Gary Johnson ‏@SunBeltInsider Official: Sun Belt Conference will not add a new program to its membership anytime soon. Also there will be no divisional play in basketball
Gary Johnson...

Gary Johnson ‏@SunBeltInsider Sun Belt Conference schools only received $40,000 a year in conference revenue compared to others. Then you wonder why schools leave.

Gary Johnson ‏@SunBeltInsider...

I'm still sticking with my prediction that LU and SHSU move to the Sun Belt at the same time in a few years.

Brent Thibodeaux ‏@BrentThibodeaux I'll be talking #SunBelt Conference realignment today with @GametimeMickey at 3:15 CST. Click the link to listen live http://www.953theticket.com

No names has been mention for expansion options. But Benson said there are several options out there.

Commissioner Benson also...

I think by not ready they mean that Lamar's athletic budget is low and the football stadium is too small. I don't know where the funds would come from to enlarge the stadium, aren't they still trying...

Brent of bobcat report is saying the sunbelt says we are a few years from ready. I dont know if i buy this.


I think he's been pretty accurate so far. We haven't heard a peep from anyone at Lamar...

I wonder how much longer till we hear something from the sunbelt?


I think near the end of May the Sun Belt is having another meeting. The TSUS board of regents will meet around the same time so...

Gary Johnson ‏@SunBeltInsider 1h Illinois State turns down Sun Belt Conference


Gary Johnson ‏@SunBeltInsider 21m
Missouri St, Jacksonville St, Sam Houston St, Lamar, Liberty and JMU all left...

Here's what I've found in the land of Twitter:

Rob Lee ‏@eelbor 21 Apr @Sunbeltinsider:Lamar, Mo State, Sam Houston State, Liberty, Illinois State and JMU are all on the SUN BELT radar and has...

Is Lamar even interested in moving these days? Do they have the money to move up? When Simmons and Tubbs were at Lamar they were talking about it. Lamar just hired a new president and Jason Henderson...

One website has JMU, Liberty and Lamar as the top 3 candidates for the final spot in the Sun Belt. They have a comparison of the three schools.
...

The latest rumors are that JMU has no interest in the Sun Belt and Liberty is not at the top of the list either. Jacksonville State in Alabama may be on their radar now.

Jack ‏@WACJack 15m Sun Belt peeps: if your choice in shit sandwiches is Liberty or TXST system school/former member Lamar, you roll with the Tri-Lambs. Right?

A few recent tweets regarding Lamar and the Sun Belt:

cfoutpost ‏@cfoutpost @WACJack If JMU really doesn't want the spot, is Lamar really going to give up and give Liberty a chance to join the Sun...

Looks like JMU (in Virginia) will replace WKU, which means they are replacing one eastern team with another one that's even further east. Now the Sun Belt stretches from Idaho to Virgina with a few...

I just feel like we will continue to get passed up. I am not very optimistic of our chance of going to the sunbelt. There seems to be some sort of stigma attached to LU that makes us a bad upgrade...

I think eventually LU and SHSU will join the Sun Belt after ULL and Ark. State leave.

The Sun Belt is taking Idaho and NMSU as football-only members, and that would balance the 2 non-football members (UTA and UALR). I think a big reason they took them is because they are already FBS...

I'm hearing that Appalachian State and Georgia Southern will be invited this week.

1985/86 Don't mean this as an excuse for LU's less than adequate performance of the last 28 years but isn't that about the time that ESPN started the TV $$$$ flow that has since triggered much of the...

And Deleware to the Sun Belt?

Jack ‏@WACJack

Sun Belt with Delaware and JMU/App/GaSO could be fun. Lots of them's (Texans, Yankees, Cajuns, down staters and 2 doses of hill people)

Latest rumor has App State, Georgia So. and James Madison getting invited. The first two I understand, but James Madison? They are up in Virginia. I've read that West Virginia is complaining about...

Maybe this will motivate the movers and shakers at Lamar to try to get into the Sun Belt.

Beaumont Enterprise ‏@BmtEnterprise Big football moves could cost Lamar http://dlvr.it/2zrHDD #SETXNews

Not much new in this article. It discusses a little about the 15 schools contacted by Karl Benson about joining the Sun Belt, including Lamar and SHSU.
