Delaware joining CUSA?
- Thread starter utep2step
- Start date
Low Key Great East Coast School, that probably should've been FBS awhile ago. However, yet another school that Utep football will have to make a long trip to the East Coast and probably lose of football isn't turned around soon!
They would likely go to the system where UTEP and others would have two or three teams they pay yearly and then rotate the teams they play other years. This would still allow the conference's two highest-rated teams to play for the championship each year.
I think Tarleton State is trying to position themselves for an invite. Football attendance was around 18.5K this year, just between SDSU (87th) and Duke (86th). They were 4th among all FCS schools. They would be my bet.
This is a joke right? Lol Texas State was better than us this year over in the Sun Belt
12 bowl eligible teams vs. 4. Athlon and CBS Sports have the Sun Belt as the top G5 conference (6) and 7 respectively. Ain’t TX ST gonna leave the Sun Belt for CUSA.
Someone please tell me this is a fvcking joke. I mean, Delaware makes as much sense in CUSA as UTEP being in CUSA.
Oh, wait...
Oh, wait...
I'm sure they pick UMass to give Delaware a travel partner. Tarleton being no. 13 would only make since if they have a 14th member in mind. Regardless CUSA is almost as bad as the ACC and BIG 10 with teams spanning the US. Just much more suckier teams of course.
Eventually all these cross country conferences are going to fall apart.
Delaware has a lot of tradition and is big time in that state! A lot of famous alumni and money and will probably do much like JMU once they move up! Yes they have that much support and backing. This is a sneaky quality addition for CUSA. Much better than Kennesaw St. They have a very nice remodeled stadium and it'll be a tough place for UTEP to travel and play. With that said..... UTEP has to make a commitment now to Football or Liberty, Jacksonville St. and now Delaware and others will continue to make Utep a door mat to step on.

Report says Missouri State 'remains an option' in Conference USA expansion
Missouri State is back in national conference realignment reports. The latest one connects MSU to Conference USA.

Utep is in a conference with Sam Houston State and Jacksonville State.
Im trying to think of another school who has sunk lower than Utep?
Only other school i can think of is UCONN, and now maybe Oregon State and Washington State.

UCONN is in the Big East!!! They've won 2 national Championships in the last 8 years, what are you Smoking!? As far as Uconn Football they were never P5
UCONN was in the Big East in football. Big East use to be a power football conference. What are you smoking?
They were only in the Big East for Football from 2004-2012. Again they have won 2 Natty's recently and are in a Premier Conference for Basketball. It is not the same as Utep or anything close. Utep has never been in a Power Conference and has never been relevant in Football and barely relevant in Basketball when we had Haskins. UCONN is and will always be relevant in Basketball. They were never really relevant in Football. Yes some of their friends left them behind in Football, so if that's your only point then I suppose I can see what you're trying to sling at the wall to see if it sticks. P.S. I am smoking some good Green I got from Denver from a good friend who owns a shop up there 🙃
Twenty or so years ago they invested heavily in football, knowing that basketball is great, but D1 college football is the cash cow. It didn't got well but they did make the Fiesta Bowl and lost to Marshall in 2022, under Covid bowl requirements I think?
UCONN was first passed on by all the old big East football schools. Big Ten picked Rutgers over them and then they went all the way to the West Coast to add schools. ACC added SMU and Big 12 added Houston and BYU. But none of the power conferences want UCONN. Yeah they keep winning in basketball, but like you said it's all about football. UCONN has won national titles and power 5 conferences still don't want them. Yeah UCONN probably has had it worst than Utep. You should stop smoking up there in Denver. 🤨🤨🤨
Fili everyone on Miner digs knows you are on something 90% of the time lol 😅 If UTEP was in the Big 12 RN as an example and has been winning Natty's in Basketball recently and 4 in the 2000s, how bad off would you still think we were? Lol 🤣
What are you talking about? UConn was a founding member of the American Athletic Conference with the rest of the Big East football schools when the Big East kicked out the football schools. Years later, UConn decided they would rather rejoin the Big East in basketball and go independent in football than to stay in the AAC. They decided their identity is as a basketball school, at the expense of their football team, and they committed to it. It was a choice that they made, not the old Big East football schools.
I'm talking about when Big Ten and ACC came calling. They broke apart the Big East football conference. Big East was part of the big boys. Natty said that Uconn was never part of a power conference in football. What are you and natty smoking??
