    Well, the old Southland Conference of the mid-80's was salty in MBB. Tech, Lamar, McNeese, and USL were all Top 40 in 84-85, for sure, and high up other years. Throw in good teams like Arkie State, and also North Texas State the years they had Lyons (?, think that's right) and it was a strong hoops' league.

    And, really, really good in baseball from the late 70's thru the 80's.

    Football? Well, ummmm....did I mention we were good in basketball!

    Despite those "good times", I'm still glad to be away from all those schools (save for UNT who will now be a conference mate.). With our move to CUSA, it's hard for anyone to argue that LA Tech hasn't moved up. Clearly we have, and we'll be much better off for it.

    I don't understand what Benson was thinking by adding Texas-Arlington. Oh wait, he wasn't thinking. Same ole Benson. All UTA does is weaken the image of the Belch even more. Real football conferences don't have random non-football members. Texas-Arlington and Arkansas-Little Rock belong in the Southland.

    I concur. I don't see how either of those two add any value to the Sunbelt. Then again, NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!!

    It's the first step of the merger of the Sun Belt and the remains of what was the WAC. Besides, Benson needed a DFW university to replace North Texas, so he had to get UT-Arlington to maintain the Sun Belt's lock on the Dallas-Fort Worth media market.

    If my math is correct, then the Sun Belt Conference will have 10 football teams in 2013. If Benson is looking for a 12-team football conference in order to have a lucrative Sun Belt Conference championship game, will be get the remaining two members of the WAC next (N.M. State and Idaho)? New Mexico State and Idaho are the only 2 football schools left in the WAC after all the defections. Benson getting Georgia State and Texas State in the last few weeks could be the precursor toward a 12-team football league.

    Actually, if he could have haz the likes of Cal Poly, the WAC might have survived. A big part of the problem is that the Cal Polys said "no."
    University of Houston '01. Any references to "we" or "us" likely refer to UH. Cheers!

    I would have preferred taking the Bobcats over the Roadrunners for CUSA, if I had to take one of them (actual preference would be neither).
