TAMUK to get more competition for football players in South Texas

[Techster88]

Yes, he was the major stumbling block that tabled the merger. It is not dead, but it also also on the back burner until there are some behind the scenes...

[Techster88]

Not completely. TAMUK leadership for the past of couple of decades also has to share in the blame. I just know him as a politician who does not like...

[Techster88]

You are correct in that there was opposition on the CC side. But, that opposition could have been overcome with some negotiation. But, the K’ville...

[Techster88]

Ding, ding, ding. Winner winner chicken dinner. He is the one with the purse strings stamp of approval....

[Techster88]

If this isn’t a wake up call to start investing and improving your facilities then you are correct the program is not a priority. I do know when you...

[Techster88]

Not so sure if a merger happened that either city name would be retained. Much like UTRGV a regional name would most likely occur. That was in the original...

[Techster88]

My guess is that WT fits the 14th member description....

[Techster88]

UTRGV has provided a letter of intent to start football in roughly 3 years. Along with UTSA this will be another football school in TAMUK's backyard....

[Techster88]

Yeah, I don't see either of these schools making the jump any time soon. Mesa would be the more likely candidate and they declined. So, that ship has...

[Techster88]

That would be a great Conference but I haven’t heard of anything like it. Mesa and Metro both declined a WAC offer 2-3 years ago before Dixie and Tarleton...

[Techster88]

That story and getting burned was over the top and made me laugh so hard. Same thing happened to me as a kid in a crowd. You just start feeling something...

Now its official, but...

[Techster88]

Not sure. State of Louisiana might frown on McNeese leaving. Their stadium took a massive hit from a hurricane this fall. But overall I agree they are...

[Techster88]

I concur, what will be left of the SLC after calling the bluff of these 5 schools? When not if they depart what will you have left ? 5 broke LA schools...

[Techster88]

From what I’m hearing is that SFA, Sam, Central Ark, and to some degree Lamar and ACU were tired of what they considered dead weight of LA schools and...

[Techster88]

Stephen F. Austin to leave Southland for WAC on July 2, 2022. Southland Conference wants them gone this year instead.

[Techster88]

Lol, I’m not disputing the current status of PUF . I’m just giving you insight into what Daddy Warbucks is attempting to accomplish. To be the Number...

[Techster88]

Well, doubting Thomas it’s all about YOUR BRAND. I’m not an Aggie but I also have resigned myself to never say never. And, unless 2/3 of those in...

[Techster88]

Great question. You answered your own question when you brought up the disparity in PUF between A&M & UT. In Sharp’s mind he believes that...

[Techster88]

I don’t disagree with anything you are saying. Heck, if I was a WT alumni would want stay in D2 also. I was just giving you the A&M perspective...
