Coming up from the FCS the UCTX Tanners have accepted an invitation to play in the Sun Belt Conference. The contract is only from 2013-2015 but it is a great opportunity to get the Tanners recognition as a Group of 5 program. Being in Texas A&M�s backyard UCTX has always struggled with recruiting but the program feels that the jump to FBS could open doors for the program. The Tanners have already had many Power 5 programs reach out to schedule them for a early season game or �warm up� game. Those schools are LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and even as far north as Minnesota. Although no out it conference games have been scheduled yet the Tanners are in talks with two of these schools. The Sun Belt Conference had also extended invitations to New Mexico, Georgia Southern, and Old Dominion. We will keep you updated as news rolls in for this exciting first season as a FBS program!
