Missouri State to Conference USA

[caribbeanhen]

Been reported for a while that they wanted in the FBS, guess they decided that waiting for a Sun Belt invite wasn’t worth it any longer.

C-USA really is a mess of a conference, having teams from New Mexico to Florida to Delaware is quite the decision.

Heard The JackRabbits had an opportunity to be in a conference with Delaware but obviously that idea didn’t work out

Good move for MoSt, they'll be with a bunch of other "also ran" athletic programs: MTSU, NMSU, KSU, FIU, SHSU...


Gotta feel bad for UTEP that they're stuck with this group of Motley Poos.

1AA super conference

I wonder how much of an increase in student fees they are going to need to pay for that $5 mil move up fee.

I'm sure they will make that $5MM up pretty quickly with all the money they will get from their invite to the Myrtle Beach bowl every 7-12 years!!!

I’m sure UDs #1 cheerleader into this cesspool, Blowindope, must be estatic. Another new rival within 1,500 miles!

They need to see about joining the Mountain West.

Yeah the MWC doesn't want UTEP. They have passed on them multiple times going so far as to take San Jose St with really suspect academics over UTEP. Since 2003, the last 20 years UTEP is 88-169 (4.4 wins per year, 8.45 losses per year). Has 5 winning seasons and is 0-5 in bowl games. The only way UTEP or New Mexico State escape CUSA is if Washington State and Oregon State only take the best of the MWC and a few AAC conference schools to rebuild Zombie PAC whatever. If schools like Wyoming, New Mexico and San Jose State are left behind. Otherwise nothing is going to happen.

If I’m one of the Viveritos, I go to St. Charles and talk to Lindenwood. Their reclassification period will end before the 2025-26 season begins and they need a presence in the St. Louis area.

Seems similar to Delaware’s move. Doesn’t seem to make a ton of sense right now but guarantees them a seat in the second tier if/when the P4/G5 split happens.
