How pissed off would La Tech be?

quote:

The Hawaii Star-Advertiser is reporting that the Western Athletic conference could look to Texas as it seeks to replenish its ranks, identifying Lamar as a potential candidate.

But believe it or not, I’m hearing that the Western wants to make yet another run at North Texas, which has already spurned the league multiple times, most recently just a few months ago.

Along with Louisiana-Lafayette
, who has been identified by sources in two separate athletic departments, those two would appear to be the top preferences to fill the void about to be left by Boise State, Nevada, Fresno State and Hawaii.



BTW, no way do we accept the invite.

Their travel budget would skyrocket with no added value in participating in the WAC.

Lamar is making the move after 1 year of playing DII?

The WAC is looking for anyone to accept an offer to join their sinking ship. The schools that brought recognition to the conference are all gone. UTSA and Texas State are upstarts and it will take time for them to be competitive. Adding North Texas and UL-L who are both current FBS programs would give the WAC a bit of credibility. That isn't going to happen though.

The good news for LA Tech is they should be at the top of the new WAC for a while and should get some bowl exposure.

Why would La. Tech be pissed if ULLLLL joined the WAC?

It would be an inexpensive home and home series and an almost conference automatic win for Tech every year? Sounds to me like Tech would love that.
