ESPN posted that Tx St got an official invite today.
MW invite
- Thread starter rickyb55
- Start date
supposedly they are also in discussions with the pac also but no offer from the pac as of now. i dont know much about Texas St but gets us in Texas which can help recruiting.
Outside of Sacramento State, Texas state is our best choice. Both have serious upside.
If it's between us and the PAC, all we need to offer is 2.6 million. They BROKE!
Other than sac st being in a big town, what is fasination with them? Most of sac does not know they exist in sports.
Grand canyon would be a great add for hoop.
Yeah we will have to use some of that money to pay their $5MM departure fee (or part of it) if we want them.
Hopefully Texas State does not accept and the MW invites who they should have invited in TX first of all.
The (UTSA) University of Texas at San Antonio. They have the bigger TV market and where ranked in the Top 25 a few season ago.
They have 5-1 record vs Texas State with a better name with No "State" in it and they Play the Rebels in 2027 in LV.

7th largest university in Texas. Located in San Marcos.

Not historically strong FB program but recently started investing heavily.
Look to have a good young up and coming coach. Lost today to Sam Houston State in close game.
A lot of upside for that program. Read they have solid donor base.
Think they would be a good add.
School I think even if this realignment hadn't happened MWC would have had an eye on for expansion.
Texas State sounds generically fake. Like it's the name of a fictional football team from a movie. I hope they go to the PAC
Why would you want that when the MWC needs a minimum of 2 more schools?
Plus if PAC Is interested in them and MWC can scoop them up its another failure in their attempt to build a conference.
Unfortunately UTSA is out of our league now. We should have invited them years ago. They turned down the PAC last week. If the numbers didn’t work for the PAC there’s no way they’re paying a $27.5 million exit fee for the MWC. Texas state is the best we can do.
GCU's students (Havocs) throw a crazy party! I was at the WAC championship game last year. Those kids didn't sit down the whole time. They are moving to the West Coast Conference which is an upgrade as long as the Zags and St. Mary's stay put. GCU has solid athletic programs across the board so yes, they would be a great add. Football would never be a thing, at least as long as Dr. Mueller is there as President.
