Tech to the Belt?

How many votes are needed to backball their entry?

I would foresee 3 teams from 1 state as a negative....Fun for rivalries but what other Conf. has this? If you are going to do this might as well form a Louisiana Conf. with UL, ULM, Tech, McNeese, Northwestern, Southern, and Grambling.....just saying

Texas in Big 12 (Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech), and North Carolina has four ACC teams (Duke, UNC, NC State, Wake Forest) and Pennsylvania in Patriot League (Lafayette, Lehigh, Bucknell) Tennessee and Illinois have 3 each in Ohio Valley. The MAC has 6 teams from Ohio.

Trade ULM to CUSA for Tech. I don’t like either but I would take tech everyday and twice on Sunday vs ULM and then add WKU or give ULM to cusa for WKU and MT.

ULM needs to be asked to respectfully find a new home. They are deadweight and everyone knows it. If that can be achieved you add LaTech and WKU in the East. That is assuming the Hilltoppers can part ways with MT. From there, wait for the American to fall apart and add ECU and UTSA. I’m not even against adding Liberty. Hell, they would actually be the smartest replacement for TXST.

The belt will lose one team in the west and will look to replace them with one team in the west division geography as it stands now. WKU MT and liberty wouldn’t that need as it stands now. Unless they move a current eastern team to the west.

That is exactly why the ACC and Big 12 will never be the SEC or Big 10. As far as the MAC goes you are definitely supporting the argument for not over loading a conference with to many schools from one state.

Don’t forget the SLC has McNesse, NWST, SLU, and Nichols. That should help your argument.

Don’t be fooled by the ltur followers …as it stands now they are a tougher recruiting foe than ULM, perhaps much so by history …but ULM can neutralize and does so with their conference membership …..why in the he’ll give up this advantage? We are ULLaf to Ltur and they try to use it to the max …..we have the advantage now ….PLEASE LETS KEEP IT!

Tech just hired ULM’s former baseball coach. It must be summertime horse hockey time.

Tech to the Belt would stink. I would not care for it.

Monroe is a founding football member. They will never get shown the door by the conference
