Another edition of the ASOR Mailbag! Thank you for submitting your questions and continue to send them in and we will be happy to answer them in our next feature. You can send them to us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, e-mail, or as a comment on the site. We had a ton of great questions this week, so let’s get right to it.

I expect there to be a capacity crowd on Nov. 19 when Virginia Tech plays at Williams Stadium. Those tickets will be hard to come by, and they are already some on StubHub going for over $100. The BYU crowd will likely also push towards 25,000 and could be another capacity crowd. If you’re asking about Williams Stadium selling out of all season tickets and individual game tickets before the start of the 2022 season, no I don’t see that happening.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. You could say that Liberty was much further ahead of both BYU and NMSU in scheduling future games as an Independent.

I don’t think so. Liberty Arena is one of the nicer facilities, regardless of size, at the mid-major level. Provided that it is at or near capacity for the majority of men’s basketball games and the crowd is engaged, it will be one of the best home court advantages in the conference – whether we are talking about the ASUN or Conference USA. It’s a better recruiting tool than the 8,000+ seat Vines Center. There will definitely be a step up in level of talent and competition moving to CUSA on the basketball side of things. The ASUN ranked as the 21st ranked Division I conference this past season whereas CUSA was No. 13.

I may be in the minority, but my personal preference would be to only add either UMass and/or UConn only if they decide to move all sports. Having those two teams join for men’s hoops could push the CUSA from a top 12-14 men’s basketball conference to a top 10. It is unlikely that either of them would want to move all sports to CUSA from their current homes, but from a football only perspective they don’t add much value and would increase travel costs. Adding FCS move ups like a Tarleton State, Kennesaw State, Eastern Kentucky, or some one else isn’t in the conference’s best interest as of today, in my opinion. If that was the best option on the table right now, I would prefer the conference stay where it is and not add any additional schools, and let this new conference stabilize. Once it does, it could be in a better bargaining position in a few years than it is today and could add more attractive schools at that time. There’s no need for the conference to add anybody right now unless it is a perfect fit.
