June Ask The Commissioner

MeanGreen61 · June 5, 2006

John: Have you given any consideration to adding another bowl? Like what about trying to tie in with the Liberty Bowl? It would be great for ASU if they continue to stay in the SBC hunt like they did this past year. Also how to you feel about Western Kentucky and Texas State moving to Division-1A? Texas State has had some recent success in football. Not to mention they played Big 12 member Texas A&M to a very competitive game in 2005. Would WKU and TSU have a spot in the Sun Belt if they wanted it?

Commissioner Waters: When we have a second team that is bowl eligible on a consistent basis, we will add a second bowl. I think that day is closer than we think but neither I or our Executive Committee or ADs feel we should obligate $350,000-550,000 annually if we do not know for certain a team will be there to participate. All current members of the conference can move into a conference sport immediately should they add the sport. This has happened at several schools already. The same would be true for WKU.

Is there a form letter that people use for questions for Wright Waters?

There are two questions that are asked every month: adding a 2nd bowl game; and football conference expansion.

Could someone forward this month's reponse to all the WKU and TSU fans and alumni so that they will stop beating Wright Waters down every month? Thanks
