We were planning on joining C-USA in 2001, when we went I-A, but one school blocked it, UAB. UAB was bitter that they were made to wait 2 years when they moved up before joining the league, so they made us wait. C-USA knew we we were planning on being in the league 2001 and 2002, so they promised to help us with scheduling, that is why we got some of those games. (I know you aren't talking about the same games, because the C-USA games are different ones, but we were forced to be an Independent for 2 years due to UAB) But it was the coach? at Southern Miss who said "we want quality not quantity" right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that made many of our fans think So Miss was the blocker that made us delayed, but it was really the UAB administration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember Memphis. UAB was angry because just prior they went I-A, and C-USA didn't think they were ready, so they the league made them wait 2 years for admission. When we went 1-A we were much better prepared (in terms of resources) to join the league, but UAB argued that we should have to wait like they had to wait. To John's point, Memphis might have agreed with them, I don't recall that, but I'm old and forget lots of things. But UAB lead the effort to get our admission delayed.
