Filled up my 440z plastic cup with Diet Dr Pepper a while ago.
And I happened to think about this.
>>> Why does Dr Pepper no longer sponsor this for the WTAMU Lady Buffs basketball team?
It was a tradition...and lots of people remember the name.
>>> Definitely NOT enough corporate sponsorships going on with WT.
Especially big national corporate names like Dr Pepper.
>>> Did the sponsor drop WT...or did WT end the agreement?
From a search...I know that the last year appears to have been 2003.

I'm somewhat surprised because that was when Ed Harris was still the AD at WT.
In some ways Ed seemed more progressive.
While McBroom currently seems to cater to the Keep WT Small And Forever In D2 bunch.
>>> No one should ever say WT would never be able to handle D1 if WT lets sponsorships get away.
>>> Both WT basketball teams should have a major corporate sponsor.
