UL AD and Coaches THRILLED With Louisiana Tech Being Added to Sunbelt West

[IberiaCajun]

Disappointing.

Three schools from the same state, from the same academic system, in the same conference is insanity.

So disgusting to read that article.

[RedTails]

I know the SLC analogies have seemed hyperbole, but the article really oozes it.

[DieHard 1280]

Embrace the small time, baby!

So depressing that our admin and Maggard have given up.

Why wouldn't they make the effort to explain this decision prior to the vote? You know, possibly get an idea of how the fans who donate feel about this. I wonder if they actually care about what we think. In my opinion, they don't give a s h i t about us. This will backfire on them.

We’re such suckers. Us and ULM after the way LTU acted towards us for DECADES.

Would they have done the same favor if the roles were reversed and we were in a rotting conference. Hell no they wouldn’t.

So why in the hell would we have supported them joining the conference unless we’re led either by suckers or scrupleless people.

Coaches are not going to disrespect other programs in their league publicly. What is said behind closed doors is another matter. Come on, do you really believe they would embarrass their AD and President publicly? BTW, these coaches would much rather bus to Ruston than Texas State. Besides, they can stop and eat at Foote's favorite Chicken/Burger joint on the way.

If it made sense the two, schools would have already been playing each other every year for decades .

Athletic Directors should not need a conference to hold their hand and force their hand, only to state how, much they love the idea.

[Turbine]

No one ever liked the idea of same system, same state ULM and Louisiana in the same conference.

If 2 was bad, 3 must be better?
