Tarleton to WAC

[JakeTAMUC]

As I pointed out in another thread, I think, If the GNAC is added in Football to the LSC, it would be pretty expensive for those GNAC schools. It would mean 3 or 4 trips to Texas/New Mexico every year, in addition to he large trips they take (Vancouver to California). Trips like that add up very quickly.

Might it be possible to mitigate that somewhat by holding a festival type event at the Star in Frisco like they did at JerryWorld a few years back? Bring 3 or 4 gnac teams down and play 2 on Friday and 2 on Saturday. Could do the same in Washington at the Eastern Washington or Washington State, maybe even SafeCo in Seattle. Hell I'd make that trip.

Imagine you are a freshman this year knowing those schools will blow you out and you still can't compete for championships.

Well... poo.

I see what you did there.

[Vulpes88]

Because the MWC let them.

Why wouldn't the LSC do the same? As for your other post, good luck recruiting.

Not really. We could back out. In 2010 Boise State told the Mountain West they were gone and they stayed. Won't matter, the referendum will pass.

Serious question: If Tarleton has already submitted notice to the LSC Commissioner that they intend to depart the league, and if Tarleton's move to Division 1 hinges upon its student referendum to increase its Athletic Fee, and if that referendum is voted down resulting in no additional funds to cover the cost of going to the WAC... does that mean Tarleton might become "homeless"?

Aren't they in the AG building a good 300 yards from the baseball field?

What's wrong with Cecil Ballow?

There is a belief that the MIAA is going to open the schedule back up.

I am sure the coaches would love a chance to add In Region OOC games.

With the looming fears of an SLC implosion (at least that's what's being said over and over on this board), I'm surprised we haven't heard rumors of a Texas-only FCS conference. It would make sense. ACU, HBU, Lamar, SHSU, SFA, TSU, and UIW with Football. Add in UT-Arlington, UTRGV (since there's been rumor about them wanting to add football), and A&M-CC for other sports. Then Angelo, Commerce, and WT can join in later. Once the A&M regents decide to merge Kingsville with CC, the Island Hogs will be another football playing school.

Not a bad idea. Just drop UTA.
