What kind of cost-containment strategy does the WAC have that may be enticing for the Southland additions?

Divisions with the Texas schools isolated from everyone but perhaps NMSU (if needed) once Chicago State is out?

Could we see very limited cross-division play (perhaps in volleyball, softball and tennis), having "round up" like events that all schools converge at...? What does women's soccer look like?
Basketball featuring home-and-home arrangements within division and just one home or away with other division (in an effort to limit plane trips)?
Divisional play in baseball too with a somewhat similar arrangement to basketball?

You know what the Southland is and what it isn't. Its not getting better and how would it get better.

What they can offer appears to be a division which would be
Sam,SFA, Lamar, RGV, Tarleton and Chicago.

Exactly, everyone seems to be crying about travel and money. If they can’t afford it or cry about traveling, stay in your stuck in the mud conference. The WAC is trying to build something and we need schools similar minded. Tarleton and Dixie are perfect examples of schools that want to excel.

Tarleton fans: was there this much crying about money and travel when rumors started that you guys were joining the WAC? I know if NMSU got a call up to the MW, we’d jump on it worry about things later.
