I know that the LSC swallowing up the Heartland Conference is basically beginning now. What are the total ramifications of this move? Will it help football or damage it? Will any of the former Heartland teams (at least in Texas) add football? Has it completely reshaped scheduling for basketball and the Olympic Sports? Basically I'm just curious what you all think.

1. Divisions in Basketball, going to be a rough conference to get out of. A few deserving schools will miss the tournament.
2. I have a strange feeling it'll hurt. Can't stop thinking about a reverse Big East situation
3. Doubt it. They'd be well behind in a rough conference.
4. See number one.

Pods - will only play someone outside your pod once a year. So Midwestern will only play West Texas A&M once during the regular season.

Re: What is the situation on the LSC/Heartland Merger updates?
I'm not sure there is enough time to play five games in the conference post-season. Looks to me that the better plan would be to take the top 2 out of each pod and then add the 2 with the best conference records from the remaining teams. That would give you 8 teams to go to Frisco.

Re: What is the situation on the LSC/Heartland Merger updates?
The last format for BB that I heard being discussed was 12 teams with top 4 getting a bye. 5-12 play at the home Monday/Tuesday of higher seed with winners joining the top 4 for the regular tourney schedule. Think it might be Monday if tourney starts on Wednesday as usual. Don't know what has been discussed for VB.

Originally posted by Brandon View PostI don't think so at all. When people think about LSC Football, they don't think about Cameron or Texas Women's College. They think of Kingsville and WT and Commerce, etc. The non-football playing schools might as well not exist to football fans.
