I look at our home schedule for football and basketball and there just isn’t many games that get the average fan excited. You put a hated rival like LA Tech on there regularly and it is a good thing.
La Tech is annoying, but the school we need to worry about when it comes to holding us back in this state is also located off i-10 not bfe north LA. Just my opinion.
I do like the idea of a scheduling alliance for a bit, see how that goes and after they suffer a few years where they are then consider them. Big picture despite what they have attempted to do in the past it puts another regional rival on our schedule regularly, which is why I love the Southern Miss addition.
From a fan perspective regional rivalries will be what drives interest in the SBC going forward especially with all the realignment chaos everywhere else. It is what makes college athletics exciting!
You try to get teams like Memphis, ECU, UCF, Rice, UTSA. Tech is option like 5 or 6. Tech isnt going going anywhere. We can have them whenever we want. We take them if we need them and thats it.
Exactly.... What does Tech bring other than old timers (like me) remembering the ole day's rivalry.... I'd rather play Ryan Street high School every year if that is the attractionQuote:

There will be two super conferences and everyone else, P5 or G5. The question will be what would the media rights deal look like with the additions of those programs to the expected deal with the addition of Oklahoma and Texas?Quote:

Their will be some jockeying of positions with whomever is left standing from the Big 12, PAC 12 and ACC. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.Quote:

Wow I just can not keep up with this, it is crazy to see how it all shakes out in the end. As of right now their are 32 teams, if the ACC defections take place (not counting ND) that are currently P5 teams that are left standing in the ACC, Big 12 and PAC 12. Here is the current list and as of today don't have a seat at the dance (but some will).
ACC
BC, Duke, GT, Louisville, Miami, NC State, Pitt, Syracuse, VT, Wake
Big 12
Iowa State, OSU, WV, TCU, Kanas State, Texas Tech, Baylor, Kansas, UCF, Cincy, Houston and BYU
PAC 12
Oregon, Washington State, Oregon State, Cal, Washington, Stanford, Utah, Arizona State, Colorado and Arizona.
Chaos is a ladder.
WVU and UCF and possibly Cincy to the ACC only makes sense. That is the reason I doubt it happens.
If the above were to happen and BYU to whatever is left in the PAC and the Big 12 would be decimated. Only left standing would be:
Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Baylor, Houston, Texas Tech and TCU.
If that happens look for the SBC east to break off and join the remnants of the ACC, and the SBC west to join up with some of the Big 12 and AAC remnants.Quote:

All in all, I'd prefer the SBC stay together. But if that hypothetical scenario would happen, those Big 12 leftovers with us and Louisiana Tech would be cool. I'd almost say Arkansas State, but their non-football sports leave much to be desired.Quote:

Total effing chaos for everybody else in FBS.
I reiterate my desires from 30 years ago. UL needs to be in the most competitive, regional conference available. Back then, I hoped that would be the Big12. Today, I still want that, only the conference lineup will be much different.
This alliance schedule is just a great idea....we can promote it and if they don't want to than it is they who are backing down....as part of the deal would be the use of only Louisiana in scheduling, promotional , broadcasting, and scoreboard signage......Hey ltur is a tough recruiting opponent in all sports...always have been and always will be and there are some on their roster that could really help us that we wanted and some on our roster that almost went North......but no way in the conference except for other university swap offs (med school) in Lafayette!!!Quote:
