To answer the question about the foundation, would the Cardinal Club fit? It's primary mission is to help fund scholarships, but funds are also used for facility enhancements and recruiting efforts....

When will we know if we are going to the SUNBELT or WAC . I think the WAC is perfect to grow with!


Growing is not a word that is used to describe the WAC right now.


The WAC is definitely...

:) HUMOR:

Just wondering if BPA is getting closer to being part of the Houston DMA. I saw a "crawler" message this morning on one of the KHOU programs that they were installing a new, more...

Here's an ESPN1420 (Lafayette, LA) article outlining the same info JDCurran235 had in the previous post.
...

I second TBonesLU's comments.

I enjoy hearing from fans of other programs. One of the benefits of all the realignment / expansion activity over the last couple of years is that I've learned a lot...

I think travel for us is the big issue. The only reason I could see us going along would be as a way to get our foot in the door, but it would be an expensive foot unless there was some really...

Here's a link to an article in today's Bleacher Report, "Will June 1 Bring News of a New WAC Eastern Division?"

It is a lengthy article, but I found it an interesting read. It's a pretty good...

In 2010, the former AD, Billy Tubbs, was quoted as saying that "[Lamar's] ... ultimate ambition was to move up to FBS by 2015...". I don't know what the current feeling is, but I suspect that it has...

"In fact if we're more realistic and consider that we might lose a total of say 1000 students as a result of losing football then you can see that we actually worsen our plight."

I think we have...

Unfortunately jdcurran, there really isn't any evidence to support the idea that the costs of going FBS will outweigh or even come close to offsetting the real $costs of the move. I know it seems...

Interesting read here:

The last paragraph is kind of a kind of revealing statement about the WAC. I have been...

San Marcos is no closer to the Austin airport than LU or SHSU is to Houston. I dont buy the tidy trip argument. It is only an 1hr drive to hobby and maybe an 1:20 to IAH.They do want in the larger...

I wonder if we might be in a position of power versus the WAC soon. We might be able to say that you have to take McNeese, SHSU, and LU or we will not go. What could be left from what I am hearing...

Look at Lamar's three home game attendances then tell me if you think it's suspicious.

I've been wondering the same thing. Since it is based on paid attendance, just wondering if someone or a...

Realignment of the conferences is still in a fluid state. The Big East and Big 12-2-1 will need to add members. The SEC will probably go to at least 14 members. Big East and WAC need members to...

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...

The only scenario I can see that would make the indy route plausable would be a situation where there was already a committment from a conference that will admit the cards conference in a 2-3 year...

But the how would it work if we went independent and is it possible is what would be interesting to figure out. Is there a situation where it might make more sense to be FBS independent. If we had...

I am fairly sure that there is a moratorium on new independents in the FBS. AS of now, I am pretty sure you must join a conference to play in the FBS. This may change in a few years, but I do not...

Don't get me started on Beaumont. It's way under-rated. There are a lot of really good attributes.

My careers have taken me to Valdosta, GA; Sacramento, CA; Oklahoma City, OK; Lafayette, LA; and...

I'm still leaning towards the WAC also.

A few things really concern me about the way the process has progressed, though. I am especially concerned when I see on the other boards the attitude that...

I have to admit that I'm not as enthralled with the thought of WAC membership as I was several months ago. I see a conference that is struggling to stay afloat, but each school is individually...

I saw the post concerning staggering that CA referred to yesterday. I like the set up as suggested. I still think that the WAC should have concentrated on their greatest need, football. I agree...

I agree that UC Davis would be preferable to UVU. I think they and Cal Poly have potential. I think West Coast teams should be added. I can understand the desire of the existing members to add...

Hi Bearkat25,

I think the scenario you lined out is probably correct if everything remains as is; however, I don't think that is a certainty. The situation jdcurran235 laid out is one that I see...
