Well back to Southland immediately. The path to the dance will definitely be easier. 

Win the southland just to get to a play in game to play the number 1 overall seed. So go on and do the stanky leg and dance away.

Yup. Southland gets disrespected every year on Selection Sunday. Honestly I think the Selection Committee would rather not have a Southland team in the tournament.

Schools have to do what they think is best for the school. Always gonna be debates. Not sure why they waited so late to announce… I still think Lamar could complete in the WAC. Last season COVID and injuries decimated the basketball season

I wouldn’t be surprised with these new super conferences about to happen any day now smaller conferences will be pushed out. They will 2 different tourneys or the NIT rules will change and that would be considered the small school tourney

I'm a traditionalist, so a lot of this stuff goes against my sensibilities. Having said that, this idea would be better for LU than getting blown out by Duke in the first round once every few years. The NIT Tournament would be a lot more interesting if it was earmarked for smaller schools, but I wonder how it would affect a tiny school like Gonzaga.

My understanding is it came down to money.  Apparently what was promised and what was delivered (or not delivered) were two separate things. My sources say there are other schools that may be following suit (as in jumping ship, maybe not to the Southland) soon.  This apparently also played a part in NMSU and Sam leaving as well, both leaving their biggest rivals (Grand Canyon and SFA, respectively) in the process.

Gonzaga is now a blue blood.  If college sports goes all megaconferences, they will be included for basketball purposes, much like a UConn or Villanova.

They would probably try to take St. Mary's with them. They have been one of the best mid-majors in the country for a long time.

I just read a article where Gonzaga could be in the big 12 for basketball only member…  but I get your point on where they will end up. Lot of these smaller schools can compete with the big boys.

I'm hoping we'll see LU at a level that they could knock off some of the bigger schools at some point...or at least be able to contend for SLC titles every year.

I’m fine with SLC titles and holding their own against the big schools. Would love to see the big schools come back to Beaumont and play a game under a packed arena. The Texas, A&M, LSU, UofH, Tech, Baylor of the worlds…
