luckily that plan didn't go through… hopefully we are successful at getting in …

I'm shocked if true and Louisiana Tech didn't get in over one of the other 3 Texas schools. I've heard big things on them and FAU adding to facilities and such.Posted On: Oct 18th 2021, 8:42 PM #404174
I mean you can easily tell it was about markets. Ruston probably wasn’t high on the list

I mean obviously but that is a mistake cusa made. You have to get both. . .
I get it with marshall. They are broke. But I thought la tech was going to add a lot from the people I talked to around their campus.
If the sun belt adds Marshall , southern miss, wku and la tech we could see markets vs on field product. I hope we and the other market adds improve in that case.
We need to get a new basketball arena and try to actually win in that sport now too. Would be long overdue

Let’s look at this way. FAU as a university comes out the winners in this move. Besides the better TV deal that AAC has that will help Athletics you often see commercials for a school like Temple or a soon to be leaving UCF come on during a football program with AAC schools. And this is a terrific opportunity for President Kelly and the university to promote the school and get the name out there to potential students.
