What if Louisiana to the PAC?

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.

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

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.

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!

All of this!

The Belt passed CUSA it can pass others. In needs to make more runs at expansion

Stay aggressive or get eaten.

I'm looking for our school, and can't find the FDL.

Then, I see our sorry looking moniker. It looks so outdated and bush league.

Long term I don't believe it will either. And I certainly don't believe we have not been in discussions with other G5 schools looking at the possibility down the road. Eventually I believe that we will end of in a more regional conference, but nothing will move that direction until the P4 shakes out about us.

In the meantime, I don't see the need to jump ship to a West Coast Conference with losing programs because there are rumors of a much greater media rights deal. Any such move will raise the travel cost of this program exponentially and many fans are _____ing constantly on this site about the rising cost of UL athletics, but we should gamble on the new rebranded PAC whatever because loads of people will be willing to pay for the increase cost of such a move. LOL!!!!!!!!

Yea, you would be look for FDL and not at the wins. We are in the TOP of the G5 Conference. That matters, because every conference has crap programs in it. We are doing the right things; we just need to turn MBB around.

Whatever dude...if you think that other members of the SBC would "stay together, stay strong!" then enjoy playing ULM, McNeese and Lamar every year.

I think a former softball player years ago said "I'd rather be a small fish in a big pond, than a big fish in a small pond any day".
