UCD has been to the tourney since UNLV has and their current NET Ranking is 164 UNLV is 153. So basically the MWC said we need another basketball school that is similar to UNLV and the rest of the garbage that will be left in this conference.
Taking FB out of the equation since for now they wont play in the MWC, overall UCD has a better athletic department. No clue what their plan is but I assume they are talking about what it will take to jump up in FB to FBS and now they have a league, a crap one but a league nevertheless to do it.
