MTSU is good at every sport they play, N. Texas is improving too from the Sun Belt.

Tech is shady with their attendance, I've watched some games on TV and there's no way 20k people are in those stands.

I was at the Hawaii, Boise and Nicholls games last year. Crowd was decent at Nicholls and Hawaii and Boise easily had 20K there. Students really came out in good numbers last year which hasn't been the case in a while.

I agree with you fwiw, I've been at games in the past where they announce the attendance and you look around and think to yourself, "my arse" but attendance was decent last year.

All small schools do it, so it's not just a Tech thing. Just saying anyone who thinks the Big XII is viable is just lying to themselves.

That's bullshite on so many levels...I don't know where to start.

They have zero chance of ever having the Big XII Commish, utter the words Louisiana Tech, much less extending them an invite.

I want a billion dollars too, but the chances of me earning that much over my lifetime are, well...about as good as Tech being invited to the Big XII.

This may not be good for LSU with all of the Texas schools traveling and visiting north LA on a regular basis.

Maybe, just maybe, this will be coming to fruition during your grandkid's grandkids heyday?
