FIU's distance from that area and only having been a member with them for a couple of years may also allow for 'some' perspective here. Tech went to a WAC which was on the upswing with good football being played at Boise, Fresno, Hawai'i, etc. Unfortunately for them the WAC's been decimated by realignment and they burned a bunch of bridges on their way to the WAC [they had a choice to go to a strong WAC or stay and help build the Sun Belt's fledgling football program; what would your school do?].

I am no real fan of Tech nor do I begrudge them for moving to the WAC, they probably could have (and should have) been a bit more humble and appreciative of their time in the Sun Belt...but that goes to character and I'm not in the mood to judge; we've got bigger issues to deal with here.

If Tech does not move to the Alliance then both sides should swallow some pride for the benefit of the whole. I like the strength of Tech's football program and think they'll make this conference much stronger. Maybe this is why WW has moved on and perhaps taken some of this bad-blood baggage with him...let's hope so.

Don't worry FIU, North Texas, & LaTech will get invites to the Alliance

Says the Tech fan sweating profusely, sitting in a dark corner in the fetal position rocking back and forth.

He's been pushing this everywhere. Tech fans have been jumping all over any articles that happen to mention them as a possibility. That and a lot of CUSA fans dont seem interested in SBC programs outside of UNT.

I still think we have to act first. Its much better to force someone's hand then to have your hand forced by someone else.
