Originally posted by WT_ALUM08 View PostThe WT angle makes sense as well as I know they were originally against the LSC/Heartland Merger and as reported by local beat writers threatened to explore other conference options.
I am not saying wisdomgymrat is wrong as to WT in his rumor mix, BUT as of today the primary individuals have indicated to me that (1) they like D2 for the competition, (2) not in favor of any D1 moves and (3) the D2 environment has seen better academic success than did the D1 years. If it happens so much the better (maybe), but only if it really enhances WT academically.

WT was always in favor of the LSC/Heartland merger, but dead set against the Heartland/LSC merger that the ASU president kept pushing. Had that latter plan I feel WT would have been moving.

Originally posted by WT_ALUM08 View PostIt makes sense why A&M has been focusing so much money on Tarleton and WT now. Just look at all of the construction on those two Universities over the past 5 years compared to the other system schools.
FCS move is good for Football, but bad for all other sports. If you care about the other sports competing for a national championship.
Sounds like Sharp more recognition for its little brothers on the national stage.

Meh, WT is consistently in the running for Nattys in several sports. They are currently in a downturn for football, but both basketball teams are consistently national powers and several other sports are up there as well. I'm sure a WT poster can expand on this.The Great White Buffalo has Returned

However if the NCAA ever got smart and did this, they should allow schools the option to play up if they wish sort of like what DBU does with baseball. If they want to go get a check for playing in March Madness, then so be it.

There really needs to be a Division for all other sports set up just like football for schools who want to offer more scholarships for those sports and play in a conference with more regionally or even nationally recognized named schools vs having to basically cede all chances of ever winning a championship in those sports. Rare exceptions are there, but an ice cube has better chance of lasting one second in hell vs most schools who play FCS football winning a team championship in the other sports.

Furthermore, block P5 schools from playing them.
