What if Louisiana to the PAC?

[HoustonCajun]

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

You are correct. We are currently in a trailer park called the SBC and I believe that is how our fans perceive our conference alignment, hence the poor support. A west coast based conference without enough central teams may not be the best move, but I disagree that the PAC is also a trailer park. In no way is that conference perceived the same was as the SBC, nor is the AAC.

[CajunT]

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.

This is your opinion and completely projection at this point. Just because it will have two former PAC 12 members, we need to be part of it to raise our brand? Why? Because being in a conference with Texas St or North Texas raises our brand? We are fine in the SBC at this point and when the changes will begin, there will eventually be several super G5 Conferences just like what happens above in the P5. We will be more regionally aligned with one conference than the other.

As long as our Football program continues to win, MBB gets it right, Baseball and Softball remain relevant, we will be positioned just fine.

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

If that trailer park consist of more media money, exposure, stronger programs and would awaken our fan base, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

If that trailer park consist of more like-minded schools who value athletics and academics, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

If that trailer park means no ULM, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

If that trailer park consist of more like-minded schools who value athletics and academics, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

If that trailer park means no ULM, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

All trailer parks are subjective to a tornado.

[ColaCajun]

Football continues to win but is in a lower perceived conference and will not get us in the playoffs nor would any other SBC team. Getting our MBB back on track and dominating a one bid conference will get us a 14-16 seed each year putting us against a #1-3 seed in the first round. As much as I love baseball and softball they aren't revenue generating sports as a whole so doesn't matter if we get 5 teams in the postseason, it wouldn't be nothing financially compared to being in a league that has the team in the CFP or 4-5 teams in the NCAA Tournament every year.

Plus Texas State is probably our biggest SBC rival in softball. Them leaving would weaken the league even more and hurt our chances at ever hosting another regional. AND if the PAC takes two or so from the AAC and they pick up other SBC's schools not us, then welcome to the Southland Conference!

[ColaCajun]

So you're saying you'd rather be left rebuilding the SBC after a tornado hits adding a bunch of FCS schools again? It worked out last time but I honestly think we got lucky as hell.

If we were in the PAC and a tornado hit, it would probably hit the AAC too. Rebuilding with the PAC and AAC sounds much more appealing that rebuilding with FCS schools.

[Louisiana84]

I'm not convinced the Sun Belt Conference will endure with its current collection of universities for much longer. At some point we may have to make a move, not out of convenience, but out of necessity.

[Big Buds]

Guys…an offer isn’t coming from the PAC.

[CajunT]

If that trailer park consist of more media money, exposure, stronger programs and would awaken our fan base, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

If that trailer park consist of more like-minded schools who value athletics and academics, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

If that trailer park means no ULM, then yeah let's move to that trailer park.

Again, this is all projection. There is no new contract agreement, it's all been speculation. Show me the money.

I got news for you, everyone below the P4 is living in trailer parks. That may not be the view you have in Colorado, but the large media packages are not at the G5 level. And outside of Oregon State and Washington St, I don't view the rest of those programs major power shakers in the G5. Our record is good over the past decade and there will not be only one major conference at the G5 level.

[Louisiana84]

So, take the wheels off the trailer. We're going to be here a while.
