The Boat is sinking, but there's still time to get on a life raft! 6 teams are gone, 2 others are trying to leave and 1 is just about gone. Let's say S. Miss is gone and Marshall and ODU are hanging by a thread. CUSA has to convince them to stay. Obviously remind them of the departing schools fees they will miss out on not to mention they'll have to pay a fee. Most importantly tell them that there is hope and their is a plan. I don't know if this will sale, but it's the only play.
Liberty is obviously the biggest fish- Already a decent Independent team and a team needed to secure the east. Twitter says they're not interested, well Twitter isn't always official and money and a good sale can still make this happen.
NMSU- Sucks, but we need them, enough said
Missouri St. - D-1 Basketball ready to go, Football is ok, but will need transition period to improve facilities.
Sam Houston St.- D-1 Basketball ready to go, but could use some upgrades. Football is at the top of FCS, so we're getting a damn good football team that will have more resources. Needs to upgrade football facilities.
Tarleton St. El Pasoans don't know this name, but people down in this part of Texas do. Very Passionate Fan Base in Football and is willing to spend the money to keep improving. D-1 Basketball, needs to improve facilities.
New CUSA with most Potential as I see it:
East: Marshall, Liberty, ODU, W. Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, FIU
West: UTEP, La Tech, NMSU, Sam Houston St. Tarleton St., Missouri St.
