Glad to be in the MWC, but I hope UTEP admin is more proactive this time when dealing with the conference bc these a$$holes have ditched us before.

Im all for a free market, but can we at least force them to change their name to something that isn’t confused with a pack of cigarettes or a mental ward

Yeah, but we have to believe that people smarter than us, are doing that because a tv network said they were more valuable than NMSU.

Have we been conference mates long enough to collectively sh’t on the idea of Tarleton State?

It should eventually, but it helps everyone in the league as well. I think UTEP is looking at adding $10-15M to the current budget just to be near the bottom schools in the conference. That is a huge commitment.

I'm not that smart, but won't the additional revenue from a betit ter conference also help the budget?

Time for the Administration and the community to step up their support of UTEP athletics.

Based on the figures linked below (not the latest), UTEP would be at the bottom in terms of athletics budgets in the MWC. This is the area where Wilson needs to make a commitment, and hopefully that was part of the negotiations. The new NIL legislation, in which the schools, pay the athletes has to be taken into account as well.

Yeah

but the goal is to win national titles and they're already competitive at that level in their current conference. This has hints of UNLV leaving the big west in the 90s and never really getting back to the same national competitive stage.

Right, that's basically why I think MWC should target GCU.

I’m not. It was time for them to stop beating almost all of their WCC opponents by 20 points most nights.
