WAC expansion rumors

[robertobutler]

Apparently there could be a WAC reboot - rumor has it that SFA, Lamar, Sam, and Abilene Christian have been invited to join a new WAC conference. And it could be an FBS conference from what I'm told.

Interesting subject but unless there are more schools involved I don't think the administration at Lamar should make this move.

 

Only NM State of current members play football. Then there is the travel as the conference members are from states like Washington, California and Utah.

 

I found where the WAC added Tarleton State July 1, 2020. One interesting note on Tarleton State is their MBB Head Coach is Billy Gillispie.

If Lamar were to move to any other conference travel would be an issue. Lamar hasn't consistently competed for conference championships in a long time, so I think that would be the first priority for athletic department.
