Conference carousel to start spinning again?

Tarleton is on the list with Stephen F Austin, Houston Baptist, Texas State and UTSA for me as Texas schools with some potential. Probably one of them will "hit", but hard to know which one.

None of those schools are going to hit anything but a brick wall. No one, aside from friends and family give a flying shit about any of those schools

Three of those schools actually draw pretty well. Not by P4 standards, but certainly by FCS standards and perhaps even G5 standards. UTSA plays in the Alamo Dome, and they actually have a following (although their basketball is shit). SFA has had some really good basketball teams. Texas State is starting to put more into athletics. And Houston Baptist....okay, they are bad even by Southland Standards and would absolutely hit a brick wall.

Tartleston State's coach is Billy Gillispie. He is on his redemption run. I got to see them live play ASU and he is getting the most from what talent he has.

I just want to say that I was very excited that we got to talk about Tarlton State, Texas State, UTSA, and Houston Baptist (who BTW is now Houston Christian).

I'm hearing rumors that the Ivy League has no plans for expansion.

Sometime The Onion will report that the Ivy League is in talks with Howard to expand into the DC area. And former soccer official Jack Warner will believe it full stop.

I agree with three out of those four. Tarlton State actually is putting a lot into athletics, and they do have potential in both football and basketball.

Houston Baptist??? As great as their alternate uniforms are, and as much as I love the massiveness of their arena (both of which are on display in the link below), I can't say I agree that they have any real potential at all...

Good gawd, those unis are so bad even in 70’s standards!

You’ve probably been to hundreds of their games…

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!!! THESE ARE THE BEST UNIFORMS IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT!!!!

I think they still wear them at least once a year.

Give or take. (Not really, but I do know people who do go to hundreds of their games a year)..

UTSA is hosting the Final Four this year. So the people I know that do go to hundreds of their games a year will have the two FF games and the championship game added to their list of games this year.
