That sux!! I know Alvernia, Delaware Valley, and Misericordia are on the rise, but damn…Now is the time for each school to decide to make the most of and the best of the wide-open opportunities available to them. Phil Steele's college football magazine has CUSA ranked number 11 of 11 conferences in football. Mid-Atlantic is 10. Mountain West at number nine. MWC sure has fallen too. If we joined them, it would be an improvement but not by much. UTEP needs to quit looking for greener pastures somewhere else and make it better where they are. Go Miners. Go CUSA.
Yep, we are not getting to MWC anytime soon. Just make an effort to dominate! No matter how crappy you conference is if you rule it you will get recognition.Now is the time for each school to decide to make the most of and the best of the wide-open opportunities available to them.

Yes and no. You are merely going by rankings. You are not including the TV deal. MWC teams make 4 million a year. They have a 6 year deal through 2026. Their deal is with CBS and Fox.Now is the time for each school to decide to make the most of and the best of the wide-open opportunities available to them.

That is the old deal. CUSA is no longer with Stadium and Facebook and the per team payout is $800,000Yes and no. You are merely going by rankings. You are not including the TV deal. MWC teams make 4 million a year. They have a 6 year deal through 2026. Their deal is with CBS and Fox.
CUSA tv deal goes 5 years with CBS Sport Network, Stadium and Facebook. It pays only 400 - 500 thousand per team. Which conference would you rather be in?
Ok so $800,00 per team vs 4 million. Which one do you want?That is the old deal. CUSA is no longer with Stadium and Facebook and the per team payout is $800,000
Conference USA announces new TV deal, brings increased exposure, revenue to New Mexico State
New Mexico State will enter Conference USA next year in the first year of an improved multimedia rights deal that the league announced on Thursday.www.lcsun-news.com
To be fair, if and when utep does finally get into the mwc, they won't be getting 4 mill a year anymore.Ok so $800,00 per team vs 4 million. Which one do you want?

SDSU did not humiliate themselves. The Pac 12 bumbling their media deal did. Not getting their media deal done screwed them and SDSU had no other choice than go back to the MWC. They are leaving the conference the question is just when and where.SDSU just humiliated themselves on the national stage.
Feel as you may about UTEP athletic leadership, UTEP is not going anywhere after that “take me back honey! I love you” gaffe.
Wilson is probably having Liberty brass over for Thanksgiving dinner for the 11/25th game with chicken & dumplings and a “We are home” sign on Mesa Street.
The extent of looking for greener pastures is open to debate. Kappy stated a year or so back that UTEP invited and turning down the MW is speculative and not verified.The way schools jump around every few years, are we going to recognize any of the conferences 10 or 15 years from now? I just want to see us quit looking for greener pastures elsewhere and improve our own product to the point where someone actually asks us to join them instead of the Miners always going hat in hand to do the asking. I know that would be a miracle but you gotta start somewhere.
With how greedy everyone is, these superconferences stand no chance at long term stability. There will continue to be split offs and movement.The way schools jump around every few years, are we going to recognize any of the conferences 10 or 15 years from now?

No. They didn’t put out a press release. Only their internal emails were released by a FOIA request.SDSU just humiliated themselves on the national stage.
Super conferences will be around as long as the money is there. If or when tv money goes away, then these 16 or 20 team leagues will go away. You better believe the SEC would add Florida St and Clemson today if they could and they would happily leave the ACC to join.With how greedy everyone is, these superconferences stand no chance at long term stability. There will continue to be split offs and movement.
So if the boss denies having an affair with the secretary (who is pregnant) but the hotel receipt is hidden in corporate offices, did the affair happen?No. They didn’t put out a press release. Only their internal emails were released by a FOIA request.
If the Pac 12 decides to expand, they’re still number 1 on the list.
You said they humiliated themselves on a national stage. They’re still in the MWC and they will still get a Pac 12 invite if they expand. They didn’t put anything out. The only people having fun with this are SJSU2Step and FresnoZay. Even then, they are secretly “thrilled” that SDSU is still in the conference and if SDSU wants to leave sooner, those schools will get more money when they do.So if the boss denies having an affair with the secretary (who is pregnant) but the hotel receipt is hidden in corporate offices, did the affair happen?
What difference does it make?
Right, no new conferences are forming. It’s still economically viable for West Virginia to fly their teams to Provo and Lubbock.The Power 5 conferences want to keep the multiple bids and bowls to themselves. A new conference automatic bid would cut into that. That's one reason the Sun Bowl game gets the fourth or fifth ranked teams from the PAC 12 and ACC. That and the fact that the Sun Bowl only pays out the fourth or fifth amount of money. On the surface, CUSA getting multiple bowl bids sounds good. It is as far as it goes. But the money payouts we get for the bowls we appear in are chump change compared to other conferences. Even the Sun Bowl looks like a big payout by comparison. CUSA gets a bowl game in Hawaii, but the payout doesn't even cover travel expenses. The conference has to subsidize the team that plays there. The rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. Other schools must think that appropriate for the Miners. Ha Ha. I can't think of a solution at the moment.
I would take UTEP paying $4M a year to join the MWC. Just pointing out the CUSA tv contract details were not current.Ok so $800,00 per team vs 4 million. Which one do you want?
Not only that, it appears the current 10 Pac 12 teams are having trouble getting a good deal themselves. They pretty much have to have something before their media days in a few weeks.I thought the Dallas and San Diego markets were supposed to help the PAC media deal. Maybe they don’t really move the needle with the tv executives.
