I will say, Missouri St has a very good WBB program. Liberty had a down year last year but I doubt they will stay like that. They are usually very good.
Very true on Missouri State, they have more postseason success than the rest of the conference does combined.

I don't have a problem with Liberty, they played an extremely tough schedule. My issue is with the rest of the conference. I would love to be able to bring in James Madison at some point, they are killing it right in all the big revenue sports.

The women don't have line up P4 teams to play a tough schedule. FGCU, Princeton, Drake, Toledo, Ball St., UNLV, Gonzaga, CBU, SFA are all teams that would look good on the schedule

Why would the Big East offer a invite to a team from TN? Just would not make much sense for them. Most of the schools also don't have football at the FBS level

ASUN, AAC, Horizon, MAC, MVC or even the Sun Belt would be more realistic and each have at least one program that would provide a legit challenge for MT.

Since we accept affiliate programs in Bowling, Baseball, & Beach Volleyball can't our ladies apply to the Big East for women's basketball? They're outgrowing CUSA. And maybe better for the men to apply to ASUN.

Most Power teams are not willing to play the women’s team. Even Purdue/UCLA/Iowa State will all be neutral which suggests a holiday tournament classic to me
Women suffer from a different problem. We are Q1 on neutral or on the road, but Q2 at home. I’m not sure I want to risk a home and home with a team that will be Q2 at my place and a real chance for a loss.

Neutral makes us a Q1 game, so if you lose, yeah it’s a good loss and you don’t have to explain to home fans why they are losing to a directional school as a P4 school.

CUSA Naming Rights

Ads on jerseys is next
That really doesn't bother me. NBA has done it for years as has the NFL on their practice jerseys. Just a matter of time till it happens on their game jerseys. Long as it stays a single patch I see nothing wrong with it.

It also doesn't bother me to have field sponsors on the 25. But the 50yd logo needs to be left alone. (minus the pegasus)

CUSA Naming Rights

It's just not the same sport anymore.

Remember when App St. went into the big house and beat #5 Michigan ? That team went on to win the FCS national title and returned all their players the next year to try again (unless graduating of course)

Can you imagine what would happen if an FCS team did that in today's environment? Those players would already be transferred and playing for another school before they got back on the flight home to Boone.

Sad, sad state of affairs. And just not interesting anymore.

CUSA Naming Rights

I can’t wait for college sports to turn into nascar.

“The Gerber, Scott single ply Blue Raider team was really hitting on all cylinders in the first half. And then we came out in the second half and played like crap so it’s a good thing Scott’s single ply is so affordable. Highly recommend. And then there in the fourth quarter, we just kept fighting you know and on that 4th and goal from the one we just didn’t execute. But I thought the guys played hard. I just hate it for gerber, Scott’s, and you know piggy wiggly, Stubbs prosthetics, and all our partners because we had such a good first half.”
