Will Georgia Southern move to CUSA to take UAB's place in Football?

[Dave1967]

Do y'all think CUSA will invite Georgia Southern to take UAB's place playing football in the Conference? I think it would be a good idea because GSU would beat most if not all the football teams in CUSA.

It would improve the conference for sure.

Is Southern FBS?

I know that Charlotte is coming in next year with their new football team.

Yes. They also won the sun belt in their first year of fbs.

GSU is in their first season in FBS and they won the Sunbelt Conference

Southern is a well-established program and could do really well in a better conference.

With UAB out the conference is lopsided at 13 (IIRC).

How does GSU stack up in baseball, basketball? Both are pretty big in CUSA

Idiotic is too mild a word for that crap.

Not sure how public higher education is run in GA but I'd think that UGA and Tech don't want Southern to move up.

 

[YankeeVol]

It'd definitely improve the conference.

Not a matter of them moving up. They're already there.

I think, perhaps wrongly, that CUSA has more cache than the Sun Belt perhaps due to CUSA having schools in a lot of major metropolitan areas.

I take your point though.
