Lafayette would be right smack dab in the middle. Probably no more then 300 miles from any western opponent except
for Ark St.
Norfolk - 1095 mi

Someone needs to do the cost analysis of adding Tech to the Sunbelt West.
Then at best how much in Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Football the increase in attendance vs. a WKU?
Does WKU increase fans in Baseball, Softball, or Football vs. Tech. No way does WKU makes that needle move except maybe Basketball
Tech and WKU both left and said good riddance to the Sun Belt.
Isn't there someone else out there?

If Tech wants into this conference there needs to be a stipulation that they MUST refer to us as Louisiana or UL at all sporting events to include showing it on the scoreboard and state it in all broadcast… failure to comply will result in financial restitution paid to our university…. Also if I was ULM I would force them (tech) to recognize them as such and pay the same financial penalty. It would be one way to stick it to the necksters… MAKE THEM SAY OUR NAME!
We don't need three Sun Belt schools in the State of Louisiana. Why create additional recruiting competition within the State, when there is already plenty. The Sun Belt is now several steps above CUSA, why elevate LA Techs status?
I think Tech would have a snowball's chance in hell getting in the SBC. They done urinated on enough members where they won't even try. It's not just a UL/ULM issue. As long as they have the same donor family calling the shots, that leopard isn't changing their spots.
Tommy Mac's little video was the pure essence of the donor leadership at L A Tech. Let them rot.
