Tarleton to WAC

[wisdomgymrat]

Just seems odd to me. Then again so did Tarleton to the WAC but here we are.

Conference doesn't need them... Tarleton secures a market player in the Metroplex.... Abilene is, well, Abilene.

Just going off of a conversation and what I remember. ACU might have been mentioned as well.

As as far as the comment about NMSU... they want to drop down.

Why would Sam Houston and SFA join? Why not look at ACU and another D2 call up?

I hope WT really thought this through. WT is geographically isolated and if more schools from the LSC leave then that leaves WT and the few schools left in a bad position as far as football is concerned. I think WT and ENMU could join the RMAC but the scheduling alliance with the GNAC for the LSC is almost a necessity now.

WT ENMU and WesternNM, probably along with UTPB

[Vulpes88]

I'm going the opposite way since WT said no. Our closest school would be UTRGV.

[Vulpes88]

I told you so...


Southland is going away.... WT will receive an invite so will Sam Houston, SFA, UTRGV, Northern Colorado, New Mexico State.

It says confirmed by the LSC. But I haven't seen anything from the school, the LSC, or the WAC yet.

NMST is not at all interested in dropping to d1aa football, despite the fact that they should, as should UNM.....

WT declined any interest.

For now.... When the BOR and Sharpe want to expand the A&M system footprint, they may get pressure.

[Vulpes88]

They are already part of the WAC. Do you mean they are going to start football?

They've looked into it.

[wisdomgymrat]

That's the rumor.
