Let me ask this question. I ask it truthfully, not as a slam against Louisiana Tech, a school I have always enjoyed competing against.
If things don't work out for you with the WAC (and I have to say that this looks like they are sending La. Tech a message here) and, given Western kentucky's move to 1-A, giving the Sun Belt 9 football schools.............
What makes you think the Sun Belt is an option for La Tech???
Because, from what I hear, it may not be.
I can assure you that nothing would please Waters more than to be able to say publicly..."We don't need Louisiana Tech in the Sunbelt."
We definately need to address our own attendance issues, but the attendance issues you guys (the entire conference) have are in even more desperate need of attention. So, don't go around spouting off about "9 football schools" just yet.
The Sunbelt would add La. Tech. Quick solution to attendance woes at UL-X.
The WAC plan is great...but who's going to develop and implement it at LOUISIANA TECH?
I damned sure won't be the guy we have sitting in the AD's chair right now!
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
