I would rather have LaTech than Tarleton, but if their media partners say otherwise, then you take a Texas team

I think this will help especially if Walden recruits in Cali and the west coast.

So with Texas State out I guess Tarleton is up. Interesting that Tarleton was higher on the priority list than NMSU. I would have even thought La Tech would be better.

Cal wasn't very good. The Texas win was good, though, but it wasn't with UTEP.

Well now that Texas St. is out that would seem like a wise move. I know Tarleton St. is talking to the MWC, but I think MWC needs to Bolster the football side and N. Illinois and Toledo would help! So then C. It is lol

C. UTEP, UNLV, SJSU, Wyoming, Nevada, UNM, Air Force, Hawaii (Football), N. Illinois (Football), Toledo (Football) St. Mary’s (Basketball), Grand Canyon (Basketball)

Boom Done!

Having murder plots on their basketball players might have something to do with that.

One and done: UNM and NMSU men's basketball will now play just once a season

Twice was nice, but it's now one and done for the annual in-state hoops rivalry between the UNM Lobos and NMSU Aggies.

B
Toledo (consistently there in the MAC, Bowl appearances in '10, '11 '12 '14 '15 '16 '17 '18 '21 '22 '23)
N. Illinois the same with bowls '10-'15, '17, '18, '21' 23 (and recent win over Norte Dame this year) would bring the elevated competition
St. Mary's or GCU for basketball would be fine

Even so, UNM and NMSU are no longer doing H/H in basketball any longer.

I’m happy to be joining the MWC, but can’t help wonder if the Pac gave UTEP any serious consideration. I know some of the newly added Pac schools believe their schools are P4 level and maybe were against us joining them. It appears TX State’s goal is to get into the Pac but they are patiently waiting to see how things play out. I don’t blame TX State for taking their time, but it would suck if they get into the Pac. I know the MWC and Pac were trying to attract Texas schools, but the options are dwindling down. I see the Pac making another effort to get Memphis or another AAC team.

Now that we know Utep is going to the MWC. This thread was started based on the speculation of how much Utep would be better off in a watered down MWC. Which of these two MWC scenarios do we like better for Utep? Me personally A. slightly

A. UTEP, UNLV, SJSU, Wyoming, Nevada, UNM, Air Force, Hawaii (Football), Texas St. Sam Houston, St. Mary’s or Grand Canyon (Basketball)

B. UTEP, UNLV, SJSU, Wyoming, Nevada, UNM, Air Force, Hawaii (Football), Tarleton St., Toledo or N. Illinois (Football), St Mary’s or Grand Canyon (Basketball)
