I would think no news means it ain't over, or at least the conferences are still stringing us along. As soon as UTEP admin know it's over I believe Heather Wilson is a savvy enough politician to get out in front of the news and say something like "After being pursued by multiple conferences, we have decided it is in our best interest to remain in CUSA for the time being. We are always watching realignments and will continue to make the best decisions for UTEP moving forward"

If that is the statement we get, she needs to be fired immediately after hitting send.

I'm torn between feeling optimistic that the Pac-12 sees us as a more appealing option than Texas State or accepting the reality that if Texas State isn't on their radar, we probably aren't either.

It's getting close to closing time at the bar. We're ugly, lonely, desperate, and have some personal grooming issues. But there's still a couple guys hanging around checking out who's left because they're also desperate. We're just hoping one of them gets rejected enough times AND has has had way too much to drink AND is desperate enough to take us home instead of just going home alone.

Texas St and UTEP football are about equal. They have only been decent this season and last. UTEP basketball rapes Texas St basketball, both in records and arenas. Texas St is in between San Antonio and Austin, and located in the Central Time Zone. That is what makes them more attractive than UTEP.

But yes, if the Pac 12 really doesn’t want TSU, they definitely don’t want UTEP.

I wonder if the announcement today is being delayed due to the Nation Wide Verizon outage?! Lol

I was about to ask if a conference required us to increase our budget where does the money go. Then I found this. Maybe someone else here will find it interesting.

What I believe, is the PAC and MW what to increase their league to 10 teams each. That to me makes the most sense. However, which teams to pick becomes the "big deal" question. I see the PAC only interested in FBS schools and I can see UTEP, NMSU,Texas State or SHSU in the mix for the three schools to accept. I believe the MW would be incline to add FCS schools in their mix and maybe UTEP or Texas State or both.
In short, look for each league to acquire three teams each and that's the reason for the delay in any news coming out. But, I expect something by Wednesday.
Sit tight and hold on, the ride is going to worth the wait.

While I agree UTEP to the PAC is a pipe dream, desperation is a hell of a drug.

PAC has so far struck out with the AAC teams, UNLV, the remainder of the MWC (although that agreement they all signed might not be worth the paper it's written on), and I don't know if their pride will let them go the FCS route.

We'll see what happens with TX ST, but the options are dwindling. Which should be the athletics department's slogan.

There’s no way the Pac 12 takes FCS schools.

That doesn’t bother me. What do you say after giving a kid the hook? He can’t flat out say he wasn’t playing good and Cade went out there threw the ball with reckless abandon and almost undid everyone’s mistakes. Just like everyone else Walden is still learning on the job, and next time he’ll know he needs to have a better answer.

Why not? He's a big boy. CSW said it was a close competition from the get go.....what's wrong with saying "you haven't been playing well, we're gonna try the other guy." He pretty much said that to Teicher after the game and said they needed a spark.

Guys, don’t fall for the fools gold.

If the Pac 12 didn’t want UNM, they sure as shit do not want UTEP.
