C-USA Championship Game

Comments (2)

C*USA missed the ball on season-ending rivalries. FIU-FAU, MTSU-WKU, Old Dominion-Marshall, UTSA-Rice, North Texas-UTEP, with Lousiana Tech-Southern Miss and UAB-Charlotte rotating partners depending on crossovers that year. What a joke! None of these are one the last weekend.

I agree on that. Would be better for attendance on thanksgiving weekend, when students are out of town and other big games take attention, to have have schools playing closer rivals.
