What if Louisiana to the PAC?

[CajunNation]

. . .When the dust settles, the PAC & AAC will be the top two G5(6) leagues and we want/need to be a part of it.

This is the truth of the matter. It's even more evident when you look at our regional peers.

How would our fans respond to a conference makeup and schedule that would include:

Wash State
Oregon State
Boise State
San Diego State
Fresno State
Colorado State
Utah State
Texas State (?)
Louisiana
and Gonzaga in basketball

Outside of USM, Ark State, Texas State and occasional games vs. App State & Marshall, the SBC does not excite the average fan. Replacing ULM, S. Alabama, Troy, GA Southern, & Coastal with these teams is a major step up I would think for most fans.

And, once exit fees are resolved, the remaining MWC schools will likely also join in UNLV, New Mexico, Air Force, Nevada, and SJSU. Great road games, more formidable opponents and very likely better bowl games. And, by far a better basketball schedule.

Of course, the money has to be right, but that is for our AD to figure out. I think this is a more prestigious conference makeup.

Wash State
Oregon State
Boise State
San Diego State
Fresno State
Colorado State
Utah State

Add
Louisiana
Texas St.
New Mexkco
UTSA
Arkansas St.
USM
N. Texas or UTEP

Unlikely
Tulane
Memphis

If it were to occur the American would realign themselves East picking up App, JMU,

Sunbelt would pick up WKU, and MTSU

It would definitely be a step up and i dont see that conference going anywhere. Those teams would be aligned, and technically American and the PAC 12 would be the best G5 conference,

CUSA would dissolve!!

Unless Texas St. and us would be a island by ourselves, if they do add UNLV, NM, Air Force.

I think UTSA would definitely move with TX St., question is would they reach that far east to add us?

If the opportunity arises we should definitely take it, because it would be the only avenue to get to a Power Conference.

Until the PAC gets a media rights deal in place, we can spitball moves all we want, but money talks.

Let's move to another trailer park, just by a different name.

[Turbine]

Just don't stay stagnant.

[CajunT]

Just don't stay stagnant.

Stagnant suggest that not moving elsewhere means there is something to gain by moving, nothing can be further from the truth. As we sit today, we are in the Top of the G5. Improve MBB and get Softball back up to level we are good position. There is no reason to drain our resources any further to travel west to venues Cajun fans are not going to be seen in large numbers.

Even the SEC isn't stagnant.

Always looking to improve.

This is not true, especially in our own region.

Better than 11 am with no water

Touché 😂

[ZoomZoom]

Food for thought. ULNV won’t be the last with this problem.

Yup.
Now that a way out of the ACC is defined, panic moving amongst the non A2 programs will commence in a few years in pursuit of who is the tallest midget.

That AAC revenue sharing plan, 10 million a year, will probably turn into a train wreck. How many athletic departments make a 10 million profit today? Something has to give.

[Big Buds]

This is not true, especially in our own region.

As a whole over the last couple of years it actually is in terms of head to head games and metrics.

SP+ has the order in football as the following

SBC East
AAC
SBC West
MW
MAC
CUSA

Last Year both the SBC East and West were ahead of the entire G5.

Cajun T has a valid point and this decision would not be easy. That is of course assuming the PAC extended an invite which I don’t think would happen.

On the other hand perception is reality and a move to the PAC would fire up the fanbase! It could potentially be the best thing for our program.

At the end of the day an offer isn’t coming.

The new PAC will be at the top of the heap. The AAC ain't going anywhere. In football, the SBC is competitive. In nearly every other metric, including Academics, the SBC is a trailer park, particularly in the SBC West.

We are in the wrong conference.

We are in the wrong conference. We need to be in the SEC. Or Big Ten.
