WAC adds Seattle

[AshlyHasBeen]

It's official Seattle has accepted the invitation.

I would much rather the Sunbelt over the WAC. Seattle, really? Horrible IMO.

Lamar and maybe SHSU are next in line to get invited to the WAC.  By 2014 the WAC will probably have 12 schools (9 football) with divisions, and it'll be a lot better than the Southland.  If Lamar turns down the WAC then SHSU will accept for sure.

[/quote]I was a big advocate for Lamar to the wac 1 year ago. Today, I say Lamar needs to stay off that boat.
There is talk of a WAC/Big sky merger.

[/quote]Let Sam take it. Lamar is better off going Sunbelt. Lamar needs to go Sunbelt quickly before UTSA and Texas st realize their mistake.

[coachacola]

Lamar would be better off in the Sun Belt, but they probably have to go through the WAC to get there.  But joining the WAC would really suck for Lamar if La Tech left because the closest team would be Texas State 5 hours away.

You make it sound like Lamar has an option on which conference they go to, but the fact is that a conference has to invite Lamar.

[/quote]Lamar needs to get off its butt and make the invite happen. The WAC didn't pull UTSA.Tex st names out of a hat. Those schools were loud about going FBS. They said we are ready, willing, and able. Even Sam Houston is making noise while Lamar is being passive and iffy.

Here is a scenario that scares the heck out of me. ULM drops out of the Sunbelt, La Tech joins in their place. Results, zero opportunity for LU to go FBS.

[/quote]The WAC is in a civil war. La tech wants out more than ever, so does Utah st. If La tech goes Sunbelt, do you honestly want LU in the WAC?
