PAC 12

[KACajun]

Think of it this way: the Sun Belt is Bob Marlin — safe, convenient, etc.
The Pac-10? That’s Coach Q — new, better competition, national exposure, and energy. If UL got that invite, the excitement would be off the charts. The Cajun community would show up, the money would flow in, and you'd see support like never before.

. . . The only thing holding back UL besides more cash is continued articulating vague vision of "we will compete for championships". Of course we are, everyone else is, too. More clarity on goals and upside will get the fanbase on board.

They love SBC Division Championships.

Winning the SBC West should not ever be considered a Championship.

Here we go! Texas State has informed the SBC of their intention of leaving and will accept invite from the Pac-12.

Every possible move would cost more,

True Statement

but at the same time, there isn't a conference move (being discussed) that would result in less operations money after expenses.

Speculative at best. Show me the spreadsheet with ACTUAL numbers.

Fan excitement and involvement would balloon the coffers even further.

Once again speculative on both counts.

The PAC-12?? Good chance it could be the PAC-6 within a few years.

Would it? Where exactly would these teams jump to?

No one's worried about long term security in college football. It's now a game of musical chairs every two years. UL should make sure they have a seat at the big boy table when the music stops.

HA!

We're the weird 50 year old Uncle that still sits at the kiddie table for Thanksgiving, and LOVES it.

A new conference affiliation.... isn't even worth talking about... (diversionary disclaimer)

I don't understand this line of thinking.

Every school that has ever moved up (conference wise) has to varying degress experienced increased attendance, fan interest, and cash flow.

SBC schools from the early 2010s -> CUSA may have a word with you.
