"Our deal is to be the conference that really represents the next generation of great programs," Banowsky said, via CBS Sports. "We target large markets, generally. We target growth markets. We find universities that have their best ahead of them in terms of potential, that have invested in facilities, that are gearing up and getting ready to go, and then we give them a stage and a platform to participate."
Conference USA lost Houston, Memphis, SMU and Central Florida — with the looming departures of East Carolina and Tulane forthcoming — to the Big East, but replaced them with FAU, FIU, Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee.
