So back in the old days, conferences were 8 to 9 members max. Does the MWC really need to go beyond that? Everyone played each other in football. In basketball everyone played each other home and home. Wouldn’t it mean more revenue shares for each member?

That's not true at all. The Locomotive were 8/24 in attendance in 2023. They drew 112,038 (6,517 for 17 games). The Chihuahuas were 2/10 in attendance in 2023. They drew 507,907 (6,772 for 75 games).

UTEP football and basketball attendance isn't bad, compared to a lot of other schools.

Like I said, screw it lean into the cholo angle. HBCUs have their thing and they embrace it. Let’s go ahead and be the cholo school. I’d honestly prefer some Kid Frost instead of lame ass Journey.

Texas St. easily, but apparently they have reason to believe that the PAC is a real possibility so they have MWC on hold. With that being said Tarleton St. is definitely pushing to get to FBS, but I’d personally rather see Sam Houston or La Tech before them only because they’re already FBS. Let CUSA continue to be the transition league!

So still awaiting the announcement of the 8th full sports MWC member. Texas State and Tarleton State are the two most mentioned schools on Twitter (I refuse to call it X). Any preference, or rather the MWC court someone else?

2Step is referring to a time in football when Liberty and NMSU scheduled each other twice in one year. Not talking about basketball. That is fine. Even so, UNM and NMSU are no longer doing H/H in basketball any longer.

I caught that Texas St quote as well and thought he might have let the cat out of the bag.

For UTEP's sake, it's best for NMSU to remain in CUSA or go Pac12. This allows us to schedule them OOC for football. For basketball it will make things easier to get quality opponents into the Don.......they come into ELP to play NMSU for a conference game, we get them the day after or before in an OOC game at the Don.

I listened to some of the press conference. Notes:
Senter said the MWC is helping UTEP with some money for exit/entrance fees and didn’t not expand further.

Said his football scheduling is messed up now because of switching to MWC. He went over the teams, but also included Utah St and Texas St. He probably misspoke on Utah St, and he also could have done the same with Texas St too. So maybe Texas St is coming too.

Then talked about scheduling home and homes with Moccia, which would indicate that NMSU is not going to be joining.

This could be just usual AD speak on both things, but we will see.

Couldn’t watch the presser live. Did it just end like that or is there a second video to watch?

UTEP had schedule contracts with San Jose State, Wyoming, Texas State, Nevada, and UNLV. That’s alot of open dates

That’s what he was referring to. And now NMSU will be non-conference

UNM and NMSU do home and home each season. Why can’t UTEP and NMSU? Why is that such a bad thing?
