Looking at the last 5 years, UMHB average win has been 42-11. That's a staggering disparity over 57 games. This year they were down a bit, but I would be comfortable that they would be highly competitive against whoever the LSC champion was in 2019-2022. Similar for HSU.
I am not a cheerleader for either school, as I believe that their methods to get players are highly unethical. But it doesn't change the fact that both rosters are loaded with talent that is mostly higher D2 caliber, with some FCS sprinkled in.
On the facilities side, UMHB in particular spends a fortune on athletics. If they were in the LSC, their facilities would instantly be at the top of the conference. I personally would love to see them join the LSC, but I don't think it would fit their talent acquisition model.Last edited by MooseLodge; 04-05-2024, 10:20 AM.

My disagreement is with your evaluation of the LSC rosters.

Why would LSC teams want to play them? The best teams would receive no benefit in terms of playoff participation or seeding and the bad teams would likely lose.

Not saying D3 teams would be the first choice to play them, but if you just needed a game to make 10 games on the schedule, why avoid playing a D3 team, especially if they are “a easy win” for any LSC team?

I think this one is worse, but SSU wasn't a thought when I made the statement. It should have been. The thing I think they would at least have in their favor is that their landing spot was with other HBCU's.
But good example.Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

CWU had athletic expenditures of $7.35MM over the same period.
WTAMU had athletic expenditures of $11.26MM
WOU had athletic expenditures of $4.61MM
I guess it depends on perspective.
