UNT fans seem OK with passing over overtures from the Western Athletic Conference again for the security of the Sun Belt Conference’s warm teat.

It seems horrifically poor logic as the Sun Belt is the worst FBS conference out there.

I have to ask, will UNT fans feel the same if UTSA or Texas State gets tabbed as the 9th team by a possibly desperate WAC?

You want an even worse thought, what if UNT blows off the WAC, Texas State or even UTSA gets in, and then they become an SMU sized roadblock of any future UNT WAC admission?

If Texas State were to get in, it could make a lot of sense to block UNT and UTSA.  San Marcos (in the shadow of Austin) is potentially a very tough recruiting position with UTSA in the same conference.  Being in a higher level conference than UNT should allow Texas State to suppliment their recruiting with DFW talent at UNT’s expense.
