Originally posted by texas observer View PostSomething is afoot I hope. I was looking at past histories of conference alignment for LSC schools like WT. Border Conference and Missouri Valley. ACU was Southland twice and an Independent for 7 years from late 50's till they joined Southland in the mid 60"s. Never knew that. Northern Colorado, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah (which has a recent history of playing Texas FCS schools) and others as FCS football conference with a western slant makes sense. NMSU would go FCS if legislature in Santa Fe dictates they play UNM every year despite affiliation. Basketball is a problem though. The ACU poster may know something because ACU has played Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado and has a series coming up with Southern Utah. The difference in time zones is a killer though. Number one complaint of TCU in the Mountain West.
I love the LSC and it's history but you do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. SLC schools have much more national name ID by the way. That doesn't mean you need to join them but SFA barley losing to Notre Dame in sweet 16, Nichols beating Big 12 schools, just to name a few. Come on man.
Tarleton beating SFA, not a national story even though they can compete right now in SLC. You don't want to go to Thibodaux La. if you can help it except to eat.

Big Sky Conference
Colonial Athletic Conference
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference
Missouri Valley Conference
Northeast Conference
Ohio Valley Conference
Patriot League
Pioneer League
Southern Conference
SWAC

The same could be said about most of the FCS conferences. Unless one has an affiliation to the schools, the average college football fan (much less the country) couldn't name 3 schools from the FCS conferences without looking them up. Seriously, without looking them up, who could name 3 schools from the following:
Big Sky Conference
Colonial Athletic Conference
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference
Missouri Valley Conference
Northeast Conference
Ohio Valley Conference
Patriot League
Pioneer League
Southern Conference
SWAC
Montana State, Montana, Idaho, Idaho State
James Madison, William & Mary, Delaware (?)
Nc A&T, Florida A&M, Bethune-Cookman
NDSU, Southern Illinois, Illinois State
Oh crap...ummm, Central Conn St,
Eastern Ky, Jax St, Austin Peay
Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette
E Tenn St, W Caro, Wofford
Drake, Butler, San Diego
Campbell, Gardner-Webb, Charleston Southern
PVA&M, Tx Southern, Alabama St
How'd I do? Northeast kicked my tail
