UTA dropped football after the 1985 season, wonder what the real chances are they will restart the program? Any idea what their athletic budget is like?
I think you will see some form of travel partnering with the addition of ORU. I see ORU and UCA as a single road trip for A&MCC, I can see Nichols and SELA as a single road trip for ORU & UCA. If...
What is the breakdown between football and non-football members left in MWC and CUSA? Did the MWC add any non-football members, if not the total is 17 so might they just finish their merger,...
I believe the merged conference stabilizes the WAC and Sunbelt so they either don't have to invite anyone or can take their time and wait for who they really want which means Lamar would need to be...
No, I wouldn't expect anything to happen in regards to the WAC until after the football season and probably not until basketball is over. I would expect the WAC will look at how our teams perform...
Did you hear the door closing? The announcement that the Mountain West and C-USA are planning to merge football operations will bring the total number of FBS conferences down to 10 and will put the...
I agree the NCAA is somewhat weak about the 15k average, but I doubt that we will average better crowds against visiting WAC teams. It all boils down to consistently winning and building a tradition...
I would say what happens next is very likely up to the ACC, SEC and OU/Texas. If OU and Texas stay with the Big 12 and TCU decides to join the fold then I believe the Big 12 has a little time to get...
If the reported rumors hold true, the Big 12 may hold together for a few more years which would be good for LU chances to go to a BCS before the door closes. From what I have read it looks like...
I am notsure that both the WAC and SBC survive. Just as most of the vocal members on this board don't want Division II teams joining the SLC to fill it back out to a twelve school conference is it...
So with five former SLC members and La Tech the WAC is a stronger conference than the Sun Belt. It looks more like an FBS SLC with no reason for a TV network to prop it up with $$$ for a TV package....
IMO the #1 school the Big XII should be trying to add is Central Florida. It is one of the largest schools in the country and would provide recruiting possibilities in Florida. Beyond that they...
Assuming they can not get a school that they are really interested in for the west division this may be the WAC of 2013 or 2014, which would probably be good for Lamar in regards to travel costs. ...
