So very damaging. Gotta win the next two games and this will go away much more quickly.
Feel really bad for CBO. Doesn’t sound like he had anything to do with the alleged promise or even knew about it. He’s done such an amazing job not only winning but the way he’s winning, the program he’s building, and building character in young men. It’s been so pleasing to watch while the rest of college sports decays. And then this happens. It’s like a sucker punch. Add on top of that the conf realignments and it’s just been a really bad week for him. Perhaps he’s beginning to realize why it’s so hard to build anything permanent at UNLV.

I don't if we need to add 4. I think we need a PAC approach to maximize payouts.
Does anyone is Sacramento give a crap about Sac St? They are the best market, but will they be an even worse version of SJSU where no one in that good market gives a crap? Plus they will cost an extra 5 mill to call up. But if they have some numbers to support that they would help the contract, then maybe
UTEP should be the first decent market with decent market penetration when they don't suck absolute balls. NMSU doesn't move the needle at all but at least they won't be to biggest pushover competitively.
Then maybe stop there?
If Gonzaga goes PAC i say we grab st. Mary's and GCU for basketball only. We need more for basketball then football i think.

@LocoRebel

Tagged you here as well since you shared the idea the MWC doesn't need to go to 12.

I don't disagree..

But..

If UNLV does have designs on Big12. It might behoove (HELL YEAH USED IT IN A SENTENCE)
Gloria to add inventory for that possibility..

I can see both sides of it to be honest.

I threw LA Tech in there with the original idea/plan I had of adding Toledo/NIU and Liberty. Granted these schools aren't 'close' but La Tech closer than a lot of the MWC. Was trying to cut some travel. Cut those three out and left La Tech. Definitely my least favorite of that group listed above.

Ok. Looking at the landscape and what's available would you be content if this was the new MWC lineup. I didn't include NIU because I don't see how it makes sense. (Be glad to have them. Just not sure it happens.

I agree. We dont need to add a ton of teams unless there's something being asked by media partners. Get a lean conference but take away Pacs top targets..

Sorry, man. If this is an older movie reference, then you've got to hit me with a Dr Rosen Rosen reference.
If it's a newer movie reference, it's VERY likely I haven't seen the movie. I'm guessing that I may have watched 2 movies made after Covid started and maybe 3-4 within the 5 years prior.

To answer the question you actually asked... I'd be okay with the lineup. I don't love it, but need 2 full time members. I still think the overall picture should include consideration of Idaho and/or Weber State. But take out La Tech from the 5 you listed, and it's maybe the best situation we can reasonably draw up.

We know Pac 12 must take one more school, I'd assume that that school comes from the group of Texas State, UTEP, and NMSU. Personally, I imagine BSU and SDSU throwing a huge fit about bringing up any of them, but particularly Sac State. Credibility of that league would drop even more nationally. We know the MWC may have to go that route... but if the Big 12 decided to forego G6 expansion in favor of Abilene Christian, they would lose some credibility. So I expectone of the first 3 to Pac 12.

I think MWC would be best served grabbing Sac State (I genuinely think it's a good addition to the league, sure it isn't sexy.... but there arent generations of "meh" attached to them. Remember, Liberty and JMU were FCS 5 years ago.).

I don't like La Tech in the group, unless you specifically need something regionally to go with a Texas State. Still not sure if I like them as that partner. Somewhere in this conversation, Sam Houston is in the conversation... not saying I support them for MWC membership, but Texas FBS school.

I might prefer Sac State, Idaho, amd Texas State as top 3. I maintain if you get either UTEP or NMSU, you gotta grab the other. Because of geography, they are less valuable individually than they are together, IMO.
