No To Tech

If Doc would take the full 3% instead of the 2% wouldn't athletics have around 6 million more dollars?

If we had a true 20,000 students then maybe.

This take is worse than your uniform threads

Name a Sunbelt school that could pull this off? average attendance in 2024 was 27,213 and that is playing in the SWAC!

I got mine but mine will never happen!! What i honestly think we should add is Jackson State! Here is why i am ready for the people on this board to just crucify me!

-Be first HBCU school to move up

-Would triple the support it has already has with them moving to a Division I-A conference.

-Sunbelt would get alot of publicity with it being a HBCU.

-Recruiting for JSU would go through the roof.

- Averaged 42,000+ fans per home game in 2022 still averaging 30k plus for home games

—#1 in FCS, outdrawing many FBS programs.

- Consistently ranks among the top in all of Division I for attendance.

- Signed Travis Hunter, the No. 1 overall recruit in 2022—historic for an FCS program.

- Attracted multiple Power Five transfers and four- to five-star recruits.

- Located in a recruiting hotbed Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia—ideal for building a top-tier Sun Belt roster.

- Based in Jackson, Mississippi, the state’s capital and largest city.

- Metro population of 600,000, offering a sizable media market and regional visibility.

- Strategically located near existing Sun Belt schools like Southern Miss, South Alabama, and Louisiana.

- Plays at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium (capacity: 60,000+), larger than most Sun Belt venues.

- Stadium and infrastructure already capable of supporting FBS-level operations with modest upgrades.

- High attendance strong ticket revenue and local economic impact.

- National brand recognition supports sponsorships, merchandise sales, and media interest.

- FBS membership would unlock access to bowl revenue, TV contracts, and NIL opportunities.

- It would bring in another school from Mississippi, with them owning the Jackson, Mississippi market.

Well cheapest tickets for the Las Vegas Classic against Jackson State and Grambling are $115 dollars. Which means it will probably sell out in Vegas!

How many does Allegiant Stadium in Vegas hold 65k?

If UL played against you name it could not do it.

I could go for that.

Texas State is leaving the conference, and all of a sudden we wont survive if Tech doesn't join the conference. LoL! What in the world? This is wild. LoL!

I would take tech all day over Lamar. A big fat no to Lamar. Ever.

Well, that settles it. Jackson State and Tech it is. How could anyone argue.
*hard eye roll
Dude, that's 2 HBCU's playing each other. You think UL is getting that many fans to go play Jackson St on the road? You think UL is getting this fan increase to come see us play Jackson f'in State at Cajun Field? You've lost your mind.
