From our perspective, you are absolutely right, Grand. However, in spite of 42 years in Division 1-A (and whatever it was called or is called) we are still thought of by some as not quite up to par. Rice, SMU, and Houston are more glamorous because of their Southwest Conference days and Tulsa and UTEP are already in that same conference. Because of that perceived stigma, we have to be a little better. Potential is nice but it doesn't pay today's rent. The fact that all five already play three 'directional' universities within their conference should help us immensely.

Personally, I'd like to have Louisiana and Arkansas State in this proposed conference but I'm leery that there would be enough support from the others to make that happen. Deep also mentioned Tulane and I agree. He included La Tech, which would be an easier sell, and I have to agree with him on that as well.
