So these rumors may have been spawned by the A-Sun and WAC reaching out to the schools in question or by a DavidSt/NoDak style message board fantasy. Regardless, no such moves will take place, because, with few exceptions, it doesn't make sense to downgrade conferences like that.

I don’t get it either. There is a delusional Tarleton fan on the WAC board that suggests Lamar, SFA, SHSU, and ACU are so excited to join D2 move ups and Southern Utah over remaining in the Southland with “poor” Louisiana schools. While this doesn’t really seem to far fetched, it doesn’t really make sense to do this during a pandemic.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks hes crazy. What's scary is that most of the posters there think what he says make sense. I mean I get it. If I tied my wagon to that hitch I'd hope for the best too, but cmon. Lets be real...

Update: Tarleton is the “prized jewel” within Texas and “are going to be the lightening rod to expand A&M's brand nationally”.

Further update: Tarleton was in negotiations with 4 conferences and chose the WAC over the other 3.

What seems more realistic is that Tarleton reached out to 4 conferences and the WAC is the only one that said yes.
