Kind of surprised that WKU did not find a spot. Solid basketball history, recent football success and good fan support.


They don't have appeal to the AAC as a metro area. They also left the Sun Belt, as did Middle Tennessee.

Idk how direct I can be, I think If I was in Ruston position, I would be trying to figure out a way to move up to a level like the SWAC.

Yes! McNeese and LTU in the same conference. Perfect fit! That’s what I call some major separation, lol.

What’s funny is you beating your chest like you did something. Louisiana Tech dominated conference USA and is just collateral damage of ESPN crushing its competition.

It wasn’t like Louisiana Tech moved up to conference USA and fell flat on their face. They did everything they could to be successful in apparently the only place it doesn’t matter, the actual field.

I don't know if the full story of the last several months will ever come out, but I will say the administrations in Monroe, Jonesboro, and Lafayette all lobbied for LTU to come with USM and Marshall and ODU to the East. It's the reason I mentioned a few days ago CCU and App would possibly join CUSA if JMU and Liberty were to make that move. Those two schools strong armed the West and it came down to USM being a better geographical and culture fit with the West. The SBC is a good conference and the additions strengthen them as tier 1B/2 behind the MWC moving forward IMHO. Just know that all the power for decisions in the conference is now firmly planted on the eastern side.

Louisiana Tech is about to hit some rough road. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out for their administration.

I clearly see independent status in football and it would be amazing for them…but where do you park the remaining sports? Heck, at this rate, if. CUSA dissolves, Tech won’t have the money to remove the CUSA logos from their fields or courts.

This is a perfect example of why you don’t hire a SJW to be the leader of any important entity. She was completely caught off guard and left to rot by 8 members.

I am going to try to find and read the CUSA minutes from earlier this year - should be entertaining.

They did feel that way, which is why they wanted out of the WAC. Made no sense to even be in that conference.

Your butt hurt is strong

Must you make us post the Tommy Mac video again? You guys have been walking around for years thinking you were so much better than us, and now you want our pity? The crap that ULM has had to put up with y’all especially makes all this karma slapping y’all upside the head just somvery sweet. But hey. Have fun with your new conf with mcneese.

Lol. For someone from ruston you might be kinda smart anyway.

You guys have been snobby ‘retards’ for all these years. From your admin down to your fans. Now you have a chance to know how much fun it was to have to deal with y’all.
