Could Lamar leave the Southland Conference?

[Eagles1]

I hope Lamar will continue to have the great attendance they are currently having.  But, unfortunately, in the past that has not been the case in Beaumont.  We had a pretty good Class AA professional baseball team that nobody came to watch, and I remember the days of sitting in the stadium watching Lamar with about 2000 other people (not 17,000).  So, I think Lamar should try to be a great DII college, and don't get crazy with aspirations of becoming the next DI power in Texas.  We don't have the city to attract recruits like Austin or the Metroplex.  Lamar will always have to depend on the tier two athletes who are not quite good enough for the D1 schools.  Absolutely nothing wrong with this, just the truth.  Hopefully the fans will continue their support as they have in this inaugural year.  It has been great!

Only problem with your argument is that Lamar is not a Division II football program.

Ruckdad you beat me to it. Lamar is DI in all their sports and compete in the FCS of DI football.

It's time for TexasTerror to chime in and give us a lecture on this.  ;D
