ON ATHLETIC DIRECTOR LARRY TEIS
This is normally the time of year when the sports world is gearing up to cover College Football. In most cases the College teams, not their administrators, garner the attention from the press. This is not the case however, for Texas State Athletic Director Larry Teis, whose sometimes controversial leadership is being discussed in a Will Butler piece for the web site.Underdog Dynasty Story(link)
In brief, some Texas State fans and donors believe that Teis missed the mark during the last round of realignment. That he should have lobbied Conference USA and the MWC harder for an invite. Some blame Teis for not selling the Bobcat program well enough to these two conferences.
Let's be honest, if Conference USA or the MWC had wanted Texas State in their conference, the Bobcats would not be in the Sun Belt right now. Realignment continues to be what it is has always been, a business decision based on financials and potential vs slick advertising and the sending of fruit baskets to league Commissioners. Butler's article is a worth a read as he lays out both sides of the argument.
