Tick tock. How many sports are left for Commerce to compete in for D2 this summer before they are officially D1?...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Congrats to ASU. Hopefully they can overtake Colorado Mesa for the top seed in the regionals and WT can get another crack at it....

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Gotta get permission from ASUPop first. He finally graciously allowed us to post a thread in the football forum....

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Now that I know the date I should be able to make it....

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Its all in good fun too. I like to banter back and forth. I just saw this today.

Trust me it would frustrate me years ago to see WT not...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Of course they do. They are still undefeated. I will be fun to watch it in the other sports.

I will be watching as much Lion football as...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Yep I agree and don't bother arguing with him. He doesnt and never will comprehend head to head results and strength of schedule. He will probably b!tch...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Yep especially since WT is in 8th place in their own conference....

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Well you know what they say what opinions are like.

My opinions are strictly guesses these days as I am way out of the WT loop than what...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

I completely agree. The "TAC" would become the equivalent of the SIAC and get smashed in the playoffs every year by 30 points.

...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Nationwide conversation I agree with you 100% and your point is valid.

With Windler's explanation and just guessing his possible vision he...

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Yep. D1 schools would laugh that out of town.

Most competitive D2 schools aren't going to reduce down from 36 scholarships.

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

Exactly!

This paragraph says it all here:

"Such a statewide conference could reduce the number of scholarships allowed,...
