Early O5 jabs for 2017 football season

Sometimes, colleges need to heed the warning signs: #KevinOlsen began his career with Miami was suspended three times  and transferrred Towson (1AA) then to #charlotte (CUSA) and is now facing indictments on three counts of rape, and other charges.
#UAB returns to #Cusa play after two year hiatus
#AAC wants to make themselves known as part of the Power 6. Losing coaches to the O5 won't help. Ask Temple, Memphis, and Houston
#MWC football. Lotta love out there for Colorado St. Has any 1A school fallen faster than Fresno St?
June 10 notes: 11/18/17 Football at #FenwayPark #Uconn of the AAC  @ BC. Regional rivalry in its infancy.  Boston College  holds the all-time series lead 11-0-2.Game willbe televisedon CBSSN.
June 11 #AAC 2017 season notes:Interesting out of conference games-  #memphis visits #ucla, temple and #navy each visit #notredame, #smu visits #tcu, #ecu travels to #westvirginia and #virginiatech.. Can #newmexico win the MWC after losing nine startewrs on D?
June 14: #wku  lost Coach Brohn to #Purdue. The Hilltoppers toughest OOC matchup is probably Illinois. Coach Sanford has a strong  offensive mind and a #wku background. The transition shouldn't be too painful. Also look for big strides from #utsa.
June 16: #Sunbelt week 1 OOC play #appst visits #georgia , #arkst goes to #nebraska, #georgiasouthern goes to #auburn. I don't see an upset brewing, but maybe #troy gives #boisest a tough game.
June 17: Here's a week 1 matchup #wyoming (MWC) led by QB #joshallen  visit #iowa (big ten) and its big time rushing attack. Iowa won both games played between the teams . Iowa won 21-7 in Iowa City in 1953, and eked out a 20-19 Holiday Bowl  in 1987.

#MAC teams face some powerhouses in week 1: #WesternMichigan at USC ,  #Akron at Penn State, Kent State at Clemson. Then in a  a more competitve OOC matchup #miamiohio visits the Marshall #herd

#CUSA : Can ex-Fresno State Bulldog QB,  Zack#Greenlee displace #RyanMetz’sas #utep starting QB ?
june 24
 Kansas State receiver # CoreySutton, a native of Charlotte, NC,  plans to transfer to #AppState, but still has to sit out the 2017 season.
june 27
#tulsa, was 10-3 in 2016 and won its bowl game but  opens at #okst in aninteresting intrastate matchup. On paper it looks like a high scoring Tulsa loss. Oklahoma State leads in the series, 40–27–5

#wmu still has a solid rushing attack,Jarvion Franklin and LaVante Bellamy , but #toledo led by QB #woodside may take the MACW. #niu will return to the pack.

  MAC flash : #davidmcmichael, #kent st special teams coach suddenly  retired on June 30

#CUSA news: #MTSU has an excellent QB #stocksill, but can hiring former Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer as DC improve their D.
july 9
 Can #LukeFickell, new Cincy HC and former Buckeyes' DC,  go .500 in the #AAC this season?
july 10
and this year #Hawaii  #MWC has to travel #Umass. That's some serious travel.
july 12
Big question for #ecu is defense. Will they find any?
July 15
Working toward my other 5 predictions, I don't see any O5 team crashiing the power 5 party on New Years Day.  No #western michigan meeting Wisky 1/1/16, or #houston beating #fsu on 1/1/17

Checking in with the Aztecs! Is #RashaadPenny the man who can replace #pumphrey (Philadelphia Eagles) in #sandiegost backfield. He's been a top notch kick returner for three seasons.
july 20
#newmexicost (going Independent) and #idaho (downgrading) were voted out of the Sunbelt  and will they  pay their Sunbelt opponents back on the field  this season. Maybe the possibility of joining the MWC will get NMST  in gear? Also see rumors that the MWCis looking at #UTEP of the #CUSA.
july 25
#mwc getting a lot of scheduling  interest. #vanderbit adds #unlv to a home  & home  list that includes #coloradost, #nevada, and #hawaii in the next eight years. This season Vandy plays two #cusa teams, #mtsu and #wku.     
#sdst Aztecs' current contract with Qualcomm Stadium - ends in 2019. and they may have to move to Petco Park, Negotiations are on-going
