It’s not complicated if you know much at all about college hoops. Belmont returns everybody and defending tourney champions Morehead returns the best big in the conference while we are sporting a 75% revamped team. No brainer. Besides, who gives af where you’re picked in October lol?

Well Matt Brown has now mentioned Missouri State as a possible target for CUSA expansion. I recommend you subscribe to his stuff, he has realignment stuff pretty well.

Hearing the CUSA candidate pool among FCS teams could expand beyond just Texas and Louisiana. Don't be surprised if Missouri State, or even potentially other FCS programs, get into the mix soon as well.


Enjoy the CUSA I guess

That’s the one.

I’m not saying that Brown said “it’s happening”, but I haven’t heard any serious MoSt talk from anyone so this caught my eye.

I don't see why Missouri State would even entertain the CUSA. It's barely FBS football, you get a CBS Sports Network game at best, you go into a much worse basketball conference. The American makes some sense at least.

The question is actually a pretty simple one-

Does Missouri State see themselves as an FBS school? If they do, then they should look at CUSA. If not, it’s moot.
But, and this is pretty important as distinctions go, looking and buying aren’t the same thing. Nobody knows what’s going to happen next with the NCAA, FBS, and realignment in general. You don’t want to be left standing when the music stops.

They do. Enrollment pushing 30,000 in a metro that's growing at a rapid clip. They're growing out of being a cultural fit in the Valley.

If FBS Football is their goal, they have to go somewhere. They are really a non-factor in the Valley.
