Texas State Headed To Mountain West Conference?

[roarman]

Texas State to Mountain West? I hope not. I really like going to San Marcos for games. Unfortunately, I may have gone to my last one.

Just saw that and headed over here to see if it had been posted. I also would miss them being in the same conference especially since I live in the Austin area. This would be a big bummer.

Yeah, definitely hope TXST stays in the SBC.

Well if I was forced to be travel partners with ULM, I would want out of the SBC too.

If this happens, wonder who SBC tries to fill that spot with

Wake forest.

Maybe they should have invited Sam Houston state.

I wouldn’t mind Sam Houston state as a replacement for tx st. Easy road trip and solid athletics all around. About to upgrade their football stadium also.

I know yall will hate it but the only one that makes sense is LaTech, i mean think every school is a rival, and every school is about 3 to 4 hours away from each other.

Yall really want to add WKU and give the balance to the east? We need someone west

It’s either WKU or LaTech. Probably WKU.

After blowing a lead to Sam Houston? TXST has some good programs, but no history of winning consistently. Go to the mountain west. The sun belt will still be stronger.

I don't see the value a move to the Mountain West provides to Texas State.

Agree. Living just 20 minutes from SM it’s my best opportunity to see Cajun sports. I also think the MWC is a bad option for them. They’d be more of a geographical outlier.

Same here. Im definitely missing something here. MAC, MW, AAC, CUSA and SBC. It's definitely b/t AAC or SBC. And as of the last 3 years, I'm picking the Belt as the Top G5.

I know y’all keep saying WKU, but think about it?

LaTech would be considered a rival to every school in the West. Tech-ULM, Tech-Louisiana, Tech-USM, Tech-Ark. St. i mean scheduling would be great.

We would play Tech, ULM, USM, Ark. St., USA, and Troy every year that is a win and that is what everyone would want to see.

What makes it interesting is because we do hate them so much, so does ULM, and the rest!!

"You don't need to be in the same conference to play an in-state school every year."
