Previous attempts to get into the MWC.When have they asked them?

That’s the million dollar question. It could happen. Money can make all that bullshit go away quick.Question.....is it possible that during the course of the legal proceedings between PAC and MWC that they realize they're both being stupid and they say "F*ck it, let's merge"? Or has that ship sailed?
I hope UTEP gets in......but I'm expecting the absolute worst.
It doesn’t matter how often Senter “calls up” the MWC, they’re going to take UTEP for reasons other than persistence. Just because Senter hasn’t sent out a press release stating they’re trying to get in, doesn’t mean they are not “trying”.Most of us get it because we've been on the wrong end for the past 30 years and have gone through this comparison with other schools ad nauseum. Your comment doesn't add any special insight. My point here is on the proactive nature of the administration, not the overall package.

If TSU were in Amarillo, they would be on the same level as us. They’re in “Austin”, so they’re several levels above us.

I take this back as of this morning - pigs are in fact flyingWhere does the 8th team come from then? Texas St I suppose?
LiesHow so?? If a coach promised him some money and the school hasn't paid. How is he at fault??
News quoted our commissionerHow do you know?
The kid is a complete c*nt - on to the next player
Here's the thing: fans and local media have asked the Sun Bowl Selection Committee a couple of times in the past about helping UTEP get into a better conference by offering up a Sun Bowl bid to that conference. The Sunnies have always refused. I guarantee that they will do so again.
Probably inferring you guys would be more attractive in realignmentWhat does this have to do with anything?
I’ve always been one that argued UTEP geographically fits with us in the MWThe MWC needs to secure that final spot immediately. The MWC is desperate to keep their conference alive after the mass defection. I believe that decision will be made before the end of the week. Adding UTEP to the MWC is the right choice. We have a history with most of these schools. I just hope that UTEP is that final school being discussed. I think UTEP should be talking to both the MWC and PAC-12 to see who will take us first. Again, a long-shot getting into the PAC-12, but what do you have to lose at this point?
Unless these two conferences decide to merge at the last minute, UTEP will be in the MWC in spite of Jim Senter.So are we erecting a Jim Senter statue outside the athletic department offices if he gets us in?
Sit tight. Invites coming out soon.You want to put in a good word for us? We would greatly appreciate it. No? Ok thanks
