"This is Mississippi Today and we are much more interested in Southern Miss. The geographic nightmare that is CUSA really makes no sense for the Golden Eagles, who along with UAB, are the only original members remaining in the league.... Southern Miss would prefer to be in the SEC and share in its riches....We can quibble about the exact makeup, but I’d take Southern Miss, UAB, Louisiana Tech, Rice, North Texas and Middle Tennessee State from CUSA. I’d take Arkansas State, South Alabama, Louisiana, Troy, Georgia Southern and Georgia State from the Sun Belt. Crank up the buses. Save the airfare. It makes sense and would save dollars, thousands and thousands of dollars.."
First off, what riches? (Academic? School revenue? Is it fan travel?) I can not find anything on google?
This is less attractive than CUSA. Yeah, USA loves those Mississippi TV markets in TV negotiations.
