"Sun Belt Conference is looking hard at WAC's Karl Benson as its new commissioner, a source with WAC connections tells me."

8 Feb

I absolutely believe that Benson is a candidate and I have no idea what Side Show Joe is talking about saying that if Benson is named commissioner that some schools will look to form a new conference. I have no idea whether or not he'll actually be picked, but to suggest it would cause schools to leave the conference is laughable. Leave the Sun Belt and form a new conference with whom?

Didn't Benson have negative things to say about the SBC in the past? If so, we would be idiots to bring him on as our commish.

That wouldn't bother me since he said those things as the commissioner of a competitor.

If the merger falls apart then I see a CUSA and Sun Belt combination.

If the merger goes through then the Sun Belt absorbs what remains of the WAC. If that happens I want ASU on the side with La. Tech since it's an easy trip and would renew an old rivalry.

Absorb the WAC? No thanks. Not unless Idaho, Utah State, San Jose State, New Mexico State, Denver and Seattle are all gone...

In the scenari I see, some of the WAC ends up in the MWC and we don't take non-football schools. I am thinking LT, Texas St., UTSA and NMSU.
