michigian Minnesota that area. Plus I don't think it's about adding a new market, it's about adding a 12 team to get a championship game. If Notre Dame gets the spot you already have teams in Indiana so that's not a new market either
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

There is zero chance any team from the MAC goes to the Big 10. They will add West Virginia, Syracuse, Pittsburg, or Notre Dame…period. Did somebody really mention FIU? Is that a joke?
No someone said if they take a team from the Big East, then Big East in turn plucks a team from C-USA like a Memphis or ECU then FIU may jump ahead of us to take the spot that's vacant in C-USA

I think ECU is the next school that's going to move. great facilities and an up and coming coach.
were not going anywhere till we get a stadium on campus. the only thing that keeps us somewhat mentioned in these conversations is that we've been winning.
the stadium factor is getting so old and beat. I graduated 7 years ago and its been the same talk. Were never going to better then we are right now, its impossible for us to get any better recruits. what everyone says about the stars is true to extent but what i think most people miss is those 3/4/5 star guys are better athletes, howard just does more with less. could you imagine how much he could do with bigger, faster, stronger guys? we would be a top 25 team year in and year out. he's making more with less but if he had more he could make it legit year in year out. every three star ranked player we've had that's enrolled has pretty much always been a starter and good one. there's a couple of randoms back over the years but those guys were never really on the team/enrolled, from my understanding. Look at Cyrille, Franz, etc… those guys could have all come to FAU but went to play at schools with better facilities a thousand miles away. there's no reason a kid from Florida would go to Central Michigan if we had a stadium on campus, not the one he just finished playing at for four years in high school playoff games.

….. and the more time FAU waits for the stadium, the older Howard gets, so the time he could be spending on improving the team in every single aspect with high ranked players; is running out. Just imaging what he could do with better players.
just my opinion.
