Texas State to Mountain West? I hope not. I really like going to San Marcos for games. Unfortunately, I may have gone to my last one.

Just saw that and headed over here to see if it had been posted. I also would miss them being in the same conference especially since I live in the Austin area. This would be a big bummer.
Yeah, definitely hope TXST stays in the SBC.
Well if I was forced to be travel partners with ULM, I would want out of the SBC too.
If this happens, wonder who SBC tries to fill that spot with

I wouldn’t mind Sam Houston state as a replacement for tx st. Easy road trip and solid athletics all around. About to upgrade their football stadium also.
I know yall will hate it but the only one that makes sense is LaTech, i mean think every school is a rival, and every school is about 3 to 4 hours away from each other.
Yall really want to add WKU and give the balance to the east? We need someone west
It’s either WKU or LaTech. Probably WKU.Quote:

I don't see the value a move to the Mountain West provides to Texas State.
Agree. Living just 20 minutes from SM it’s my best opportunity to see Cajun sports. I also think the MWC is a bad option for them. They’d be more of a geographical outlier.Quote:

LaTech would be considered a rival to every school in the West. Tech-ULM, Tech-Louisiana, Tech-USM, Tech-Ark. St. i mean scheduling would be great.
We would play Tech, ULM, USM, Ark. St., USA, and Troy every year that is a win and that is what everyone would want to see.
What makes it interesting is because we do hate them so much, so does ULM, and the rest!!

The facts remains the fan support and interest when it comes to sports would increase with them being in our conference
I know many do, but I don't have a single thing against the school.Quote:

ULM is one to many.
You do if they don't want to play YOU!!!Quote:

This is my argument in adding Tech
I know y’all want WKU, but seriously, in the west, LaTech would make an instant rival with all the teams in the Sunbelt West. Just look at it: Louisiana hates Tech, ULM hates Tech, Ark St. hates Tech, USM dislikes Tech, along with Troy and South Alabama. We pride ourselves on being a very regional, compact conference. The West would be as compact as you can get. Pretty much every school is about 3 hours away from each other, making the Sunbelt West a bus league. People want to see regional rivals, and LaTech is the most regional and hated rival out of all of them. I don’t think WKU moves the needle, but if Louisiana played Tech, or ULM, or USM, or Ark St., the fan interest for that game would jump up considerably.
Trust me, it is a hate-hate rivalry, which would make it fun.
The same reason why y'all do not want to add them is the reason why we should add them
And then there is the humiliation factor of Tech coming hat in hand to the "inferior" conference.Quote:

You can list 10,000 reasons. Hell No to LTURd.Quote:
