Yes, there is. Cal & Stanford consider themselves to be above all those schools and they would refuse to be in a conference with half of them. They especially have a problem with San Jose State, which sits in their market.

You wouldn't need to use the Distributive Property here because this is not an algebraic equation with variables inside the parenthesis where simple addition or subtraction would not work. This is just simple math using PEMDAS.

Eric, the death of Judith Barsi, who played the voice of "Ducky" in "The Land Before Time" tops this list. It shocks people when they find out the girl, who played Ducky, was murdered by her father 4 months before "The Land Before Time" premiered in theaters in November 1988.
Reminded that even though Liberty probably will lose by margins equal to or greater than 7 other Oregon opponents this year, it doesn't change the fact that CUSA's Liberty still made it further than JMU, App State, SMU, Troy State, and Tulane.
So Tulane just lost the AAC title to SMU paving the way for

SMU already does that and has fans self-entitled enough to believe two wins over overrated Tulane should decide an entire season.

Only confirms what we knew and saw. In the second half game officials Dee Kantner & Talisa Green took it upon themselves to put Middle Tennessee away for LSU. Angel Reese's attitude despite the fact she needed extra points at the foul line to help her stats look better is sad.

I hate takes like this after just one year of existence as a new conference. Trash teams don't beat Auburn by 21 points. CUSA had as many teams with 10 or more wins this year in the regular season as the SBC, MAC, AAC, ACC, Big 12, & Pac-12....

I can agree with that, but it also doesn't change who they are, and they have enough voice to either keep some of those schools out or walk themselves. Either way, you wouldn't see those two in a full merger with a MWC.

I donโt consider Liberty a G5 school. No other G5 is able to print money at will without having to answer to a governing body. Liberty is an MLM pretending to be a school. They get to play by their own rules and the only reason theyโre eligible is bc CUSA was dying and desperate

If neither SMU nor Tulane could beat perennially woeful Rice like a drum, it's doubtful SMU & Tulane could do likewise to New Mexico State or Liberty. Memphis' only win against a team above .500 in a 9-3 season was against a Boise State team with 5 losses. I'm not impressed.
