With dwindling TV revenues, C-USA teams look to be losing a little bit of financial steam. Would the addition of JMU and Georgia State into the fold change that problem?
Conference USA finds itself in a turbulent offseason entering the new year. After having the Charlotte 49ers play their first season of FBS football and UAB reinstate their team for a return in 2017, the conference sits at 13 football-playing members.
Besides team reshuffling, the conference will lose about $500,000 in TV revenues per team due to the restructuring of their deal with CBS Sports and Fox Sports Network and the loss of ESPN as their championship game network.
