No clue, but if they are getting an exemption on the naming might as well let them have it on the colors too. Nothing wrong with orange and purple but it would upset them (understandably) and also cost about $1M in repainting stuff. It's amazing how much painting we had to do to eradicate the old Pan American green.

I'm wondering if they'll be able to close the deal before students/faculty in Austin occupy the regents' offices to remind us all that Stephen F. Austin owned slaves, mined lead, killed Karankawas, traded in tobacco, and ate meat, among a whole bunch of other things.

Name and colors are safe, per proposals and future agreement.

UT chancellor was even photographed sporting an SFA quarterzip yesterday.

If there ever were a hint of orange added, it'd like be MD Anderson/UTMB "orange" that's in all actuality a red and brought back as part of SFA's old red accents. But even that is unlikely given the agreement and the popularity of the accent's demise.

A&M System screwed this up from the get go. Missed a great opportunity with this one... especially the connection with the Forest Service.

Personally, I'm glad. I wouldn't have been mad about any system, save for TX State. But I think everyone wanted to oversell the "cultural fit" of the A&M system,and I see some serious deficiences in how CStat treats the non PUF schools.

I hope for the state's sake that TAMU gets pissed on missing out and pours into the entire system for a while too. (I'm not dumb enough to pretend UT Austin grew the system at it's own expense out of pure altruism, but Austin's geography hemmed them in and forced their hand to an extent too. Which turned out to be a win/win.)

Honestly PojoqauePussy your negative attitude isn’t needed here on WACbbs. Go to the flyover league board.

Are we going to put Climate Change and the Kennedy Assassination on SFA???...Or is this the wrong crowd???...Just wanted to get the story straight in case the black suits (in place of Men in Black to be on the safe side) arrive asking questions...

UT has the most money and would probably help it the most, A&M is strict and stingy and generally does not like to promote it system schools in anything, and joining Tech is just worthless in academics and sports, you might as well drop to NAIA and add CC to the end of your name. One important aspect of the UT vs AM system is that, at the undergrad level, the AM system is far more strict with grades and requirements. for most BA's in the UT System for example, you would only need 8 hours (2 courses) in a foreign language, where AM requires 14 hours (4 courses) ( the latter 2 not having labs). Also, the UT system has a +- grading system to where, for example, if you get a 85 or better in a course, you get a 3.5, where as in the AM system you get an 89.9 you get a 3.0. This can make a huge difference in your final GPA. I have had this bite me in the back side multiple times. I had 3 classes at Tarleton where I got an 89.5+ and still got a 3.0 for the class. My Int Bus Law prof low balled me on grades just because he was/is a monumental dick face. But I am not bitter05-mafia


I think this pretty much sums up 90% of all professions I had in college. Still laugh out loud the first time my daughter called to tell about a woman professor that tried to give her a zero on an exam because she away on road trip for Tennis. I won’t tell you the names she described her with. Said her whole attitude changed after finding out she was a student athlete. Needless to say her A went to a low B and was lucky to get the B.

You are like a pesky horsefly. You fly around annoying everyone and offer nothing of substance in regards to the WAC. Newsflash, no here cares about the flyover league. Carry yourself back to that board where you might actually have something of value to add. Geez, why are these types even allowed over here. They have no vested interest in the WAC.

RE: SFA looking for system home
You went back seven days to find an old post and comment?---Fine --but it IS related to the WAC since SFA is what this thread is about and my post involves SFA.

I have been posting on this board long before you joined. Way back to the Scout board days and have had maybe one complaint over about nine years time. Been welcomed here and am very respectful to all.

If you can show where my post is inaccurate or has no relation to the original post I will make a correction.

Your whole problem is your bring your baggage over here from your conference. Go back and read your posts on this thread and other WAC threads. Rah rah to the Flyover Conference. We are one Liberty defection away from being an also ran band of misfits as we zig zag across the US to play each other and no one even notices.

This is the WAC board. These are WAC topics. Nowhere do I find that WAC topics relate to the Flyover Conference except through you. You even suggest poaching WAC schools which is detrimental to the conference.

Good grief, lady. Is there no end to your douchebaggery? Look, there are only a handful of posters on this board douchey enough to go around posting with an alter ego. I can say quite confidently that none of them are from Texas. Considering you're the one bringing it up...well, as they say, "she who smelt it, dealt it".

So let’s take this back to the general original topic, why do you think SFA is the best institution to be invited to CUSA? What gives them the edge over the other WAC schools? Hopefully there is more behind your opinion than your final sentence.

I missed your original post.

Top, it’s funny that SFA to CUSA has been talked about a LOT on here already, and then they wanna get snippy with you for “daring” to mention it as a CUSA member fan. What a joke.

I’d say, spare yourself the grief and don’t bother with the people in this board. They don’t want a real discussion. They’ll bait you into a discussion and then argue against everything you tell them.

Yes, I agree and he can take you by the hand lead you off to the flyover conference board as well. Negative Nancy here bores us with his constant doom and gloom. Newsflash the WAC always seems to find a way to survive so we will do just fine without you as well.

The Flyover Conference doesn’t need SFA. They need N Dakota St and Montana St so they can continue to log those miles. Good thing it’s called Conference U.S.A.

Can you imagine being a student athlete after all the defections, travel alone is going to kill your gpa.
