Not a single one of those schools has ever shown a bit of interest in being in conference with UL. The AAC is a pipe dream for us right now. Anyone that feels like it's either the AAC or bust for us might as well get comfortable with the idea of being in the Sun Belt for a long time.
A geographic reshuffling of the SBC and CUSA makes a lot of sense and is not out of the question for most members of those conferences. I wish we'd work toward making this happen. Something like:
UTSA-La Tech
UNT-Ark St
Rice-UL
UTEP-NMSU
TX St-USA
USM-UAB
I thought NMSU was out? and what is the purpose behind the pairs of two, is it just for basketball road trips?
I noticed patriot league plays four game conference series in baseball. I guess to cut down travel, but it seems that if we had four "weekend" conference battle tested starters we would have huge advantage in regionals?
I doubt it would do anything one way or the other.
