I just don't understand logistically how this merger will work. I googled map the TAMUCC campus from Javelina Stadium. Thats 50 miles! You thought Amarillo and canyon peeps were b*tching about having to travel 10-15 miles to see WT play? WT had to eventually give in and build a stadium on campus to accommodate Canyon and the students. It would be extremely difficult if not borderline impossible to get TAMUCC students or Corpus as a whole to drive that distance to see games and get behind that product. Even using Buccaneer stadium wouldn't fly since its about 16 miles from the TAMUCC campus and 40 miles from Kingsville Campus.
If Corpus is the dominating and driving force in this and football is the main motivator then a new football stadium would have to be built on or close to campus. Unless Biden shuts down the naval air station on the other side of the island (sarcasm) then I dont see how any of this can work.
In the end all the sports would have to be on one campus and the other campus would be used exclusively for academics.

I would just rather the football program go away at this point that to take on another mascot name. The Javelina name will not go away, you can count on that (too many ex alumni will be opposed and I guarantee they would storm in the President's office like they did last year before Salinas was hired). The Javelinas really need to make a statement on the football field to get some life going and this has to be soon, in order to get any traction going in the right direction.
