Will all of the 2014 C-USA tournament be here?

Something to consider: If nothing else changes, there will be 14 teams in C-USA. That would leave two obvious solutions for a new format.

First, the 13th- and 14th-placed teams could be eliminated to leave the tournament as a four-round, 12-team affair.

The other, and probably more likely, thing to do would be to have preliminary 11 vs. 14 and 12 vs. 13 gams to cull the field to 12. That would make the tournament five days instead of four, unless C-USA has those games played on campus sites (in other words, the 11th and 12th seeds host the lower seeds two days before everyone convenes in El Paso).

Will Charlotte and ODU be members in 2014? Or is it football only that they are waiting until 2015?

Thanks for sharing the news about such a wonderful organization.Keep up the great work! Love your blog!

UTEP Hulk, both Charlotte & ODU will be members after this upcoming season ends. Their first conference tournament will be here in El Paso. They will be full-time members in 2015 when football moves up from the FCS. That means all 6 new schools joining the conference will be able to play in the conference tournament. All that depends now is whether the format is 12 or 14 teams like Joe alluded to.

[how can i get back with my ex]

There are many ways to get back your ex. But the proven and which works are very few. When I was going through the same dilemma I just followed the tricks from a Free eCourse and as it promised, I got my girlfriend. No problem it works for both female and male. It just worked for me. You too can try. Hope that helps!

Maybe the last 4 teams should have play ins, to face the top two teams.

[PaydirtZo]

Or you could give the top 2 teams a first round bye and have the remaining 12 teams narrow the field down to 8 in the opening round, like so:

Opening Round (1 & 2 have byes)
3 vs 14
4 vs 13
5 vs 12
6 vs 11
7 vs 10
8 vs 9

Second round
1 vs 8/9 winner
4/13 winner vs 5/12 winner

3/14 vs 6/11 winner
2 vs 7/10 winner

... and so forth
