Tech to the Belt, 2026

No high-school recruit will take Louisiana seriously when over a 1/3 of your opponents every single year are in-state schools.

If they sign its like they never graduated high school.

Thats a good point.... no off3nse to UNO, but that is why i didnt want to go there, i couldnt imagine taking basically the same drive in to college that I took everyday for 5 years to HS (started in 8th).... probably if i was from somewhere else UNO would have been more attractive.

If Tech is invited I will feel a little like Texas A & M when Texas was invited to the SEC. We have worked hard for a clear separation and recruiting advantage in the perception of Louisiana fans and recruits and now it will be given away.

Texas A&M never had an advantage over them, except maybe money wasted on coaches salaries

Parents here will love it.

If the rumors are true that Tech is joining the Belt, I think that would be a great move for fan support and overall interest. Their addition would make things a whole lot more exciting.

In the West Division, how would you rank the level of animosity toward Louisiana Tech—from most to least?

-ULM
-Louisiana
-Ark. St.
-Southern Miss- they consider each other a rival, but there is so much animosity that i have to put them 4th on this list
-USA
-Troy

For this reason alone is why I want them in.

Letting tech into the belt will only kill ULM. Conference affiliation was the only thing keeping ULM on techs level. I’m hoping it won’t affect us recruiting wise.

Ranking them as a Cajuns fan. It’s fluctuates for different sports but overall ranking
1. Tuck fech
2. South Al
3. Arkansas state
4. Troy
5. USM
6. ULM(just not relevant)

I promise that if they go head to head ULM and Tech either side would get 30k for that game.

The levels are there trust me. Be like the S. Carolina and Clemson matchups fights might actually break out.

I would assume Ark. St. UL, and ULM and maybe Southern Miss is there number 1 on that list as far as animosity is concerned.

I don’t think fans under 35 hate Tech the way the rest of us do. They weren’t around for the worst of the disrespect.
