Humor/educate me. What would it take to form a NEW conference in the region with capable teams who all seem to be stuck in conference purgatory, like the following:

La Tech
Houston
Rice
Southern Miss
Tulane (for academics, no doubt)
Lafayette (?)
SMU
Memphis
Tulsa
Arkansas State (?)
North Texas

This would provide good regional play with teams that all seem to be level enough as far as football programs go. It seems to me that everybody would be moving up.

Later, someone can tell me why it makes sense to be in the WAC right now, because I know there is a reason.

GO.
