Question: I know we were D2 in the Lone Star conference and left in the 80s...what is the history of our conferences? I thought I had found that once but can't find it again

- 1925-31 - Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association
- 1931-84 - Lone Star Conference (LSC went D2 in 1982. Combination of NCAA and NAIA prior to that)
- 1984-87 - Gulf South Conference
- 1987 - 2021 - Southland Conference
- 2021 - ? - WAC
Came here to say what 76 said except that I thought it was the Gulf Star Conference.

ACU has the new logo on their football field.
Football has the new logo. But there’s nowhere to put one at the moment for hoops. Moody is in the midst of a massive renovation. Which is why they played at the Teague Center (no relation to Brad). Has to be a rare occurrence for a team to go unbeaten at 1-and-done home court. pic.twitter.com/cVaHOhLQfL

Lol that needs some sun fade to match. I'm sure they'll get it over the next two months.

Great read on conference tv deals by Matt Brown.
NEW EXTRA POINTS:
— Matt Brown (@MattBrownEP) June 29, 2021
What's most important for a mid-major conference TV deal. Is it maximizing revenue? Exposure? Production value? Something else?
I didn't know! So I swung by the @BigSkyConf and asked:https://t.co/0tgXiqMd7H
Behind a paywall. What's the gist, Texan?

I read the article. Mostly covered pros and cons of ESPN+ Other related online platforms. I didn't see anything regarding actual revenue targets. Matt Brown writes some pretty good stuff. Thought he had more to hit in this topic.
I was hoping he'd have numbers on viewers.
One big takeaway is that they're one of the only FCS level conference with guaranteed broadcast games. I think it's two for football and one for basketball. Missouri Valley Football doesn't even have that for football.
Also notable, ESPN wasn't highest bid. My guess is FloSports.

I think the move here for the WAC is to ask every broadcast sports streaming platform to bid.
Fox Sports, ESPN, Peacock, etc.
Sure, they may not all have the eyeballs and ubiquity of ESPN+, but you might get a team more willing to promote your product.
I forget which one, think it's peacock, who has national lacrosse league front and center right now.

There is a decent amount of sports with Peacock TV, especially your traditional NBC focused broadcasts. They just finally agreed to a deal with Amazon for those devices...which was a killer for me this past year for soccer. But will be great for next year. It's unfortunately just another app to have to pay for, but at least I can turn it on and off.

I always pay to watch the Tour, which was up to like 80 bucks last year.
Just got peacock for 5 a month, so I'll come out ahead either way.

I pitched Alex before he left on doing a mashup with Thor Ragnarok's "they've stolen my champion scene" lol. I know his video would have been fire.

Also, there isn't an easy way to change these forum names. We have to get the F5 (software) guys to do it.
What a breath of fresh air! I feel like I need a cake. And some ice cream. And balloons.PurpleOut said:

WAC commissioner Jeff Hurd will step down from his role at the end of 2021, after 10 years as commish.
— Shehan Jeyarajah (@ShehanJeyarajah) July 7, 2021
His decision comes six days after the "Texas Four" officially joined the WAC, and in the midst of other potential membership changes as the league brings back football.
