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 listPosted On: Oct 18th 2021, 9:07 PM #404176
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 overduePosted On: Oct 18th 2021, 9:19 PM #404178
I would think THAT would be a requirement of accepting us!

I hope so. That is long overdue. Tired of ignoring basketball. It's the 2nd most popular sport in terms of ratings and revenue

Honestly I think baseball is more deserving of investment just based on the success of that programPosted On: Oct 19th 2021, 9:22 AM #404195
Agree with ya there and BOTH need HUGE upgrades, especially basketball to compete in the former BigEast.
ALL sports will have to have BIG improvements in recruiting to not became a doormat addition IMHO!

Navy wants to stay in the west with the Texas schools. And Wichita state is in the west for all sports but football.
Memphis will likely shift east

Could be of course but that would just be an odd choice expense wise!

Navy is already in the west right now and are football only. Wichita state is west in the rest of the sports and fits the western geographically
