it looks like we finally will get what we have wished for: a national conference with a regional division apparently made up of UTEP,UTSA,RICE,TULSA,TULANE[i think La.TECH will go east], and NORTH TEXAS. major programs fans go to watch their team play regardless of who their opponent is. mid-major programs such as UNT go to watch who their team is playing. we now have no excuses not to increase attendance based upon our competation.
