July 10, 200322 yr Author no way minus, lol, but, in other news... Quote:Rumors roll on merger with Big East 07/10/03 TORAINE NORRIS News staff writer Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky said Wednesday he has not talked with Big East Commissioner Mike Tranghese about a possible merger between the two conferences. There has been speculation that the Big East and C-USA might morph into a new conference. A New York Times story published Wednesday said a person with first-hand knowledge of the potential C-USA realignment stated it is possible the Big East members that play football could merge with several C-USA members to form a new conference. The remaining Big East colleges that play basketball would then merge with C-USA's basketball only schools to form a new conference. Banowsky, who has been in constant contact with Tranghese about how to proceed with possible realignment, said none of their discussions have centered around a merger. "The focus of our communications has been on the process and how we can ensure that all issues are thoughtfully and carefully analyzed," Banowsky said. "We've not spent time speculating about potential outcomes." Banowsky's comments came on the heels of a Wednesday teleconference involving C-USA's Board of Directors. C-USA's presidents agreed during the teleconference to abide by the league's bylaws, which, under the circumstances, prohibit any member from withdrawing before June 30, 2005. The move means C-USA members like Louisville and Cincinnati, rumored as possible replacements for Miami and Virginia Tech in the Big East, won't leave before the 2005-06 academic year. "People are not anticipating any rapid changes until 2005-06," said UAB president Carol Z. Garrison who said she was pleased with what was accomplished in the teleconference. However, C-USA's future might not include its lone service academy member. Army Athletics Director Rick Greenspan told the Tampa Tribune Wednesday that "in a week or two," his university would decide whether to remain in C-USA past 2004. Army, which plays UAB at Legion Field on Nov. 1, joined C-USA in 1997 as a football-only member but could explore becoming independent. The Black Knights are 7-27 in C-USA games. "We won't make any excuses up here," Greenspan told the Tribune. "If we don't win games, it's something we have to square away." A move by Army would leave C-USA with 10 football playing members. Banowsky said he has spoken with Army officials for the past several months about the future of the Black Knights' football program. Banowsky also said expansion remains an option for C-USA as well. He recently told the Dallas Morning News that Southern Methodist Universitycould be an expansion option in the future. SMU was considered for possible C-USA membership in 1999 along with current C-USA member Texas Christian University. "My job is to fight to protect the interest of Conference USA and its member institutions," Banowsky said. "I will work to make C-USA as strong as I can, including potentially adding members." Banowsky expressed confidence in C-USA surviving realignment although he declined to speculate on whether the league will be all-sport or a hybrid. "I absolutely believe there will be a Conference USA in five years and I absolutely will not speculate as to its membership," he said.
July 10, 200322 yr Author this could be huge news for the bulls. they could enter a bcs conference without paying cusa the hefty exit money
July 10, 200322 yr minus i doubt it, the revenue and money in a conference championship game between um and fsu would be HUGE i believe the plan was to keep UM and FSU in the same division in order for them to renew the rivalry yearly. if they were'nt in the same division it wouldnt be guaranteed that they play every year. and the truth is i like it that way
July 10, 200322 yr Sat.? 09/13/2003? Indiana State? Bloomington, IN? 6:00 p.m.? That's pretty cool, FIU plays Indiana State the week before you guys play them.
