The team that's most affected is Memphis. Calipari got left in the dust by the loss of Louisville, Cincinnati, Marquette and DePaul to the Big East. Some of Calipari's coaching buddies have been telling him he should move on but many feel he can have a situation in the reconfigured, much watered-down Conf. USA like the one he had in the A-10 at UMass - meaning he could dominate the league. Any way you look at it, the A-10 will move ahead of Conf. USA in the league power ratings. This will mean more television coverage for the A-10. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

Conference USA has essentially become two leagues: a reformed Southwest Conference (SMU, Rice, Houston, UTEP, Tulsa, and Tulane), and the southern independents (Memphis, UAB, Marshall, UCF, ECU, Southern Miss.) The changes also create an all-sports league which will help them down the road.** (NT) -- DFW HOYA, Mon April 04, 2005 22:18:58
- UTEP and Tulsa were in the original Southwest Conference? I don't think so. And this year's Conf. USA was essentially an all-sports league with Charlotte, DePaul and Marquette as non-football exceptions. The bottom line is Conf. USA will be a lower ranked basketball conference than it was.
