Are HPU and LeTourneau acceptable to the SCAC?
HPU makes a nice travel partner for McMurry.
I guess the question as much as acceptability would be can the SCAC easily deal with that many schools? HPU brings a football team which would shore up the small numbers there (six if everyone who has committed to playing by 2026 actually does). I could see the SCAC jumping on HPU for that reason alone. For some reason I seem to remember discussion of LeTU being approached in the past but being happy to remain in the ASC; obviously that could change given the current climate.
My understanding is that that's exactly what happened. They were approached and said no thank you. Not sure they would still have a spot so they might well be kicking themselves right about now. Also been hearing some rumors that HPU is potentially on a financial precipice and could be in trouble in the coming years, so I think the SCAC might steer clear of that one as well, but who knows.
