I like it. Can't wait to hear the other teams.

It's regional and for purely economic reasons, I guess it's good, but ODU really does not move my needle and I wouldn't categorize it as "huge." I hope the other announcement is more exciting or I'd say this was a bit overhyped according to the thread title.

ODU is a no brainer, would have been surprised if they weren't one of the teams. Excitement factor, eh.. I get it, just doesn't move the excitement needle for me.

True story. I e-mailed ODU's beat writer Harry Minium this morning after seeing their VT series and asked if they were our 2015-16 C-USA team just out of curiosity. I think I set those wheels in motion. 8-)

I'm thrilled with the ODU matchup. It's in a recruiting hotbed, and a similarly-situated school to App State. If the other CUSA team is ECU then it's a home run. If it's UNCC, then I'll be disappointed--and I live in Charlotte.

I like this. Makes sense for all the reasons already named, also probably beneficial as both schools will be in basically the same state in the transition process.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only one of these series begins next year right? So doesn't that leave us with another game to fill for next season? I count 8 SB games, Michigan, Campbell, one of the new home and homes....that adds up to 11 games. Any idea of who will fill the opening?

ECU is no longer in CUSA after this year. I don't think it will be UNCc either. maybe Marshall or MTSU or WKU

Can't complain.... ODU is at least within a reasonable driving distance...

As the old saying goes - those who fail to recognize history are doomed to repeat it. The continuing saga of spending dollars for mis-matched, patch work additions has been going on since 1979. No two sides of that facility looks the same. The opportunity make 3 at least sides somewhat symmetrical exists and it would be sad to see it wasted.
Never said anything about "not recognizing" history - I said "fretting" about it --- I can't think of anything that hasn't been "recognized" on this board ---
"what transpired 6 years ago has no relevance - KBS is what it is, not what it should have been " imo that's a classic example of failing to recognize.

You are missing the point. Of course it will change nothing but perhaps - just perhaps "rehashing past mistakes" might set off a light bulb in someone's mind the next time facilities are considered. Its called planting the seed. Believe me those folks read this message board.

Kudos to Jay Sutton. A very good start. Hope it grows into a regular series.

The 2014-15 C-USA team isn't Charlotte as their schedule is filled. It's either ECU or MTSU.

The 12th game will be an FCSer just because there's no options.

It's MTSU then. No way ECU gives us a home game our first year full FBS.

Why would they? We seat 23K, they see themselves as far superior to us, they are moving up in there minds next year, they stomped the heels this year which further stokes their ego, they will probably whip another ACC team this year. So there's a few reasons why not. Now you convince me they might consider coming to Boone. I have been wrong many times in the past.

If it's MTSU, that means they will have 5 home games in 2015.

ECU, on the other hand, fits in perfectly.

If we were discussing a game in Charlotte as an FCS program, they'll come to Boone when we're an FBS team. Our administrations get along great.
