I think the most likely scenario is Marshall and Southern Miss jumping to the Sun Belt.
Conference USA is on life support. They’re trying to court Liberty and James Madison.
Sun Belt also wants JMU. If CUSA misses out on Liberty and JMU, they’d need to look at FCS programs to stay alive or merge with another conference.
That potentially leaves Middle Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, Old Dominion, UTEP, FIU and Louisiana Tech looking for a conference.
WKU and MTSU make the most sense for the MAC geographically and have decent basketball programs.
I had tweeted about wanting the MAC to pursue Temple and Marshall. I still believe they should check in with both schools but don’t think either is a strong possibility at this moment from what I’m gathering online.
