Will La Tech join the Belt
Just wondering who thinks Tech will be announced as a new member of the Belt.

Just based on all the press conferences over the last week and a half, I think it's safe to say Tech WILL be in a conference. We hope it's in the Alliance, obviously, but if the Alliance doesn't call us up, and if the Sun Belt extends an invitation, we would accept.

I can't imagine any other possible option that would work financially for us.

I just want to see how they are going to spin all of that "separation" crap they have been preaching with respect to the SBC...

I don't understand why anyone would want to be in the Alliance. It's a ridiculous footprint and the teams are simply leftovers.

And if Troy were a remotely serious candidate, your tune would be completely different. It reminds me of the high school boy who asked the hottest chick in school to the prom and she declined. His reaction, "ohhh who wants to go out with THAT girl anyway, she's a ______"

You aren't fooling anyone, Troyfan.

I've been consistent and clear on numerous different boards how I feel about this stupid "Alliance." I want no part of it. Your condecending comments toward me make you look ignorent of the truth, considering I have been preaching my point of view generously since the thing was announced.

I'm beginning to feel the same way thanks to the attitude of some of their fans.

I wouldn't mind having their program in the league, but I could do without the snottiness of a select number of their fanbase.

This is all that needs to be said about Tech fans. I find it hilarious that they even have La Tech + Conference USA on their rivals page.

I was originally for them but I'm not the type of person who would throw away dignity for a quick dollar. There is a fine line between delusion and wanting whats best.

I voted no. I think they will try for the MAC. With Temple probably leaving for the alliance, I think LA Tech gets in.

Yeah, and apparently upstart Southland teams are REALLY fast judging from Tech's overtime win over UCA last season!

There is no "separation" at all. Honestly, there is nor "separation between many if any teams slated to play in the Alliance and the teams in the Sun Belt. Sun Belt teams are definitely more athletic than MAC teams.

Tech's facilities, fanbase, market, budget, talent, etc. all place them squarely with the Belt. That's not a bad thing. It means you are better than what remains in the WAC, passing the MAC an closing on the "Alliance" teams.

It is rather annoying to read page after page of the nonsense some of their fans spout off, I had to stop before my IQ dropped.

If their board is so annoying, suggest that you don't go there. Bad for your ulcers and blood pressure.

While I'm not in favor of moving up FCS teams I say we raid the WAC for UTSA + TxST (UNT fans they are already moving up to D1 anyway next season why not we have them?) UTA for non football.

Let's keep this thing at 12 all sports 14 oly members and if we lose a team move up Georgia St.

Rusty Tech can go indy and keep begging to get into conference USA with their two good years in a WAC without any good teams.

App State is the ONLY FCS member we need to seriously consider. they bring some name brand recognition that would generate national interest. then bring in UTSA I guess to give North Texas a travel partner.

RE: Will La Tech join the Belt
We are going to be at 18 football and 20 Olympic sports, with UTA and UALR as Olympic sports only members.

West
New Mexico State
UNT
UTSA
TSU
ASU
La Tech
ULM
ULL
Lamar
UTA (Olympic sports)

East
Troy
Georgia State
FAU
MTSU
WKU
App State
Jax State
UNC Charlotte
USA
UALR (Olympic sports)

Bad thing is, the next round of poaching from the Alliance may cause us to lose UNC Charlotte and another. But, we will still have numbers, quality and the geography to be successful.
