Ok. Just sounds like it already had been, and I'm still in the camp where I would be supportive of any move, but honestly would be shocked if the WAC is a benefit to us. I guess a true Eastern regional makes some sense if it's Texas/New Mexico, but if we get the whole conference as competition?
I'll wait with baited breath.
I think that's part of the biggest discussion. We can't have all teams and sports fly to the West Coast every week obviously. But if the majority of our games are in Texas like you said...then there's not going to be much different travel cost wise.nacluth said:

That's a make or break aspect.
I'm still skeptical overall, just want it to be the right decision, but I'm coming around somewhat on the thought. And also like you, I'll support the decision 100%.
I think there's an overall thought that if there's an opportunity to get out of the current situation (SLC), then we should take it and avoid the potential thought of missing out in a few years. But we'll see.
I believe FCS has typically been a minimum of six teams to get an AQ.TallTexan said:
The potential problem I see here is there is probably a minimum number of teams required for an FCS football conference. FBS requires 8 teams.
This would be 6 FCS teams and 1 FBS independent. So I think they'd probably need two more football schools.

Big picture folks. If our university administration and athletic department leaderships determine the WAC is the right move, then they believe it is the right move towards the " best mid major" vision. They believe it is a move that helps us get to a 15,000 enrollment, or more. Not a football move. Not a basketball move. An SFA and SFA women and men athletics move. I embrace the bigger, broader vision of what can be.
(FBS football is way down the road, if ever.)
Which Tweet? I probably saw it, but don't recall and curious about exactly what you said.SFA_03 said:
Seems like a copy paste of my Twitter post but whatever...
In seriousness, you're right. We need to keep the big picture in mind.
