Maybe there is hope.

]]>Sure, but we got left with shit. They just moved to a higher class shit.
I don't think being in the 6th best conference is too bad. Being in the 9th best conference is definitely shit. How many people could even name 9 conferences?
]]>Revised:
- 1 FCS guarantee
- 2 whore games
- 1 two for one, where we get a smaller payout for the 3rd game
- 3 indy H/Hs
- 5 G5 H/Hs
Compare that to this years home schedule
Kty
Southern
UNT
UTEP
UAB
Charlotte
And has anyone actually paid a CUSA exit fee? I thought we let everyone off the hook for some reason (stupidity?).
]]>Alabama - away "whore game"
Memphis - home
Florida St - away "whore game"
Tulane - Home/rotate
ECU - Home/rotate
Troy - Home/rotate
MSU - Away/rotate
La Tech - Home/rotate
So. Ala. - Away/rotate
SMU - Away
Ga. Tech - Away
UCF - Away/rotate
Anywho......if scheduled correctly, we could have a home stand like this.......2 or 3 AAC games/2 or 3 cusa/SB games/ 1 lower level home and home with ACC or SEC.
Memphis/ECU/
Cinci/USF/UCF
Tulane/SMU/Tulsa
MSU/Ga. Tech/BYU/NC State/Duke
So Ala/Troy/Mid. Tn
W.KY/ Ga. St/ULL/L-Monroe
Beats the shit out of Charlotte, Old D, UNT, Rice, or any of that shit........
]]>I would play 3 whore games, then a 2-1 deal (where'd we get a payout for the 3rd game, albeit smaller than a normal payday game) with our home game in New Orleans. You'd 1 good "home" game every 3 years and State once every decade.
If you can get some AAC teams to play us, I'd be all for it, but only Tulane seems to be up for it right now.
- 3 whore games - Top shelf P5s
- 1 two for one deal - midtier P5s, State in Hattiesburg, then maybe Miami, Oklahoma State or Texas Tech in New Orleans every 3 years or so. You'd have 4 interesting "home" games a decade.
- 1 FCS guarantee game - Alcorn, JSU, Southern, etc
- 3 indy H/Hs - NM State, Liberty, UMass, Army....MAYBE BYU every now and then
- 4 G5 H/Hs - USA, UAB, LaTech, Tulane, Troy, UNT, Georgia State, Georgia State, MAC/MWC, etc.
Potential "whore" games (Away Only)
Alabama
LSU
FSU
Aub
ACC teams.....
P5 2 for 1 and/or some 1 for 1
MSU
Vandy
Kty
Wake Forest
NC State
UNC
Ga Tech
Opponents to schedule from......
Memphis
Tulane
ECU
UCF
So Fla
La Tech
Houston
TCU
Tulsa
SMU
So. Ala
Troy
ULL
Boise St.
BYU
It can work. But it means scheduling work. Our folks don't like to work.
]]>I thought there was some deal where charter members (USM and UAB) didn't have to pay an exit fee.
Don't know. You are required to provide 14 month exit notice. I cant imagine a charter member is exempt from the 14 month notification requirement due to scheduling commitments. So if USM told Judy goodbye today, we are not going to get any CUSA revenue for those 14 months. I highly doubt they would still cut us a check for those 14 months......unless the same person that negotiated EJ's contract negotiated our CUSA exit agreement.....if that's the case we are in great shape.
