DALLAS — In a backward kind of way, Conference USA's annual media days had an unusual look Monday.
For the first time since 2012, its membership was unchanged. The West Division schools in the interview room were exactly the same as last year, as will be the case with the East Division members Tuesday.
"That is good," said one new face, first-year commissioner Judy MacLeod, but most of the questions she fielded were familiar and for the conference a big disquieting.
C-USA's football season kickoff event came six days after the Big 12 voted to pursue expansion, something that would inevitably trickle down to C-USA.
