Yes, CUSA teams would save money if/when UTEP and Tulsa left and would also see two of their top three programs go away.

I guarantee college football fans know who ULM is after this year. Troy is well known because it has played, beaten and mostly almost beaten the big programs from Lincoln to Athens, including this year. WKU is better known for basketball but is known. Arkansas State has a decent name. ULL is the University of Louisiana.

Old Dominion, Charlotte, Rice? Household names, all?

I hope CUSA takes Ga. State. It would remove the Belt's mistake and worst program.

As for OwlCountry40, I've probably been to more FAU events than you, so you can stick your opinions. I hope your FAU degree was not in English.

BMarkey and GA Owl both make great points. There's still a lot of shuffling left to do. If the CUSA was to add 1 more team from the belt I would want WKU.

If they do decide to go to 16 teams after they lose Tulsa and UTEP I could see them adding WKU and then 3 MAC schools like Bowling Green (WKU in state rival), Miami Ohio and maybe one a Kent State/Ohio/Akron

All of UNT's upgrades (stadium is nice) were done prior to their announcement of a move. They and FIU went out of the Sun Belt with a whimper.

Here's Old Dominion's stadium - decent for I-AA but kind of old fashioned and lacking for I-A. The end zone facility (sort of a smaller version of what Troy is building) is decent.

They are doing an expansion and already have a waiting list for season tickets after the expansion is done…  We wouldn't even fill that stadium with our average attendance :(
