Podcast: Dr. Bryan Maggard (9-10-21)

[RECORDedit]

Louisiana Ragin' Cajun Director of Athletics Dr. Bryan Maggard joined Scott to discuss the latest in conference realignment, the home opener, why everything is setup for the best attendance of the Napier era, a call to the community to make it happen, and much more.

If you listen to this, you will note Dr. Maggard said the key word coming out of recent SBC meetings is "solidarity". That sounds familiar does it not. I am sure the typical response to that remark is "he and reps from the other schools have to say that at this stage". That makes sense Dr. Maggard made this remark in response to Scott asking him about a recent report that the SBC will soon go to 12 schools with UTA and Little Rock having to find new homes. Would be ironic if some CUSA schools left there to move to the SBC. For some, the travel situation would improve with such a move.

If the SBC could make a play for North Texas, Rice, S. Miss, and UAB.....we would have something across all sports.

[Turbine]

I heard (cant remember when) the Sunbelt will at "some point in time" make a play for UNT, Middle Tennessee, FAU, FIU and Western Kentucky.

Mark it down.

So we invite those guys back to the belt?

….I guess ltur and Miss southern are our best geographic picks…. But I would not give ltur the enhancement of a better conference…..sure their thought process is the same after their ADs comments!

I seriously doubt any former member of the SBC gets invited back.

[Geaux]

Makes sense not to add UNT, DFW is an OU, UT, and Dallas Cowboys market.

That group plus the necks can all stick together, wherever they end up.

Dont be surprised if they end up next to UL.

[Cajun90]

On 96.5 this a.m. they interviewed Maggard and he talked a lot about the SBC potentionally going on the offensive and adding teams. I don't think this was lip service. Don't be surprised if the SBC is the one going after other teams in the AAC and CUSA.
