I don't even know who is in CUSA anymore...
Edit, I just looked it up. LOL that conference sucks.
Yep, I'm sure Missouri State fans are looking forward to some intense rivalries with Kennesaw State and Delaware.
Always have been too big for their britches! They'll enjoy rivalries with schools they never heard of! Is Barbecue the AD or something?

Ugh Delaware. We should've won that game...
Its hard to believe Joe Flacco is still an active NFL QB
I was at that game. Delaware was the much better offense with Flacco clearly being the best player on the field. It was close but SIU absolutely should not have won that game.

I mean we had the ball down 3 twice to end the game and turned it over both times. I'd say it's a game we very well could've won
ORLYThe interesting part of this is the MSU supposedly has no money either.

I’m terrified we will jump ship for the sunbelt conference
@dunkledog Ew why would we ever do that? Has there been discussions on it or something?
@foxman24 I think if they add another small non football playing private school , the state schools will try and jump. We don’t have MAC money so sunbelt seems more our speed
SIU should have either went 1A or dropped football before the new stadium was built.
Spending that much on a 1AA program never did make any sense.
And now it is 100 time as expensive to move up just for the entrance fee.

The MAC fits geographically, but that conference is terrible in football. The Sun Belt has better football AND basketball (still below the MVC in basketball), but would be much better for both programs IF SIU was going to leave.
If we want to live in a fairytale world, (put aside the geographic nightmare and funding issue) the Mountain West would be a home run. We could probably compete in Football quickly b/c most of those teams suck AND their basketball is terrific…but back to reality that ins’t going to happen.

That small private school shit has got to stop. SIU, ISUs, UIC should just say no unless there's a really good candidate. We now have Valpo, who is pretty much worthless in everything. The publics should threaten to form their own conference if the Prezs of these small schools try to pull that again. The best school should be the only criterion, not whether they're private/public.
I thought SIU should have considered the MAC years ago. I think the MVC is fine though and a better conference in many ways and not sure why we need to replace crappy Mo. State.
