    Correct.

    Good chance that both of them join the PAC at a later date when that fee is much less.

    Louisiana doesn’t have that luxury.
    Totally agree.

    Never claimed this was news. Just thought this should be discussed here as it is being discussed elsewhere. Interesting topic.

    IF this comes to fruition, then 100% YES!

    No, but it is an interesting discussion with UL mentioned by several outsiders to go along with Texas State.

    While waiting for that media deal to be finalized and with understanding that $7M is likely the least amount needed to make this work, let's continue to explore and keep our name in the forefront. We don't have to accept but we do need to be offered.

    Exactly.

    We have gained so much street cred since Napier. It is astounding what being ranked does for your program. People remember the last 4 years, and now we're nearly ranked again. Big reason why our name is coming up elsewhere as expansion material.

    With the new stadium, we have the facilities.
    With R1 status, we have the academics.
    With the rankings, we have the street cred.
    Our budget is close enough to the other expansion candidates to not be a problem.

    We just have to take the opportunity when it is given to us to move up.

    I don’t like the idea of going west. Unless there is 7m to fund it. I doubt that will ever happen.

    What i wish would happen but won’t, is for SBC/AAC to divide the teams into east and west. 1 could be called the sbc and the other the AAC. Or come up with new names. Create a scheduling alliance for basketball and other sports, and get a bowl to have the 2 conf champions play if no CFP invite is forthcoming.

    They could be “sister conferences” and could even tie some revenue to their respective successes against each other. Travel costs and regional rivalries would flourish and Fans could easily travel to more away games.

    Something like this probably won’t happen because everyone would
    Prefer to step on others to get ahead instead of working together and thinking practically.

    And we all hope 1 day to get the P4 invite and leave everyone else behind
