Wac Members Continue To Complain About Expansion

[MeanGreen61]

The WAC is in some turmoil and the public dismay by two of its members isn't helping. For the WAC to actually grow or even survive as an FBS league, all of its members need to get on the same page and work toward putting the conference back together.

The latest to voice strong opinions about the WAC waiting to add football schools is Louisiana Tech. Tech athletic director Bruce Van De Velde told the Shreveport Times he wasn't happy with the direction the WAC decided to go.

"We weren't as enthusiastic (about it) as some of the other schools," Van De Velde said. "We felt they should have added a football-playing school and we encouraged them to do so. We feel they should be looking to add a team in the Central time zone if Louisiana Tech is to remain in the WAC.

I read that as threatening a move to the Belt. Any other way of reading that?

Also, notice La Tech refered to it's own conference as "they" instead of "we."

Maybe wee would be a better word.

And if you read their fan board, many "insiders" firmly believe La Tech will be the next CUSA member. Period.

Pretty easy to become top dog when everyone better than you ... leaves.
