Conference realignment again????

[RaginDave]

The SBC isn’t taking 3 schools from Louisiana. The East would rather WKU that could swing both ways.

TxSt leaves would open door to elimination of ULM back into 12 team conference. It’s all speculation

Then I would assume Liberty would be off the table as well, as that would give you 3 schools in Virgina (ODU, JMU and Liberty) and UAB off the table with 3 schools from Alabama (but I think this would be a huge mistake not taking UAB, if they were interested), although I think there would be other reasons for Liberty not to get an invite.

Virginia is a much bigger state than Louisiana. The closest state to Louisiana is Arkansas, but they don’t have nearly as many FBS programs as Louisiana, and less talent. USM is in the sweet spot. 2 mediocre P5 and themselves.

Liberty isn’t wanted regardless of anything else except being Liberty

Well WKU does have their goat lovers, so swinging both ways should work well for them!

So using that logic, if UAB or Tulane came calling to the SBC if and when Texas State left, you think the SBC would say no?

Well both bring more to the table, they might get a mulligan. The conference seems to be avoiding private schools.

If Texas State would happen to leave, we will do something, I don't think the SBC would stay at 13. Of the guys you listed, I think only Liberty would be a viable option. SMU is highly likely going to get an invite from a P5 conference if movement happens. UTSA, Tulane, Memphis, ECU and USF would rather stay where they are and hope for that they would be next on the list for a P5 offer. Liberty wanted the SBC before and clearly would think that the SBC would be a much better conference long term than the CUSA, the question is would the SBC want Liberty. I stick to my guns, that UAB would be the best option for the SBC, but I don't think they would do so for the same above reasons. While we would hate for it to happen, the most logical and most geographical option would be Tech, SHSU or Jacksonville State...

OK. You win. After doing a little research on attendance and program quiality, I'm willing to add UAB to my Wish List, but that is it. I would create a separate, "If we have to" list.... Rice and Tech, but I don't see whay we would have to do it. The last thing we need to do right now is add a school that has no upside just to do it.

I hate LSU, but they are not coming to Cajun Field to play us in football and we will never have a home and home with them in football. Anyone that thinks our football team could beat LSU is smoking some good stuff. That is just the facts jack, like it or not.

GTFOOH with that soft ass take. How in the world did App beat aTm last year?

People seem to forget that Troy went in there and beat the mighty tigers in 17. Not 2 years later the Cajuns beat Troy by 50. I know transitive property doesn’t always work in sports but to act like it’s impossible to beat them is ridiculous. But considering who is posting that it’s not surprising

[CajunNation]

OK. Let's address the elephant in the room.

SMU goes to the PAC.

AAC WEST needs a replacement

Wichita State
Tulsa
North Texas
UTSA
Rice
Tulane
Memphis


It's gonna be us or USM.

[GeauxCajuns]

if neither of us go, i dont know if i make that jump

So you are saying the Cajuns could beat TSAB this year in TSAB stadium?

It is like the lottery someone has to win so anything is possible. I am telling you right now we can't beat them.
