I dont see whats so bad about a 20 team bball conference. 4, 5 team divisions. You wont play everyone every year, but we've accepted that for football, i dont see why we can't accept that for basketball.
I dont think we want to be in a 20 team bball conference and the bball schools wont leave the BE, the negotiations seem to have hit a wall
I've heard that we are talking more to CUSA now than the BE...
At this point we can't be picky...but it is a downer to think about our MBB conference tourney being held in NYC! Won't be the same as some of the advantages we had in KC for sure...oh well!
I must admit, if ISU went to conference USA, it would be hard for me to maintain my 'rabid' fan status. I would still be a fan, but it wouldn't be such a big part of my life or provide me with so much enjoyment.

CUSA? Better than the MAC but certainly not better than the Big East or Mountain West. I went to a Tulane MBB game this year at Tulane and I don't think they drew 500 people for the conference game against SMU.
wow, I find that extremely hard to believe. The outfall of joining CUSA rather than the BE would be devastating.
Ok, just curious to know why you think being in the C-USA is better than the MAC. It isn't like we can move our school down there...we are still in Iowa. Both of these are bad options, but it really is a wash at that level.
If we end up in the CUSA when the Big East is openly campaigning (if the Big East wanted to, they could deny Jim Williams's story. They're not doing that) for us, Pollard and Geoffry should be fired.
That said, I really don't believe that they're putting that much effort into C-USA. Maybe just making sure there's and absolute worst case back up plan.
