IMO the rest of the leagues missed an opportunity to kill off CUSA all together... If the MWC would have taken La. Tech and UTEP then MTSU and WKU would have gone to the MAC. That would have left FIU to either go Indy or drop to FCS (where they probably should be).
Now you have this Frankenstein garbage league that is still operating under the guise of FBS football thanks to UTEP, LT, MTSU, WKU, FIU and Liberty while adding a bunch of nonsense like Sam Houston State, Jacksonville State and New Mexico State.
