Still Some Questions on Texas-Area Conferences
Questions remain about the Red River DIA Conference and the Southwestern Conference in DIA, as teams are moving back and forth and we've seen no final confirmation of a schedule, or even what teams are where.
What does seem to be evident right now is that some team shifting means that two programs - North Texas and Texas State - are essentially teams without a conference.
DIA To Add Teams
The DIA College meetings were held this weekend and the conferences decided to add several teams for the 2016-17 season.
Every conference was represented at the meetings in Colorado, and among the many issues discussed was the addition of college programs hoping to move up.
Among the additions:
Red River Latest
Oklahoma improved to 5-1 in the Red River with a 20-12 victory over Texas.
LSU Holds On v Plucky A&M
LSU just barely got by Texas A&M Saturday to remain undefeated in the Red River Conference in DIA rugby.
Underappreciated LSU Keeps Winning
LSU seems poised to win the Red River Conference and vault into the DIA playoffs.
All the Tigers need to do is run the rest of the conference table, which includes Texas A&M this weekend, and Baylor April 2. But since LSU has already defeated Oklahoma, the Tigers are expected to continue to win.
