Pete Rose passes away

Congratulations. Mission accomplished. You kept the all-time hits leader out of the Baseball Hall of Fame while he was alive. Let’s hope they’ll have the sense to posthumously induct him as early as next year.

New MWC Possibility:

SteveK just said on SportsTalk he expects Utep to remain in CUSA.
Yes, that is a possibility. However, it does not change the fact that the Pac7/MWC need teams. Pac needs 1 team. MWC needs at least 2. Even if these conferences get their 8 teams, that only leaves 7 football games, meaning they need 5 OOC games. The SEC, Big 10, and Big 12 only play 3 OOC games. Not like there’s a bunch of teams looking for games.

If you only have 8 conference members, that’s only 14 basketball games. I guess you could play some teams 3 times in the regular season. 8 is the minimum and they’re not setting themselves up for a solid conference.

These expansion teams gotta come from somewhere. If Texas St declines, that’s better for UTEP, but they’re still in the mix even if TSU accepts the MWC invite.

New MWC Possibility:

CUSA. Is anyone even surprised? This new administration has shown no signs of upping the commitment to athletics. Our President stated she only expects a 50/50 chance of winning games and is only committed to her Star Wars program. Our AD is useless and is following the path of least resistance until he decides to retire in 10 years because he held to no standards by his boss.
Star Wars? Stuck in the 80's much?

She knows how to get that defense budget pig trough money....that DOD and NSA scale program being on of them.

New MWC Possibility:

I'm already getting stoked for that first conference game with Gardner-Webb some random Tuesday night in October a couple years from now.
went on about how not having a consistent football program, not even mike price could do it!

watch, we get consistent, but king of a smaller irrelevant hill. All comes down to $$$ and since it appears as if there's no alumni who wish to donate even $5 a month (imagine 5,000 minimum a month for 12 months is $300,000 we don't have) we'll always be behind. No big doner will help, other priorities I'm sure.
