Right - MWC for football only, most likely Big West for everything else. WAC for jack squat.
A league of UTSA, Texas State, Denver, La. Tech, San Jose St., Idaho, New Mexico St. and Utah St. doesn't really get anybody excited, does it?
And I see Crump posted while I was typing. But since I typed it, I'm leaving it.
Sounds good for SJSU, Idaho and USU to go FCS in football. Given the state of things in Louisiana, I don't think it'd be an awful idea for La. Tech to explore the same idea. Any chance they'd look at Sun Belt membership or the Sun Belt would look at them, or whatever?
A portion of their fans and donors think they are too good to ever rejoing the Sun Belt, mostly because they don't want to be affiliated with ULM. Truthfully, LT has been inquiring about Sun Belt membership as a possibility for years before this all came down because they could barely afford the WAC even with the extra money that Boise earned for them. They fit in the Sun Belt in terms of geography, budget, competitiveness, academics, etc. bu their is a lot of ego involved.
I am fine with bringing them back because it's a natural rival and it's better to be adding thatn sitting around waiting to see if you lose someone. A lot of ASU and Belt fans don't want them in regardless because of their egos and the fact that they are difficult to deal with.
