Karma Baby!!
It's my understanding LA Tech made a furious last ditch effort to get into the SB. Louisiana & ULM didn't just close the door on that idea, they slammed it shut! 03-nutkick

I hope that was the case. A bit of humble pie would do wonders for them.

RE: Karma Baby!!
I honestly don’t believe it. Only for political purposes. Louisiana and ULM would accept LaTech.

I mean, if ESPN were willing to fund a 16 team Sun Belt, a future with La Tech in the west and WKU in the East would be instant fire.

I just don't know if we're there yet.

RE: Karma Baby!!
Maybe if we can establish the new Sun Belt as stable and a ratings friend for ESPN, possibly.

The travel and logistics make sense. If the money does, they would be welcome (in the eyes of this newb Sun Belt fan at least.)

La Tech and WKU in the conference would make us the top G5 hands down. But I fully support our long-standing Sun Belt brothers who say “no.”

There's also a risk in getting TOO big. We're not the SEC.

If ESPN paid us enough to make a 10 game league schedule worthwhile, you’d be amazed how fast I could get over the past… I suspect I’m in the deep minority on that. I wouldn’t do it on a 9 game slate, still makes it too long between seeing everyone in the other division.

I have to question the sanity of our 4 new member schools who would welcome Hotdawg, Debo, and Dogxass to this board. Those 3 plus their Adm have done more to poison our members against La Tech in spite of the majority good fans at that school.

A 16 team league doesn't have to mirror the SEC pod model.

It can simply be two divisions, 7 division and 1 cross.

Well, to be fair, they are the very vocal minority.

There are several outstanding La Tech and Western fans.

And you see each team in the other division come to your house once every 16 years… NO THANKS.

I honestly don’t know the history, but I’m a firm believer in loyalty. Anyone disloyal deserves what they get.

Bottom line, I'm good with 14.

I want to see us all establish new rivalries and friendships/hate.

I suspect it had much more to with ESPN not willing to pay for a 3rd Louisiana school than anything.

I wish la tech well. It’s sad to see an athletic program with their history get shut out so Texas and Oklahoma can make a few more bucks along with ESPN.

RE: Karma Baby!!
At one time I didn't think there was a more delusional fan base than WVU. Then realignment happened in 2003 and Marshall found itself in CUSA. Two half weeks after that TCU left CUSA and they were looking for someone to replace them. A lot of new faces on the board then pimping their school. But something about the LA Tech pimping just rubbed me the wrong way. They thought their self worth was a lot more than the value they bring.

Ruston roughly has 22K population with aprox 12.4K enrolled at LA Tech. Take away the Tech enrollment that leaves 9.6K. Even if LA Tech wanted to claim Shreveport in the Ruston DMA (They aren't Ruston to Shreveport is 69 miles, Charleston WV to Huntington WV is closer at 43 miles) that still only adds 192K.

I have had words time and again with the prick you mentioned. He is a dic, but he doesn’t represent the university.
