If the WAC

[bigred360]

It was our first year and we were 1-3 versus the SLC but I see what you are saying and agree we need to work on the football program and watch the university's growth.

UNLV, under this plan where do you put UT and TAMU?  The SEC?
[/quote]Pressure is very strong for AM to join the SEC. And the SEC wants AM.

UT could go independent. It would be awesome if UT dumped its remaining sports here
New Mexico st
ULL
UTSA
TSU
Ark st
Lamar
Missouri st
La tech
Denver-non football
UALR-non football
Texas-Non football
Oklahoma-non football.

Don't see UT going independent.  In this day and time, it doesn't work like before.  Notre Dame is exhibit #1.  They will eventually join a confence.  The Big 12, or maybe UT should look to align with ND and then keep the really good schools in the Big 12 and then pick off a few SEC/Big Ten schools and form a newly revamped conference.  Say Keep UT/A&M/Oklahoma/OKie lite/Mizzou & KU under the Big 12 umbrella, then add ND and pick off say LSU/Alabama/Auburn/Arkansas (screw the Florida schools) from the SEC and also add OSU/Michigan/Michigan State from the big ten (oh poor Nebraska)and you have the premiere conference in the college football.  The the rest of the guys scramble to fill the open slots.
