The word from Matt Brown per a CSNbbs thread is that reliable sources say that NDSU was specifically solicited by CUSA and that we told them we don’t want any part of that. If true, unforgivable.
IF true I'm don't see any reason to not make it public or make sure it gets leaked. Making it known you won't settle for any crap FBS conference is a positive imo.Quote:

Below is the language from the thread. I know that Larson said that no conference has expressed an interest in us. So who knows if the CSNbbs remarks are to be believed. But I thought it was interesting.Quote:

The folks I've been talking to over the last few months believe that EKU would take an CUSA invite right now if offered, and that they are one of the handful of FCS programs that very much wants to go FBS as soon as possible. I don't know enough about the specifics of conversations those parties had in 2021 to say concretely who declined who....but I wouldn't shocked if by say, December of 2022, EKU was preparing to join Conference USA.
100% CUSA called, 100% ML said no. That move would take ambition and risk....two things very much lacking with our leadership.
Pretty much has been reported that all our admin wants is an MWC offer to magically fall into their laps.
true. they don't want to put in the effort, the schmoozing, the phone calls, the plane trips, the golf outing, the slaps on the backs. like wtf.Quote:

Yeah bro it just wouldn’t measure up to playing incarnate word, abracadabra university or northern south west Mississippi state in frisco next year.Quote:
