"With all of the restructuring on the national level, the reality of the issues are much different this time." Officials in A&M's athletic department felt the move would be beneficial to A&M and would get A&M out of a conference that had grown stagnant. "I believe it would be a good move," Groff said. "The Southwest Conference is at a stand still, and if you're not going forward, you're going backward." Head football coach R.C. Slocum agreed with Groff and said the SWC has been in de cline for a number of years. "The Southwest Conference has had a num ber of problems," Slocum said. "It has been headed in a negative direction for several years. "I think this is a positive new direction for A&M to go in." The financial effects of the move would benefit A&M as well, Groff said. "Financially, it will be nothing but a gain," Groff said. "The way I understand it, we stand to gain quite a bit." Groff said the additional funds A&M could recieve might be used in a number of ways. Women's programs could get more funding to try and comply with Title IX (the gender equi ty law) requirements and the athletic depart ment could be self-supporting, he added. "It would be nice to be self-supporting," Groff said. "Right now the University uses funds to help support the athletic department. If we were self-supporting, those funds could be used for academics." Both Groff and Associate Athletic Djreci for Women Lynn Hickey agreed that a to the Big Eight would provide credibil many of A&M's athletic programs. 'Surfacewise, for women's basketball finking Sion de ’tie pt ake s Ifth I withou ln g' ^ would be a great conference, Hickey said p we moved today, the (new) conferencewc: with , have three teams in the top 10.
