T-Joe will retire after the Spring 2026 semester.

President Nero.

Too soon?

The SunBelt didn't need La Tech and the East certainly didn't want them. Arms had to be twisted to make the vote work. While the regional stuff is true, the university and its programs don't bring anything more than what Texas State offered. If anything, we lost better facilities, a better destination, a more recently relevant football team, better softball, comparative baseball.

Gained an upgrade in basketball and a shorter bus trip.

I'd venture to say LaTex needed the Sunbelt.

San Marcos is absolutely a better destination for visitors than Ruston. Huge downgrade from that angle.

This was a huge mistake. Makes me nauseated. The beginning of the end.

I hope the vote was 12-1

I hope the vote was 12-1

If it was, it was one of the East teams with the NO. We wouldn't dare do anything to ruffle the good ole boy political feathers in Louisiana.

On the Sunbelt board they said the vote was 10-3 with the virginia schools and marshall all voted no, but the conference will say in the end the vote was unanimous 13-0.

Someone correct me if i am wrong? I am not an insider
