Yeah, they should add HBU and UNO in 2012. Then if/when Lamar leaves they can see if ACU wants to move up, if they don't then get UTPA.

I wonder if ORU would want in the SLC over the Summit. The Summit is probably a better bball conf. They'd get the nod over UTPA if they want in.

Newspaper story states Senator will not support using academic monies to keep school at D1 level.

Removal of monies to shore up athletics is why school is switching classification
