The new C-USA markets compared to the old actually grew by 43%. Going from 10.1 million homes to over 14.5 million. If our TV contract money goes down it won't be because we lost markets.

Marshall also picked #25 or right outside in a lot of polls..

Marshall fans would be excited to make a move to a better conference, not just leave CUSA behind.  AAC and ACC would make sense because the teams are close and some of them are good.  Marshall fans would only be happy if a move was made to AAC, SEC, ACC, Big Ten, or Big 12 (really not sure about that one actually).  Marshall could never compete in Big Ten, Big 12, or SEC so I'm not sure how we would feel if hell froze over and we were invited to one of those conferences.  AAC or ACC would be no brainers for us.  Until somethinging like that happens though, we do like the look of our conference and the ability to travel to games in Nashville, Charlotte, Virginia Beach area, Kentucky, Florida, and Alabama. 

A move back to the MAC would never be supported by Herd fans.  While we have close ties to teams like Ohio, Miami, and Toledo the perception by the fans would be that the move would be downward and a step backward.  I'm not saying that is realistic, but it would be the perception.  Some fans are pissed that we have so many MAC schools on our schedule this year.

Who really cares though?  This thread was started by an Ohio fan, because The Herd (an opponent of yours) was picked to win the conference division.  Immediately Ohio fans started trashing the division and then somehow it got turned into bickering about MAC vs CUSA.  Funny stuff.

Come on, even mentioning going to the ACC is a joke.
The reason Marshall likes the new conference is because it actually has a chance to win in it with most of the better athletic programs moving on to greener pastures. What's really left- a lot of potential, not much history of winning. Traveling to all those places will wreck everybody's budget except the richest fans. You forgot Texas trips to Houston and El Paso on occasion. Some okay places to go to vacation to, but how do you fit those trips into a working mans schedule. You sure can't fly there from Huntington very easily.
As far as you guys scheduling so many MAC schools, they're mostly a step up from who you'll be playing in conference so what's not to like.

Such a sensitive bunch.  I never said the chance was good that we would get an invite to the ACC or even the AAC for that matter.  I used a lot of "ifs".  Why so much hate for the fact that we like our conference?  Its pretty surprising considering the OH fans are quick to defend their allegiance to the MAC and any talk about the desire move to another conference is swiftly shot down.  Again, y'all are quite sensitive.  Hello pot, meet the kettle.

You don't your conference. That's the thing. You want out and you want out now.

as temples, stupd cow comes here to gain the reflected glory of the OHIO in order to try to gain some validation for itself.

Looks like funny math to me. Other threads on the front page have 2392. 2019, 2005, 1911, and so on. The way I learned math, 3x2392<>2191

Agreed. But it makes even more sense to stop talking about Ohio State. Sheesh.
