I just have a bad feeling that this could have bad consequences on the rest of the programs as some day the big boys will elimate the smaller FCS conference schools from the NCAA basketball...

So, a 10 school football WAC would look like this:

Idaho State
New Mexico State
Lamar
Liberty
Jacksonville State
Sam Houston State / James Madison
Appalachian State
Georgia Southern

The WAC should have nabbed LU and SHSU while theyhad the chance. It would have somewhat increased the perceived stability and given them more teams to fall back on. I don't think anyone can argue...

This four or five page article mentions Lamar a few times. I found it a good read, even though it is heavily based on one person's speculation/opinion.
...

It must be pretty bad as TxSt-SM has talked to multiple conferences already.

When asked if TXST-SM is shopping around:


@WACJack - @robertwood They've talked to MWC, CUSA, and the Belt from...

The mega-merger is not a done deal. In fact, C-USA and MWC could well be losing teams to The Big East. This could have implications for Lamar in the long run.
...

Any of you have yet to address that you all said we had a shot against USA because we have more talent this year. We hung with them last year. Brought in more talent in the off season. Lost by more...

We beat a team we should have slaughtered by a whopping 10 points and we lost by a wide margin to a USA team that many of you all said we could beat. We have taken a step backward from last year...

I will be the first to gladly eat crow if he turns the program around. I hope he can and does. With the additional recruits we have this year, we are doing worse than last year if you compare games. ...

Some of you people would support Woodward if you caught him in bed with your wives. I choose to be a realist and expect more for Lamar. I have season tickets and didn't take my master's money to...

BigRed98,

Your mind changed that quick regarding what Lamar needs to be focused with? Note that your last two posts are on the same subject arguing two opposite points. One win against SELA made...

What does TCU's move to the Big 12 do for / against LU's hopes for going FBS?

After what I have seen in 3 games, we have way more to worry about than a FBS invite.

For starters, we are stuck with D-II caliber coaching. We need to migrate past even FCS coaching and get to...

I'm by no means "in the know", but I don't see how LU jumps from FCS to C-USA. They want us for a basketball/baseball school? I doubt that this would happen based on one year of basketball. Don't...

A while back, I read someone predict a total change in the NCAA landscape. Instead of a two tier system (FBS, FCS), they predicted a three tier system. The top tier would be a few (2 to 4)...

As I said before, I'd like us to go FBS for what it would do for the whole area. I've been thinking though. What would be so wrong with trying to become the big fish in a small pond? What if LU could...

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....

My understanding is that the presidents decided not to issue the invite to TAMU "at this time." The door is always open for a future invite, just as we were discussing on LU to WAC.

From a football standpoint, I look at the teams in the WAC and the teams in the Sun Belt and I honestly believe that the WAC still has more talent. That being said, I think the Sun Belt is far easier...

LU has openly announced it's interest in a jump up to FBC.

i know it will never happen but i love to see lamar in a regional fbs conference.
