Proving that I'm not the only person thinking about this, the Blogalicious Lone Star State correspondent, Brian Hight, reports that:
* Troy State will be heading to the Sun Belt next year (in fact, the conference web site notes that they'll be a full member in 2005).
* Utah and New Mexico States have already been poached by the WAC (if I read the papers at all, I'd have noticed this happened a couple of weeks ago).
* Rumor has TCU ditching CUSA and joining up with Mountain West, thwarting a mini-Southwest Conference reunion.
Sticking with CUSA, it'll also likely be losing St. Louis and UNC-Charlotte to the Atlantic 10 (offer made for them to join the A10 today), and Army has already given notice that it's returning to independent status in football after 2004. Which makes things tough for CUSA, as it loses some of its basketball power and (if I can count) means only 11 football teams and thus no title game (not that it'd be a huge earner, I suppose, but it's the hot thing to have).
