It's Official....Stanford, Cal and SMU to the ACC.

If the PAC could fail with all of their brands because of being west of the Miss R.

You think a G5 league could thrive?

The time zone is what hurt them, not west of Mississippi. Along with extremely poor leadership.

That would be my guess as well. I don't think the Texas schools want any part of Texas State. The question is would GSU take the offer. AAC could stand pat as well.

If GSU bolts, the question becomes who do you add to the East? I mean, teams you could reasonably get (I don't think East Carolina fits that statement).

WKU or Liberty.

Why not just do away with football conferences and let ESPN/FOX be footbal czars. Let them set the football schedules and distribute the money. All other sports play in regional conferences.

Almost like many who warned about espn long ago were not conspiracy theorists

[R1Letterman]

Well if that happens, then make donors pay for the "student athletes'" tuition, books, meals, etc. Or hell, don't even have them as part of the school. Call them by the city in which they play with some other mascot name.

Wow, we have that some of the time already, is that our ticket to p5, lol

[MelRock]

If that happens, we could put together a pretty formidable west break off.

Louisiana
S. Miss
Tulane
Rice
Texas State
UTSA
N. Texas
Tulsa
Memphis
Ark State
LA Tech
UAB
S. Alabama
Troy

Let tech @ Ruston die. I want nothing to do with them.

I'm talking about IF the East portion of the SBC breaks out as was posted. Then what do we do? What do all of the West teams in the SBC do?

Our Fanbase, and future Fanbase, need some real hate. There are positives to adding them.

Southern Miss is the rivalry we want. LaTurd is irrelevant.

…….With all the portal/NILs I checked the transfer schools and the TCU LSU Tulane all have their schools’ transferred from as louisiana…..man I hope we stay with this….LOUISIANA!!!!!

Of course, but we can only have one rival?

Does not matter. Let Tech die.
