the SWAC teams are saying "nah", but honestly, the two conferences need to merge

Horrible idea. But beggars cant be choosers. As a SELU fan\alum i would go to the sun belt and ask to be included.

What other options do they have? It's kind of a limited pool as far as adding football programs.

This thought process is why the SWAC is a joke and the Southland needs to stay away from their schools.

quote:

“The unfortunate death of George Floyd has resulted in HBCUs receiving a level of attention and awareness that we’ve never seen before,” said another source in a text message. “With the addition of FAMU and BCU joining the conference and all the other things the SWAC is doing right now, leaving the SWAC to join the Southland would not be in our best interest.”


I have no words for how idiotic this is.

Thats what i said, beggars cant be choosers. Louisiana has so much talent in baseball and football. Gotta keep the conference together or elevate another conference.

Horrible idea because youre asking teams to leave a conference that solidifies their history and why they are who they are.

I guess the only other option would be getting some D2 schools to move up. I get it's a football move, but outside of Tex Southern those SWAC schools are just flat out garbage in basketball.

Nailed it. The football programs put 2 or 3 teams in the playoffs every year. Sam houston is a huge loss for the conference. They are always a top dog in football. The question is why are we asking the swac now? I would assume these execs know they arent budging. We are 90 days away from football and knew the texas schools were gone 4 or 5 months ago. Hopefully this is planned.

George Floyd was so unfortunate that they are capitalizing on it

Central arkansas and incarnate world i believe. I think all texas schools are gone but 1, and i gotta imagine its incarnate. Like i said, "i think." But southland cant last on 6 schools.

No, UCA is leaving for the Atlantic Sun. Houston Baptist is left with UIW in football. TAMU-Corpus Christi is also a member of the conference in other sports.
