In the near future[5 years or so] it would appear that CUSA and the SBC would join together and reconfigure into two more geographic friendly conferences. As T.V. money goes away, travel expense reduction become more important.While I personally find that appealing, it does come with its own set of problems. First, its a given that no one wants ULM . Second, the Western Conference would have 5 Texas programs, plus A-State,ULL, and hopefully La. Tech.NMSU might come into play as a 9th member,as I see no reason why So.Miss or any of the 3 Alabama schools would want to go West and play in basically a Texas Conference. In fact, I would be concerned whether or not La. Tech would want to stay west.The Western Conference should consider UTA and UALR as non football playing members.The bottom line is that by combining conferences The Eastern Conference looks more appealing to me than the Western, but that' just an old man's opinion.What is yours?
