Southland headed for breakup, WAC defections would leave conference with six football schools
In what will likely be known as the Texas Exodus, multiple sources and reports say four Texas schools will soon announce their exit from the SLC starting in July of 2022.
Lamar, Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin and Abilene Christian are expected to make the news official on Thursday that they are leaving for the repackaged Western Athletic Conference. The four Southland schools will break the news at NRG Stadium in Houston, according to sources. It will mark the return of football to the WAC, which hasn't had the sport since 2012. The WAC will play at the Football Championship Subdivision for now, which is the same level as the SLC. Also expected to join is Southern Utah from the Big Sky.
