WOW! If true, wow. If our AD and President pass up an opportunity to join the Big East in order to join C-USA they would be making a monumental mistake.

Exactly. With the story on clone chronicles today about ISU maybe not pursuing the big east option, it just sounds ISU's administration is setting fans up for a move to C-USA. That should be the very last option, after all other avenues have been explored. ISU will lose so much prestige with a move down to C-USA.
That would kill ticket sales. A non party to join.
Let's put it this way - weigh suck. WAC would be equivalent.
That would be a laughing stock and kill recruiting for sure.
This whole thread screams failure.
Heck, one person says we are headed to C-USA because they might have heard it and all of a sudden every other option is out the window and we are on a one way train to C-USA or the MAC???
Seriously, if you really don't think JP and/or GG will explore every option, then let your ignorance get the best of you. Do you really think JP thinks C-USA is a better fit for us than the Big East??? hahaha funny.
Let things unfold and take it one step at a time, stop jumping to conclusions.

I would rather try to make it as an independent than join CUSA. See if you can play the Academies, ND, and maybe an old big 8 opponent or 2.
No offense to the members of CUSA, I just would not care after having played against BCS teams for as long as we have. I'm not even going to be the conceited fan that thinks we would go there and dominate because given the drop in budget and recruiting I don't know that we would. I just couldn't get up to play Tulsa or UTEP every year.

People think 16 team football conferences are the wave of the future but we can't imagine a 20 team basketball conference? Especially when the alternative might be C-USA or the MAC? Please.
See the two posts above for reasons why this shouldn't be such a big deal.
It's ok if the two are talking to CUSA as a fallback option, but no way in hell is this top priority
How can we be so shallow as to reject overtures from C-USA? At least it sounds like they want us, not a common sentiment these days. While it's fun playing the big boys on the BCS block, how often did we win? Never against TX, 4 or 5 times in like 80 years against OK, once every 15 years against neb, get my point? We're not exactly competitive against top drawer teams. But we do get a blurb on ESPN, about the way the 16th ranked Red Raiders pounded ISU. The tailgating will be just as good if we're playing ECU or OSU.
And if we join C-USA, we get to keep our TX recruiting ties!
C-USA wouldn't be my first choice, but it's nice to know there's a place to land before we hit the MAC.

Theyre a probably a lot of people who would agree with your sentiments but Im not going that far yet...
Division One double A would be preferable of dropping football in my humble opinion.
