It would be great for the old Gulf States Conference to re-form from the current Southland, Sunbelt, and including Tech.

Imagine this:

SLU
Nicholls
ULL
ULM
McNeese
La Tech
Northwestern
Louisiana College

From outside the state, throw in:
SFA
Sam Houston State
Lamar (Returning to football soon)
UCA

That would be one solid conference with light travel. The teams could bus to every game!

I know that scenario doesn't fit the delusional aspirations of certain football programs in the state, but I think that would be great. I remember the old GSC. It had great rivalries and made economic sense.

A serious dream that Tech, ULM or ULL will ever compete for a Div I national championship is laughable.

Something tells me that CUSA will fall apart in the next decade. I think the Big East will end up having to pick up a couple CUSA schools (UCF and Memphis being obvious choices, with Marshall and ECU being distant maybes). I would love to see the remainder of CUSA split into two separate conferences and pick up SBC schools to fill out their lineup:

New SWC:
East
Arkansas State
Louisiana-Monroe
Louisiana-Lafayette
Louisiana Tech
Tulane
Tulsa

West
Houston
North Texas
Rice
Southern Methodist
Texas-El Paso
Texas State


New SIAA:
East
Appalachian State
East Carolina
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Georgia Southern
Marshall

West
Alabama-Birmingham
Middle Tennessee State
South Alabama
Southern Mississippi
Troy
Western Kentucky
