Movin' on Up rumors again? Yeah, that would be great, wouldn't it? We'll be back to 2-9 playing marginal teams in D1. Wow. It will be just like the Mayfield years.
Will attendance grow because we are once again playing ACU, Tarleton, Lamar, and SFA? I don't' think so. Ticket prices will go up though.

Since this is a D2 football forum, it's not unrealistic to approach this subject from that point of view. WT was a dominant football team in the Carthel years, but not since. Sure we had an 8-3 record last year but still lost to Tarleton, Angelo, and Commerce. A 4th place finish in the LSC is not exactly dominant, however, we should be able to continue to beat OPSU and NA handily. Perhaps some year we will even be able to reliably make a 40 yard field goal.
Dr. Wendler's vision for the future is distance learning. I don't think it matters who we play in football for that. However if and only if it comes down to getting a lot more money for being D1, go for it. Just don't expect to be playing Tech - or winning for a long time.

The Texas constitution stipulates that The University of Texas system gets two-thirds of the benefits of the PUF and the Texas A&M system gets one-third. Any changes require a 2/3rd House vote.
So, pardon my ignorance.....exactly how does TAMUC & WT making an athletic division move change the the Texas constitition?

That 2/3rd vote WILL NOT happen. I don't care who moves up, down, or sideways. That has ZERO impact on such a constitutional change. No matter what people's opinions may be. You can talk until you are blue in the face.....even if what you are saying makes perfect sense. The FACT is that a 2/3rd vote WILL NOT happen to change that piece of the Texas Constitution.
