Up-To-Date Conference "Footprint" Map

Up-to-date Conference "footprint" map. Makes WAC look even more like the World Athletic Conference

Updated map with conference member names.

That WAC map with the border outline, from La Tech to Hawaii, is pretty funny.

Cool maps. A few observations:

Austin is a lot closer to the coast than I thought.

I didn't know Stillwater was south of Norman.

Looks like Tech might be closer to Amarillo than Lubbock.

Only 3 D-1A independents left? I thought Army was in C-USA? I thought Navy was in a conference too (can't remember which one).

Notre Dame will be an independent in football forever. Why share TV money with a conference when they can keep it to themselves?

Army left to go independent. They wanted more flexibility in scheduling and a better chance to actually have a winning season. I wish they had stayed though. I loved going to West Point when Southern Miss played there in 2002.

--It might be cheaper for the WAC teams to pay LaTech to leave, it would save a lot on travel money.... Hawaii is a long trip too but it sounds good to recruits to get to play in Hawaii... but Northern Louisiana... naaah, no great attraction. LaTech's bank account is about to take a big hit unless they leave or are encouraged to leave.

---The MAC is the most compact it appears and was even more-so before allowing Temple in.

---It looks like every university on I-35 slid to the east a few miles. Tech is now in Tulia even worse, OU and OSU switched campuses.

---Notre Dame is now the only non-military academy not in a conference... and it will not change as long as they have that NBC contract......but NBC may get tired of them if they don't start winning big again.

yeah, re-do the maps, come on. stillwater is like two hours north of norman, and austin i don't think that is lake travis that austin is so close to on there.

I made them freehand using a Photoshop and Yahoo! maps...

I'll try to fix them.

Man we got some harsh critics here, maybe one of you critics should take the time to fix a map like that.

Nah, Hattiesburg is in the right place. That's all that really matters.

Try reloading and see if they look better?

I moved TTU south, A&M and UT north, and swapped OU and OSU's name.
