I really think we shoulda exited the UL system and joined the LSU system a few years ago when those talks where happening.
Would have been a huge gamble but there is no future for us in the UL system.
The Cajuns have whipped us in the Public relation department and that is all that really matters in today’s world.

USC is the key. For the past two years, there has been a number of articles in Pac 12 country about how unhappy USC is. The Trojans strongly believe they can make more money as an independent. They know they would make much more money in the Big 10. IF USC leaves (either alone as an independent or with a conference mate to another conference) Arizona and Arizona State are jumping ship.
You are right, HogDog, UA and ASU will not move unless the Pac 12 as we know it is diminished. But, the possibility of the Pac 12 suffering a major membership blow is greater than what many realize. (Personally, I will be shocked if the Big 10 does not make a move to get USC and at least one of the following: Washington, Oregon and UCLA.
Of course, USC could demand a bigger share of TV revenue, and the Pac 12 could agree to that. But as we all know, that will create more hostility within the conference, which will eventually blow up the Pac 12.
The Pac 12 TV deals are ending in 2023 or 2024, and negotions should start next year. We will have a good idea within 18 months what will happen on the Left Coast.
This guy is totally out of touch. SMU isn't going to let UNT join the ACC, and neither is Tulane gonna let another south Louisiana team (ULL) in either. The AAC isn't going to put a second team in the SAME market(s). Why would they do that?
This guy Dennis Dodd is not even half smart if he hasn't figured this out by now. He's way off the mark on a number of things.
One, two, three
Turn it up
Big dreams keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Nichols State once again and I think it's a sin, yes
Well I heard LA Tech sing about her
Well I heard the Bulldogs put her down
Well I hope LA Tech will remember
Conference USA don't need them around anyhow
What. Ever.

Innovator. Pioneer. Leader. MAN.
You can engage sports fans all across this country and when you mention you are a Louisiana Tech grad, you always get a favorable comment: “you guys are good in all sports”.
Much of the reason we have respect nationwide is due to a lot of innovations F Jay led on.
Fine. Forget it then.
