In an interview the other day on one of the local TV stations, AD Henderson was talking about the arrival of ORU to the conference. He said the SLC is a great fit for Lamar but doesn't think...
Here's a more detailed map on the TV stations in the BPA market:...
The Beaumont Enterprise had a big article one Sunday after the 2010 football season had just ended and Dr. Simmons basically said that they would like to be bowl eligible in 2015 but any conference...

We are getting a lot of chatter because of this article. It sounds bogus to me though. I think it...
I doubt Lamar would join up if the closest conference member is over 600 miles away. They'd have to fly every team to every away game.
I don't think Lamar would go to the WAC if the New Mexico State and Jax State were the closest schools. I think the travel costs would be too much. Now if SHSU or LU both joined then that might be a...
nope
Lamar getting invited to the Sun Belt is not out of the question.

If the WAC falls apart does UTA come back to the SLC. Or do they go somewhere else.
I don't know...

It appears that the Alliance has already made their decisions for expansion. Any speculations from the cardinal crowd. I...
From WacBoard "Texas State has informed local media about an upcoming Sunbelt press conference. This was reported at 2:29 today. Still waiting on more information about this though."
Hense why I...
I've started a new Sun Belt Expansion thread. I think it's time to put this thread to rest since so much has changed since this discussion first started.
Link:...
Both Lamar and Sam Houston State are looking to go FBS in the future. If that's next year or 10 years from now no one knows, but it has been discussed by the administrations of both schools. This...
We are a long way from movin up anywhere boys so don't kid yourself
Dr. Simmons was talking to the WAC last year so it's not that far-fetched.
Latest from Jack at bobcatreport.com:
Texas State, UTSA, North Texas, Arkansas State, 'Louisiana', 'Monroe', and New Mexico State. Malzahn and McCarney, Fran and Coker. Not bad.
That would...
Here's some tweets from Jack at bobcatreport about the WAC and the Sun Belt:
I can live with games in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas. And New Mexico, maybe.
I always advocated the WAC over...
I wonder what sort of stuff Jack has been hearing about WAC expansion. Probably nothing until they pick a new commissioner.
Jack at bobcatreport.com posted an article last week but their forum is no...

That's similar to what others have proposed, but that article is 2 months old and with everything that's happening now, I doubt we'll see...
I read somewhere that UTA may announce this spring that they are bringing back football. Their current budget is pretty low at around $8 million, but they have a large student body so they could...
What's the latest on the WAC expansion ?? Wondering if Lamar is considering moving up...
No clue. We'll probably know a lot more after CUSA/MWC figure out what they'll do.
Could someone explain to me how travel partners work? As I understood it before, teams travel on their own to the opponent's site. Is that not correct? Do they share planes?
It's the opposite of...
There was a post on the Scout WAC board that stated that the eastern WAC schools only voted for Boise State because they were promised another eastern team for balance.
If true, Lamar may be on...
The WAC commissioner is holding a press conference today, probably to talk about Boise State joining for all sports except football. I'm hoping the Sun Belt has a spot for Lamar in a couple of years...
Looks like the Big East is about to make their move and take teams from the CUSA and the Mountain West. CUSA will be down to 9, the MW down to 8. We'll see who gets poached from the Sun Belt and...
Funny you should say that, because I have talked to President Simmons and also VP of Finance Gregg Lassen. Both agree that it was the right decision to bring back football, and neither one could...
I'd actually love to see it. But, many people are making it sound like Lamar being an FBS program is a no-brainer from both sides.
If Lamar gets the call, I want them to answer it and go running....
