Should be on the phone NOW with these schools...
We all want to win. We all want to have some schools fans can travel to. I want to have rivalries and interest. I want to be on ESPN 1-2 times a year even if it is Wednesday night. One home game year on a Wed.-Fri. is invaluable to our conference. We can do another on the road.
In this order...
1. Temple
2. UMASS
3. Louisiana Tech
4. FIU
5. MTSU
6. ULM
7. WKU
8. FAU
9. Arkansas State
10. Troy
11. Charlotte
The first seven in-order that say yes, you go from there and move on with an all new, all sports, 12 team conference.
Period.
Even better, move Charlotte to the top of the list and give them three years. Invite eight others and we play 2013 and 2014 with 13 schools. In 2014 Charlotte makes it an even 14.
Good basketball and decent football on the east coast with teams that we would allenjoy playing!
If you want, move Arkansas State up the list and swap ULL for LT. Either way...
