Okay
As I said about a month ago, I was in a lunch meeting with a group of people "associated" with an non-BCS Conference. I can now say they were CUSA people. As I said before, these people were not CUSA officials, but were associated with the conference (take that as you will).
As I said before, they were convinced superconferences were happening and that the superconferences would join together and leave the NCAA for football. That is why they were trying to get out in front. Their idea was to develop a four region alliance of schools that were going to be left out of the superconference system.
My school is in the third tier of non-BCS conferences. They were talking to us, because we are growing and have one of the largest fan bases below the second tier, which is CUSA, MAC, and MWC.
So, to answer the question about what does this do? They felt they could negotiate national TV contracts, they could keep travel costs low, they could develop a defacto playoff system, which is what they expect from the superconferences, and they could reduce administrative costs.
