Looks like they see the writing on the wall. Maybe Benson will throw them a bone from the Belt?

UTA gets the Belt in the DFW market, and they have a good baseball program.if they loose UNT and FIU as expected, they are down to 8 football programs. the addition ot Georgia State and Texas State gets them back to 10 football programs plus UALR. looks like UTA would be the 12th basketball program in a big market.sleepers are NMSU, which i think is out of the Belt's footprint, and UNC @ Charlotte, which i believe has pushed back addition of a football program to 2105.

Now, that is some longe range planning! Screw the 5-yr plan!

On the plus side that should make the capital campaign pretty easy if you can find a decent investment vehicle.

"On Saturday, the Twitter account of texasstate.rivals.com said, 'barring a miracle' Texas State will be joining the Sun Belt."

Two things. 1) Quoting unnamed twitter accounts as a source? Really?

2) Thank God we may soon be leaving the Belt, which is viewed with disdain by EVERYONE in major college football.
