Not so much their actual football team but their campus and facilities as a whole.

That is downright silly to call UTPB an upper tier LSC school. They beat three cream puffs and then get their butts whooped last weekend. What I saw last weekend was the same old bunch of fat linemen and mediocre skill players they have been putting on the field for years. If they played WT 50 times, WT would win 49.
LOOK AT OL:

You just have a hard on for Odessa-Permian. I get it!
Like it or not, UTPB is a much improved football program and will only get MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better, and be a force in the LSC. It's surprising to see a program in their 6th year compete with programs that possess many more resources and have been around for EVER. Not to mention beating a program that has been around for 111 years!!!!
Not many new programs progress this fast in such a short period of time. Amazing programs like West Florida and CSUP were very successful very quickly.

I do not give a rats azz about Odessa Permian.
The UTPB team I saw last week is no better than what I have seen he last few years.
I do want UTPB to get better and be more competitive. With Tarleton and ACU gone, ASU needs a good day trip rivalry game.

I don't really know. The new(ish) president is very budget consious. I doubt UCO would move up but I don't really know. If I had to bet my next check on where UCO would be in five or ten years I would say MIAA. (This is assuming college sports as we know it is around in any form.) If any non D-I team from Oklahoma move up it would be Oklahoma City University, they are NAIA now, but were the standard bearer for the state in basketball for years and made several NCAA Tournaments.
The state legislature or governor really couldn't care less about where any college has their sports. They are more concerned about the OSSAA than anything. OU and OSU aren't tied at the hip. Why would any of the state schools be?

Is their facility the best in the LSC? Nope. Upper 3 or 4 with Commerce leaving? Yes. Hell their facilities are better than multiple Southland conference schools. I was going to post links but looks like ASUPops and LSCFan beat me to it.
At some point I think they will need an on campus stadium like WT did if they have dreams of ever moving up.
If they finish top 4 in the LSC standings I would consider that upper tier. Beating WT even though they aren't 2013 caliber but not 2017 dreadful either counts for a lot.

Not going to get into a pissing contest over semantics of the definition of "upper tier" over competition vs. facilities. I have been to their campus a few times recently as I have attended graduations and sporting events involving friends of mine college kids. Have had the tour and was impressed with their sports facilities.
