More Byu Fallout.....

Interesting comments at the very bottom, not sure if this is news or not. Credible source? Who knows.....

"Also, I was told today by a WAC official that Louisiana Tech and UTEP may be swapping conferences soon - with UTEP returning to the WAC and La. Tech joining Conference USA."

Wouldn't surprise me. I guess UTEP wants to be strictly a west coast related team. That would be huge for LA Tech after all of this fiasco.

This is what I was thinking. If the WAC fails this is terrible news for us because that means there are an influx of "more desirable" teams for CUSA to pick over us. As you stated La Tech is one of them...I hope the WAC can stay together so we can go to CUSA or MWC.

Not even UTEP can save the WAC now.

Why would utep agree to allow la tech to join a conference with a future...and make themselves 1 of 6 WAC teams? I don't buy it.

Agreed. All signs at UTEP point to them being thrilled to be in a conference with several ex-SWC members. They would probably bail on C-USA if the MWC came calling, but no way they leave for the WAC.

La Tech a better pick than us? No. Maybe to message board posters, but not to university presidents. There's a reason they were passed over twice for CUSA already. If they were getting in, it would've been done this last time around instead of picking up UTEP.
